It of course comes down to how one wants to parse Trump's statements.

No one but an utter fool would bother spending a single second parsing anything Trump says.

This board is in the mode of assuming Trump is lying and/or 100% wrong on everything he says, so in that vein, sure!

The entire world is in the mode of assuming Trump is lying and/or 100% wrong on everything he says. Are you really still excited to be one of the dwindling few nitwits still gobbling his twaddle-turds like Pez? A leader so corrupt and craven that there is no cognate in all of American history? Pedophile, predator, war criminal, fraud, fool.
Buy a vowel, dude.

But that's not a correct lens.

Thank you for straightening us out on how to view world affairs. Big BOOM BOOM BOOM so exciting! Is that how 4D chess works?

I have a question for your ilk, Stepford Scooter: do low-(as in no-)information voters not fill your gas tanks anymore? Sworn off of drinking coffee? Buying food? Perhaps you fancy yourself a budding Zuckerberg or Bezos, the petty concerns of the huddles masses beneath your notice these days? I just paid $5.14 a gallon for gas in Palm Desert, and $25 for two pounds of coffee from Costco.com.

But big prices are a small price to pay, am I right! I'm thinking that Golden Age is primed to start in three...two...one...

I love that you're still happy, or pretending to be happy, about living in the New American Shitstorm. Maybe watch a few more bombing-porn video game ads from the official White House account and see if you still get a chubby.

Oh my word, I just realized that pointing out reality to you is a complete waste of time. It's not because we disagree on what we're seeing. It's because you are never going to convince the rest of us to be stupid.
