    Right, you might say that if you knew the person, and knew they traveled to get to you. But would you exchange those pleasantries with someone you just met, over a court-mandated video call?

    Trump is excellent at this, saying innocuous things that are really signaling phrases to his people that the rest of us aren’t in on. We didn’t really know what “Stand back and stand by” meant at the time, but we do now.

      You are generally right, but “Stand back and stand by” was pretty fucking blatant, and nobody who wasn’t searching for a reason it wasn’t an issue ‘misunderstood’ the message.
