What exactly is your point?
I made mine in my post already, and all I got from you was something like "that is not what Trump said".
Point out what in my post that is erroneous.
Here it is again in its entirety.
I take issue with the "some". That's not what he said. It might have been what he meant, but I'm not going to try to guess what he meant, I'm going to go by what he actually said.
"Saved 16,000 people, many of them in Texas, for whatever reason that is. People went out in their boats to watch the hurricane. That didn’t work out too well. That didn’t work out too well."
So let's break down what he said:
Saved 16,000 people last year, Many of them in Texas, Agreed, looks like there were about 14,000 rescues just in Texas.
for whatever reason that is. As though he doesn't understand why the bulk of rescues were in Texas.
People went out in their boats to watch the hurricane. He didn't say "Some of those people", he said "People", just prior to indicating he didn't understand why there were 14,000 rescues in Texas.
That didn’t work out too well. That didn’t work out too well. If he didn't mean what he said he should think about what he's saying before he says it.
Someone suggested previously that the sentence structure was more like: Saved 16,000 people last year, many of them in Texas. For whatever reason that is, people went out in their boats to watch the hurricane. That didn't work out to well.
But that does not make sense. Any one of us would say "For whatever reason, people went out in their boats to watch the hurricane." They wouldn't add the "that is".
Put the whole statement together and I can understand why Texans would be annoyed with the way what Trump actually said comes across. Add to that Coasties saying they have no data on people rescued from boats because they went out to watch the hurricane and this is just more dumb shit that Trump made up unnecessarily.
