President Donald Trump is violating the Iran nuclear deal and not listening to many US allies while leaving our future in doubt. Does this make him a deal breaker, and not a deal maker?

Truth-Telling, or veracity, can be defined as the avoidance of lying, deceptions, misrepresentations, and non-disclosure during interactions.

Being honest with the American people has been avoided. In addition, in some cultures, it is customary to hide serious facts for fear they will lose hope or become demoralized by the information.
