Any trump supporter reading this will see this thread and know that the Democrats are delusional because the full context of the quote shows that it was not to be taken seriously and within seconds Trump not only dismissed it as a joke but called that liberals would take this quote out of context and run with it.
Which is exactly what is happening. Besides giving Republicans more reasons to stick their heads in the sand, what on earth is the point of discussing this? Trump himself called out that it's just more good publicity for him.
I couldn't care less about what "any Trump supporter" may think of what I write. I'll take "any" as "the average Trump supporter," and we already know they are not the brightest, and they're not to be taken seriously about "what they think about them libs."
All I care about is that I'll make my vote count.
Correct. Not to be taken seriously - by them. But people know who that piece kf garbage is, and he was serious.
Correct. Except that it is he who conveniently says that it would be taken out of context. Lol oh Trump, so funny! What will he say next? "All jews must be exterminated- lol just kidding see the libs get all worked up"? Hilarious! Truly a 4D chess move.
In a decent scenario, such a "joke" would have been career ending.
