Lies are a broad category. If you mean overpromising / huge signature campaign promises, let's look at some of DJT's many, many promises. On healthcare and budgetary concerns, you see him pulling back from promises of better/cheaper healthcare, not trying to cut medicare/medicaid. Even on immigration and trade, he's walked a tough line but it's hard to say if he's really kept any of those promises. Do I blame him for that lack of delivery, were those promises lies? Well, he had GOP majority in 3 different branches and it didn't happen. He was a great campaigner for various reasons, however he has not effectively governed and delivered on promises, which his opponents would say is highly predictable. Is it then on his voters, they chose this politician who hasn't delivered? Is it their responsibility for not predicting the lack of progress he has made on even his own signature issues? Another theory is that candidates simply signal their stances/worldview/personality, and big/bold proposers like DJT and Obama are generally much more likely to get votes than incrementalists like HRC. Then, when it comes to real decisions, the bold promise-type politicians are practical and try to compromise to move towards their previous promises.
