no one said he "Misspeak's"(well, you just did)....in fact it's pretty widely acknowledged that he's loose with the truth and facts to the point where it can be pretty amusing when he gets on a roll, the degree to which it's willful and sinister is debatable.....in most cases I suspect what you perceive as is "lie" is rather simply, and nothing more, the fact that he has a differing view and perspective than you may hold on a given subjects, what you perceive as a "lie" by Trump is actually your inability to view the world through the prism through which he looking...probably the result of your lack of tolerance of differing viewpoints and a closed-minded inability to grasp the world outside your bubble.........so it's not really Trump....it's you...
