to say he's a liar so it's really not trolling if it's ridiculed and called lies.

A year ago ihe was given the benefit of the doubt that he was maybe trolling, but since then the media has lost it's reluctance to call him out. They no longer call what he does untruths or inaccuracies, they call him a liar now.

Everyone knows the 10-15 million vote foolishness was a straight out lie, not a troll.
