re: #202 Renaissance_Man

Is this not a distinction without a difference?

No. It’s an important difference and why Trump is so different from all the other lying politicians. Lying politicians are generally careful about it. They shade the truth, or use turns of phrase to convey the wrong impression, and if found out they hide behind those. They are limited by their fear of exposure.

Trump is not limited by any fear of being found out. He doesn’t care if what he says is true or not. He’s not tethered to reality as liars are. This is a big difference.
