Yeah, especially because he contradicted himself several times, it doesn't seem like he believed it. He's really committed to trolling.
Saying two different things at two different times is not prima face evidence of lying. For instance: changing your mind is not lying.
Again, I find it ironic that you're using the same conspiratorial line of thinking that Jones himself does: e.g. "The CDC has changed their mask guidance so they must be lying about it"
Labeling someone a "troll" for that level of evil feels enabling to me.
