Part of White House demolished for ballroom, contradicting Trump’s past statements

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure.

1. It was easier for the Fonz to say

“I was wrong”

2. They've used every synonym in the thesaurus for lying, new ones will have to be created.

In future editions "trump" should become synonymous with "lie."

3. You're showing your bias! What he said then was the truth then, and what he says now is the truth now!

Calling him a liar is fake nooz!

And unpatriotic! Where's ice when you need them!

4. Apparently they have decided "immigration crackdown" is how to describe aggravated assault

5. My guess is that lying/liar/lie is not used because it implies awareness of malicious intent.

When he says something, you can make a case that he simply has no idea what he is talking about because he is such a dumb ass. He doesn’t know what he is saying is not true so there is no intent to lie. I’ll leave it to each person to decide if he’s lying or is just ignorant. I suppose it could be both.
