Why does Trump lie when there is no need. He made a ridiculous claim that he signed the most bills of any President. It is not close to the truth.
He has plenty to tout with the passing of tax reform, judges appointed, regulations reduced through executive order and more.
Why does he continually lie?
He is inaccurate when he states things.
When he was trying to say how big his win was,
this was "figurative" in what it meant to the nation,
but he misstated it in terms of the margin which wasn't actually the biggest.
When he talks about the importance and significance of the
bills he is signing to reduce govt more than others before him,
that's not the "number" of bills, but that's how he stated it.
Even his "wall" is symbolic, because it's going to take much more than just building a wall. He speaks in visionary terms, so this takes a lot more interpretation to get the 'spirit' of what he means.
The lies that were the worst to me, were when he made up total garbage about Ted Cruz and his father and family. There is no "interpreting" around those things that were just plain fabricated. Looking back, he used that "fake news" to bully down Cruz in order to come out top dog in the media. He proved his willingness and ability to play the media and play the same "lying games" he blames liberals for, and getting away with it!
So this is the war Trump fights, mostly to beat the media at its own games of propaganda. He does that better (or worse) than the liberals against him.
So that game is totally separate from what its really going to take to fix the govt and country. The media politics game is just another layer thrown on top - on top of the party politics that's already thrown on top of govt and smothering it.
Like trying to understand instructions that are hard enough to decipher as is, but in addition, these are translated poorly from Chinese to English. So not only do you have to decipher the broken English, but there are still the technical instructions that have to be understood totally separate from that.
the media games that Trump is trying to twist against themselves
is just one other battle to fight on top of what we are already dealing with.
He's doing the best he can, he has the right intentions,
we'll see if it works out or if everything gets mangled in mistranslation!
