Apparently the definition of "war" changes depending upon what our dear leader says it is. So much for "definitions."
The Republicans' accusations against Democrats of treasonous behavior were false. That isn't changing the definition of a word, that is lying. They do that a lot.
What difference does any of this make? People here are accusing Trump of betraying the country - which is true, in my opinion. Of course he won't be tried for treason no matter what he dies, but that has nothing to do with any definitions. So why the debate about "definitions?" Is that just to scold and lecture people here? Why?
