Is it a lie that the president believes this? His belief doesn't make it true, nor does it mean that its been studied in depth.
It's like when prosecutors talk about court cases, they always say they believe someone is a criminal, sheer scum, and ought to be in prison for life. In fact, none of that has been proven true yet because the court is still in session. It could turn out that the prosecuter is delusional, was fed poor information, or is simply inept.
I'm referring to Saturday's statement as the lie: crowd size, magnetometers, mats, metro numbers. All false information, easily verifiable, and the very next day was called alternative facts by a member of his own team.
Tuesday, reporting what the president believes is the proper way to do it, rather than stating a bunch of falsehoods as if they are facts. So I'm considering Tuesday a Spicer recovery with residual damage of trust. The president on the other hand, proposes without evidence the are millions of criminal voters, while he's the law and order guy, who's not immediately investigating his own concern about electoral integrity. That's bat guano.
