I was watching the debate with several progressives. When they say he lies, they mean when he says stuff like "we had the best economy ever".

Obviously the economy in 2019 wasn't the "best ever", but it was a stellar economy compared to now. Trump's supporters take him seriously and not literally, while his detractors take him literally but not seriously.

This allows them to say the next day with their "fact checkers" that Trump lied a hundred times during the debate, even though these "lies" were just slight exaggerations.
