Telling an untruth and telling an outright lie

Trump did both on the NBC evening news. He said that inflation was down, way down. I hadn't noticed and neither will you. Just like Biden before him, he uses the fact that the RATE of inflation (how fast prices are rising) is slower than predicted. No prices have come down. Commenting on the firing of career Department of Education employees, Trump said, "I feel sorry for them but many of them weren't coming to work anyway." Liar.
