    nitpick here but there already are terms for saying something that’s not true (whether the speaker believes it or not) - one is “lie” and the other is “untruth”. There was never the need to create a new word for it. I’m not saying language shouldn’t progress. But in this case, coining a special term for jus Trump gave him too much power in our collective consciences than was necessary.
