[Ads-l] move the cheese

[Jonathan Lighter]

'Change a publicized goal or position in a deceptively self-serving, way.'

Victor Blackwell, CNN: "The President was talking about an actual wall, so
to move the cheese now seems a bit nefarious."

Cf, "move the goal posts."  The relocated cheese was a claim by Trumpist
Joseph Borelli that Mexico is already "paying for" The Wall "in the blood,
sweat and, tears" of Mexican law enforcement.
