So is your position, "I support him even though I don't believe he means the things he says in very clear language to millions of listeners"?
Isn't that an ethically precarious position to place yourself in? Best case scenario, you support lying to other Americans.  Worst case, he does mean it, and invites disaster on us by pursuing the impossible.

Going pretty far afield from the main topic. I doubt the remains are phony. As Gettin'... pointed out, it would be incredibly stupid for North Korea to ship fraudulent remains.

To answer your off-topic question, I don't support lies unless they are necessary for national security. But every POTUS lies. Unlike Obama, Trump's lies (most are just ignorant errors or hyperbole and not actual lies) have been mostly about fringe matters, not about policy. Claiming the largest inauguration crowd is a lie that makes no difference. Claiming "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" or that the Benghazi attack was caused by a video makes a lot of difference.
