What's a "White Lie?" Politically?
Is it different from a "Black Lie?" Or a "Mexican Lie?" How about a "Russian Lie?" Or even a "Hillary Lie?"

What's hilarious, would be her definition of "White lies" .
funny, when I tell my wife that she doesn't look fat in that dress...........I don't have to answer to the FBI and special prosecutors and congressional hearings for my "White lies" .
I'd love to know what her definition of "White lies" is........because her "White lies" are probably gonna get her indicted for Obstruction of Justice , to the FBI.

The universal definition of a white lie is answering a question with a lie so as not to hurt someone's feelings. Hope Hicks was caught outright lying to protect Donald's criminal actions. White lies don't hold up in court.
Trump has surrounded himself with people who will back up his pathological habit of lying. Donald is on what-- his fifth communications director.
It just isn't politically correct to protect any politician who lies continually to everyone by swearing that his lies are facts, white lies or "alternative facts".

As kids, my siblings and I used the term "white lie" to mean a "harmless" fudging of the truth, as opposed to an outright full-blown lie. Technically, a lie is a lie, but I can conceive how someone working for a malignant narcissistic bully sociopath might seek to "soften" the truth if that truth means criticizing the thin-skinned egomaniac.
