I think pointing out false information (especially coming from a journalist) is very valid objection. What did Trump say? Do you understand him? What did Trump mean? Do you know what he means? Do you know better than his own American speaking advisors he employs to correct and add their own interpretation? The staff that he himself chooses do not understand what he says or mean because when they fail to please he sacks them in unprecedented numbers-he has sacked more than 75 senior advisors, security officials, law makers and administrators etc. that he himself appointed. You should congratulate yourself on you ability to understand what he said - luckily more and more know what he means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quibbling over nothing - and in no way renders his speech any less cretinous. You're clutching at straws - why you can't just admit that he was being crassly stupid and dangerous is beyond me. It's not. Lysol is a specific subgroup of disinfecting products. As hoover is a specific subgroup of appliances. It's like saying "some common medicine might help to fight a virus" and responding by "I had a flu, I took some laxative which is a common medicine and felt even worse!". Come on, let's not be stupid. Edited May 4, 2020 by Branyy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'M NOT going to claim that I KNOW what he meant. If someone comes with a self-interpretation of his words, I'm becoming very skeptical. Especially when they're trying to quote words which he didn't even say. Edited May 4, 2020 by Branyy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he says to the reporter “He is the President and you are fake news”which apparently entitles him to continue to spout dangerous rubbish. I believe his own explanation was that he was being sarcastic. I certainly fail to detect any sarcasm as he continued to push his medical expert on his musings.

Stupid questions like a child might ask, in public, in front of the Worlds media with simpletons watching. I don't see how it's in the least bit defensible.

Let's approach it from a different angle - would you describe his behaviour during that press briefing as befitting a President? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, probably not. But I've heard worse 🙂 (from him or even other presidents) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
