Accusing someone of lying implies a deliberate intent to mislead for his own purposes and conveys a moral as well as factual judgment to follow.

Closer to the truth about Donald Trump is he often speaks in hyperbole and /or as a salesman impressionisticly speaking in order to make his sale.

Not all statements are lies, for example "he hit the ball a mile" or, I had a million e -mails today"

Examples by Trump "Thousands of Muslims celebrated 9/11 on the rooftops of "New Jersey. Perhaps not thousands but Muslims there did indeed celebrate when the towers went down. Another example "millions of votes cast illegally in the presidential election. Perhaps not millions but many instances of illegal voting have been documented.

Let's view it from a different lens. there is a difference between being wrong and lying. Bush had been wrong about Saddam possessing WMD. However Obama said "if you like your insurance you can keep it". If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" we now know he was telling a lie............................
courtsey of WSJ articles

Consider this truth.

The liberal media follows the George Constanza rule that " Its not a lie if you believe it" The liberal media's credibility ratings are in the tank abiding by the Constanza rule
