I think what you meant is probably that Trump says things that lead people to be mislead on the things that actually matter (as judged by you) and that he’s not actually a great example of saying the “truest” things, in this strange but important sense.
I don’t think the issue of whether or not Trump was invited by Last Week Tonight is an issue that “actually matters”.
But lets go to an issue that matters. “Do vaccines cause autism” It’s factually wrong but I also think that a majority of Trump followers don’t. The demographics of vaccine denailism is not equivalent with Trumps supporters.
If you take a Trump belief like “exercise is bad for your health” it’s even more clear. That’s not the kind of lie that someone who simply wants to do persuasion tells.
It’s also a very strange lie to tell for a person who learned their persuasion skills from Tony Robbins.
I’m not sure I follow all the details of what you’re saying, but it seems like your main point is along the lines of “That’s no the kind of lie that someone who simply wants to do persuasion tells”, and with that I completely agree.

That seems to be a reasonable reading and I think we are in agreement.
