As long as his actions on policy are conservative, I don’t care how he plays the media with his comments, whether intentional, exaggerated, or simply part of his speech pattern.

That's fine, but then say that.  Not some nonsense about this being "fake news" because the article obviously is pasting quotes together that don't belong.


Not speaking for anyone else, I never said anything about a doctored video.

The headline and tone of the story is enough to make my point. The media have an agenda, a mission. Make up breathless headlines, leave an impression, then move on. The doubt is set.

No, you just claimed the article was wrong because they had pasted together quotes that Trump hadn't said.

Saying it's been doctored, or you don't understand is much easier than trying to absorb and make sense of what he's saying.

Truth.

That's not what happens at all, but you go on with your bad self.  I'm enjoying *your* gyrations on trying to explain why he didn't say what he said.  He didn't "misspeak", he was just making shit up.  Hilarious.  Again, this is why Trump supporters here get so much shit about being "AlwaysTrump". 

PS  I love that this is my fault

@RoosGirl
Never said he didn't misspeak.   I said people misspeak all the time.

That's a temple menorah. The type used in at home would have nine lamps so, as they say in Flatbush, she's two lamps short of a menorah.

You forget, I understand Trumpese. You on the other hand, simply go after him with an agenda, which coincidentally mirrors the media’s.

Get the flock out of here. Roos is one of the hardest of the hard core Trumpists on the forum. She has no agenda. She is just setting the record straight.

No no, you misunderstand me!  My life is defined by relishing the explanations from ATs on how Trump didn't do what he actually just did, whatever that thing may be.

Thank you for defending me.  I even said upthread "Trump is God."  How much clearer could I be?

He really should be more careful.  No reason to piss off those who don't need to be pissed off.  Hurricane Harvey was a record setting storm, both in terms of rainfall and damage done.  Texans and our neighbors in Louisiana reacted magnificently and did a great job of rescuing, cleaning up and rebuilding.  We don't need anyone going off half cocked and saying stupid and untrue stuff.

dd... roos is making a valid observation.  I believe it despite attempts to deflect it.  President Trump often speaks in a disjointed, simple and poorly constructed style.  It was especially so at the FEMA session.   It is plainly and honestly true.

I read the story. The quote was treated as a run-on sentence in the deceitful headline.

First sentence: “They saved 16,000 people, many of them in Texas, for whatever reason that is," Trump said of the Coast Guard.” [period].

Next sentence: "People went out in their boats to watch the hurricane. That didn't work out too well."

First sentence was probably an exaggeration (though we don’t know what figures he was privy to and was using).

The second sentence was not subordinate to the first, it was a second thought, an anecdote. In Trump’s way of speaking the two weren’t connected.

But that's not the point, y'all Texans are some dumbasses who had to be rescued by the government.

Such B.S.! In case you missed it, Texans got out there by the 1000s to help other Texans. Louisianans pitched in as well ... and Texans returned the favor. My cousin was one 100s that used their own boats to go out daily in the Houston area helping survivors.

Yeah, well you wouldn't have had to gone out and saved people if you didn't build a city in a swamp.

Sure he does.  What I can't figure out is why people still get in a tizzy over it.

Seriously

They've found organic compounds on Mars but people would rather talk about Trump misspeaking, something he does just about every day.

But, but but, @RoosGirl I thought you're purpose in life was to piss off @Frank Cannon at least once

Bullshit.  Did you watch the video?  I did.  They're not disjointed quotes at all.  It's exactly what he said.  It just seems disjointed because he speaks like a fool.

The problem really wasn't that he said something wrong (again). The problem was he said something wrong, we were kinda discussing what was the wrong part of it, and then big mouth tries telling us the article made it all up, things were taken out of context, sentences were added out of order, I'm picking on Trump, you name it.

Can't.  Arizona tried that, and the Ninth Circus threw it out (SCOTUS refused to hear the case).
