The problem with a lie, is that its not a lie if you believe it, and that it was formed based on an interpretation of the truth.
Therefore, even if caught provided you can prove that this was what you believed was the truth based on the information you had at the time, it isnt a lie.
You have to prove someone knew what they were saying was false to actually catch them lieing.
Most politicians can't lie straight in bed, let alone when they speak.
Ultimately, it's only a lie when they admit that it was one. Anything else is speculation. Is Trump any different to the others is an important question. The answer is unclear but I would say no. In some ways he is more honest than the rest, because he makes no attempt to hide behind being a decent human being like the other politicians.
Our political model needs to change. They represent the common man, but are anything but.
