Trump speaks

Even originalism (as opposed to textualism) won’t save you. The big question there is whether the ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ clause was excluding diplomats or Indians that were part of sovereign nations or both. No one thought it applied to the half starved family that showed up from County Cork last month.

Who needs facts?

@Mik said in Trump speaks:
Facts are SO 1992. We dispensed with them when Clinton was elected. But in any event, he was as honest as she was.
Yes, I think it's clear we can blame Bill Clinton and the press for Trump being such a liar.
Who takes responsibility for his awful man-makeup and hair, Reagan?

And by the way, the community notes feature on Twitter is awesome.

I'm not too worried about that departure from facts culled from a 70 minute interview, when all he intends to do in reaction to the non-factual narrative, is to enforce the law. A generous interpretation of it is that he intends to engage in hyperbole when he thinks it'll get eyeballs and minds on an issue he would like to address.

That would be too generous I think. Maga media pushed that hard. The original authors I assume knew they were lying. But most who just heard it repeated over and over probably assumed it was true. I suspect he’s in the latter category.
