What is it when you lie about your educational background, get called out
on it by the press, and are forced to suspend a run for President over it,
then, years later, when you are running for President again, you repeat the
same lie?

It sure isn't "reconsider(ing) one's statements when presented with
evidence to the contrary," or "intelligent," or "mature."  I am pretty sure
it is called lying and, since he's done it at least twice, I'd call that
doubling down.

But I am pretty sure I will be told otherwise.

P.S.  It could actually be "intelligent" if he knows that the electorate
and the press have both been dumbed down over the years.
