Trump lying about the popular vote is a petty subject because it does not matter. There are far more serious topics and many more egregious things Trump has done that warrant discussion that render a topic such as this petty.
The president of a country telling a blatant and baseless lie that undermines the integrity of our electoral process, and then wasting time and resources to try and validate that lie, is "not important"?
Granted, importance is subjective and will vary from person to person, so I can understand/respect that some would consider other Trump activities as more serious.
