I also wanted to add a detail. I personally believe it is an important detail.

If the person believes what they are saying they are not technically lying. Lying requires knowing one thing to be true and saying something else. It is a very subjective thing. Yet to prove it was a lie there is the "innocent until proven guilty" as none of use are mind readers. You have to show they believe one thing but are saying another that they know is false.

I've seen Trump (and every other human) say things that turn out to be incorrect. The more they speak the odds of encountering this increase. It is incorrect. It is not a lie.

You want to talk about blatant lies take the last 3 or 4 presidents and their speeches and promises, and throw Hillary into the mix. They promise things like throwing bait for fish, and once they are elected they often do completely the opposite.

They have big flowery words and charisma and they are masters of blowing smoke up your ass. Yet they change what they say so often and their actions do not match their words. That is lying. It is the status quo.
