Typical Dem.
You don't just quote him. You take a sentence, strip away the surrounding context, and manufacture the interpretation you want people to have.
Then, when someone points out that you're deliberately leaving out context, you pretend the argument was ever about whether Trump “says what he means.”
It wasn't.
Nobody is disputing the words. They're disputing your dishonest framing of the words. You can quote someone verbatim and still misrepresent what they said. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.
Your side has mastered this bullshit because it’s the only way to manufacture your outrage. Strip away the context that explains what was actually said, isolate a convenient sentence, then pretend you’re too stupid to understand the obvious context.
You don’t want the truth. You want the clip.
MAGA: “Democrats hate Trump because he says what he means!”
Trump: “I wouldn’t care if Iran bombed Los Angeles and San Diego.”
MAGA: “That’s not what he meant!”
