Well, it may be that Mexico will pay for the wall in one way or another. But much of what the president takes heat for are his off-the-cuff comments like all of us regular folk say everyday and our hearers understand to be little jokes or harmless generalizations. But if the president says such a thing, it instantly is analyzed from every possible angle as though it was testimony given in court.
Spot on.
When he made the claim that he had the largest electoral college victory since Reagan, he was obviously being sarcastic. When he was called out on the lie, he then shifted the goal posts to say it was the largest Republican electoral college victory since Reagan. When he was again shown to then claimed it was just something someone had told him. Sarcasm at its finest.
When he was at a rally, and claimed that the remains of 200 soldiers had been returned from North Korea, when the actual number was 0, it was a harmless generalization.
When he came back from the first North Korea summit, and claimed that the nuclear threat from North Korea had been removed, despite not really getting any sort of firm commitment, it was a little joke.
When he made the claim that he would "drain the swamp", yet has an extremely large number of appointees caught up in corruption, he was obviously being sarcastic (although he claimed he thought "drain the swamp" was hokey, but he kept on saying it because the crowds were eating it up).

Now
that, was sarcasm.
You can keep defending his incessant lies as sarcasm, jokes, exaggerations, and generalizations, but it's been plain to see since well before he became a candidate for President that he lies as a matter of habit.
