I'm not sure you can really say he exaggerates.

I can say it with comfort.

If you were to lose a quarter down a sewer while out shopping today and claimed that was a catastrophe, I would say you were exaggerating. It's not that the fact that you lost the quarter is in dispute. It's your characterization of that event that's the exaggeration.

That's not the same as losing a quarter and claiming you lost a million dollars. That's an exaggeration of the facts. The other is an exaggerated characterization of the facts.
