Mountain out of a molehill again.
But Trump needs to finally understand that when dealing with the children in the press he needs to stop taking their bait.
As a TrumpRealist, I try to analyze his actions and words fairly.
I call this one:
- 90% on the media twisting his words to make them sound much worse than they actually were.
- 10% on Trump for not being a careful speaker.
He said: “I didn’t know that. What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty.â€
By using this very clipped manner of speaking, he opens his words up for misinterpretation.
"I didn’t know that she was nasty." can be misinterpreted as meaning: "I didn’t know that she was a nasty skank." "I didn’t know that she was nasty like a skank." and so forth.
What I believe he was trying to say (and could have with a bit more effort) was: "I didn’t know that she said nasty things about me.†or, even more simply, "I didn’t know that she was being nasty.â€
It is pretty clear to me that Trump intended to convey that Markle was
being nasty (or more accurately,
had been nasty in the past).
