I'm wearing a wig, but I'm not bald~

"I failed the exam, but I am still a lawyer" - Absurd explanation from White House spokesperson / YTN






[Today's White House Press Conference]
Reporter: "Isn't this corruption allegation related to the family of the Greek Ambassador who resigned?"
Trump: "It's true she was dating my son, but they broke up, so it's not a family corruption issue!"
Reporter: "There is no record of the new White House spokesperson being a lawyer; are they actually a lawyer?
Spokesperson: It's true that saying I obtained it in China was a lie, but anyway, I have provided legal counsel, and even though I failed the bar exam, I am still a lawyer anyway!" (What does passing the exam even matter? <= This was actually said lol)
How is "I'm wearing a wig but I'm not bald" any different from "I falsely recorded 20,000 hours of volunteer work, but it's not illegal"? Good grief..
