    I hate defending Trump, but

    Then don’t. You aren’t obligated to defend him.

    I disagree with his sentiment. Higher turn over on the Supreme Court is part of the proposed Supreme Court reform.

    Defending him because “nuance” is stupid, he doesn’t have any, why project it on him? What has he done to earn it? This is how narcissists maneuver – people’s eagerness to see their good side; it doesn’t exist for the narcissists.

      This is like that “sanewashing” thing. “What he means is this…” no. No need to do him any favors.

        But it’s not even that. He said what he meant and then the chucklefucks looking for clicks went on with the “BuT HeS oLd ToO! HuR dUr, HoW dUmB!” when it’s not the same comparison at all.

        I guess I’m just sick of all large media outlets lately.

          I’m just happy to see users calling out these bullshit articles taking shit outta context. I don’t have a ton of time to read the news. So I prefer my brief overviews of titles to be factual and contextual to what the authors implying. Which it’s the independent so already knew it was probs bs.

      Just because he’s an asshole doesn’t make what he said wrong. I’m more angry at “the media” for trying to make something out of nothing for clicks. Their comparison is stupid.

      Then what you want is term limits.

      I don’t like Trump, but I get his point. It’s the same argument he makes about taxing the rich. Guess who has the power to fix that, too?

      People in power rarely make laws to limit themselves.

        “His point” makes it sound like he’s thought about it. I guarantee you he has not. This is a talking point he was reminded of five minutes before the planted question was asked and he almost blew that.

        Seriously, he’s demented. His only thoughts revolve around him and his money - that’s it.
