Maybe the answer to the question of why the President lies about things he later claims were minor item or things done in the normal course of business is because it is the only thing he actually does well.
Trump doesn't read. Trump doesn't listen to advisors. Trump doesn't actually seem to care if intelligent people don't believe him because he isn't marketing himself to intelligent people. So he just keeps repeating the same lie over and over and over. No matter how many times it is proven false and then that same lie is repeated over and over and over on places like this by propagandists like comrade GURPS.
Well we now have another way to track the lies of this President. The WaPo Fact Checker has introduced the "bottomless Pinocchio":
Meet the Bottomless Pinocchio, a new rating for a false claim repeated over and over again
A "disinformation campaign"...interesting wording as that is pretty much the goal of the sources generally quoted on somd.com.
Here is the list of claims that earn "Bottomless Pinocchios": https://www.washingtonpost.com/grap...peated-disinformation/?utm_term=.9255cf172150

Trump’s willingness to constantly repeat false claims has posed a unique challenge to fact-checkers. Most politicians quickly drop a Four-Pinocchio claim, either out of a duty to be accurate or concern that spreading false information could be politically damaging.
Not Trump. The president keeps going long after the facts are clear, in what appears to be a deliberate effort to replace the truth with his own, far more favorable, version of it. He is not merely making gaffes or misstating things, he is purposely injecting false information into the national conversation.
To accurately reflect this phenomenon, The Washington Post Fact Checker is introducing a new category — the Bottomless Pinocchio. That dubious distinction will be awarded to politicians who repeat a false claim so many times that they are, in effect, engaging in campaigns of disinformation.
