When "Truth is NOT Truth"

Let me get this straight - since it seems to be floating all over the "news waves"......

Giuliani, the former Republican mayor of New York City who joined the Trump legal team in April, made the “truth isn’t truth” comment while appearing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press" with Chuck Todd on Sunday.

In an effort to explain why the president hasn’t sat for an interview with investigators in special counsel  Giuliani said he doesn’t want Trump to be “trapped into perjury.”

“And when you tell me that he should testify because he’s going to tell the truth and he shouldn’t worry, well that’s so silly because that’s somebody’s version of the truth, not the truth,” Giuliani said.

“Truth is truth,” Todd responded.

“No it isn’t,” Giuliani replied. “Truth isn’t truth.”

Ok, so here is the definition of the word "Truth" from the Oxford Dictionary website!
  • The quality or state of being true. 
  • the truth That which is true or in accordance with fact or reality.
  • A fact or belief that is accepted as true
"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." 
Thomas Jefferson

“Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.”
Spencer Johnson
