Lots and lots of people, before Trump became part of it, used "spying" and "surveillance" synonymously. And now we know that the Mirriam Webster dictionary defines they in a similar way. But on order to make Trump look like a liar, you are willing to ignore all that.
When I read my 12 year-old's text messages to make sure he's safe, am I spying on him? HELL YES. When I follow my 9 year-old as he walks to his friends house so I can make sure he stays on the sidewalk, am I spying on him? HELL YES.
You are denying the Webster definition of a word, in order to make Trump look like a liar. That's literally what you're doing.
TDS...
"would you consider a murder the same as someone convicted of manslaughter the end result is the same "
The end result isn't even close to the same. Murder is far more serious.
But if Trump said "someone murdered so-and-so", but the killer was actually convicted of manslaughter and not murder, does that make Trump a liar? You would say yes. A sane person would say no.
Take off the tin foil hat for Christs sake, and breathe some fresh air.
I understand clearly, the distinction between murder and manslaughter. I have no idea what the difference is, between secret surveillance and spying.
Orange Man Bad, that's what matters.
