    Yes, those are the same thing. The person you’re replying to makes some good points, but in a word-salad way.

    They’re confusing something the president didn’t do as a non-action, but “not telling the truth” = “lying”.

    I think (hope) what they were trying to say was the common saying, something like, “Judge someone more on what they do than what they say.” For example, if a president says “protect America”, like who wouldn’t want that? But when what they “do” is deport legal, non-criminal immigrants who have valid work and school visas, that is what you should be watching.
