You are correct. However, there is a difference in the way that politicians lie.
The Dems are usually lawyers, and lawyers cannot lie in court, instead, they lie by omission - what they say is factually true, but they leave out contradictory information. Classic prosecutor technique.
Trump started off with gaslighting, telling crazy lies, but then he adopted the Goebbels technique of repeating the same lie over and over.
Can you tell when Trump is lying, or are you happily being gaslighted?
