| Jul 31 at 20:45 | comment | added | jpmc26 | When he dared to emphasize that it's not as big a source of political violence as the far left (he specifically said "anti-fa," but it's reasonable to believe he was being imprecise) after condemning, they lied and said he would not condemn it. So he tried, and no one would recognize it and many outright lie about it. There's no evidence that Trump likes being misrepresented, but the reality is he cannot stop it. So what more can he do but make the best of it by ridiculing it? | |
| Jul 31 at 20:42 | comment | added | jpmc26 | Trump has presumed misunderstanding before and clarified repeatedly, but people of the left wing persuasion only used it as an opportunity to continue to perpetuate the falsehood. Specifically, they accused him of supporting white supremacists. The Charlottesville "fine people" comment being a prime example of where he was explicitly misrepresented. For years, left wing media sources demanded he denounce "white supremacy," and he did on numerous occasions. But the media is still actively portraying him as affiliated with white supremacy. | |

| Jul 28 at 15:17 | comment | added | Ted Wrigley | @Mast: See: cambridge dictionary. Typo aside, it means that when you buy into something you're stuck with what you get. Think of it as the carnival barker's caveat emptor. The barker will crow and croon about all the marvelous, terrifying, magical things you'll see in the sideshow. But if you ask him what it's really like, he'll tell you to pay your five bucks and go see for yourself. And you're not getting that five bucks back… | |

| Jul 28 at 3:17 | comment | added | Italian Philosopher | You are, once again, running ahead of providing sources for your assertions. I dislike Trump probably as much as you do, but this site isn't meant to vent opinions on Trump. I, personally, think that what drives Trump over all things - way over inducing anxiety in his opponents - is getting adulation from his supporters. But I would not put that as an answer, that reeks of the pundit psychiatrists that got media time in 2016 declaring him mentally ill despite never having met him. Those are not sources I would see as welcome here. We are not a psychoanalysis site. | |
