"Spin" is the political equivalent of lying. It tries to make any statement, no matter how absurd or outlandish, into a living breathing "momentary truth" until the recycling element known as the "press cycle" spins it again, into some other meaning. Trump's White House is not just "lying" to begin with; it then attempts to "spin" that lie into a "momentary truth" by claiming confusion, misunderstanding, or some other minor mistake. Then during the next "news cycle" it may revisit the lie (now a half-truth, corrected lie) and by sheer repetition attempt to create the post-text of a dispute truth.
Americans and people all over the world must resist the continuing lies and unheralded reinterpretations of the Trump administration. Communication cannot be dulled into labeling and false marketing. We must protest by using the truth, always. For it is the "truth that sets us free!"
