    Mexico just might want to build that wall, on their side, to keep the dirty infected Americans out. Never underestimate Trump’s genius and determination to get that wall built! Mexico does not want to pay for the wall, after being asked nicely? 50+K dead Americans is not too large a sacrifice to get the deal done. Art of the Deal, baby. Art of the Deal.

    Yes I am aware. I was responding to Dachuda who said that Trump was quoted out of context. I pointed out how Trump isn’t even using that excuse anymore. He told me that I need to learn to think for myself and I replied with the post you quoted.

    The whole point is that Dachuda is trying to make an excuse for Trump that Trump himself doesn’t even believe. They (the White House) realized how dumb it was to say he was quoted out of context and tried to switch to “he was being sarcastic.” Of course that is even more ridiculous because, as you said, he was being dead serious.

    Did I ever say I could not see the harm in the presidents claim?

    Can you show where I did that?

    My only point is to curtail trying to tie every negative thing that happens to Trump because it starts being white noise and people start ignoring the important stuff because there is too much.

    IMO this increase in calls is small potatoes in the big scheme of things because we don't know the actual numbers and we don't know how many were just crank calls, and yes crank calls can be a simple explanation as well.

    You can miss me with all of this neutral talk just because I am not willing to pile o with every negative does not mean I am neutral on Trump, my thoughts on him should be well known by my posting history.

    Have I ever said anything different?

    What in any of my post would make you think I am absolving Trump of what he said?

    Watching Trump supporters defend their man is like watching an abused wife explain to friends and family that her husband is just misunderstood and is completely different when no one else is around.

    "He was being sarcastic!"

    "You just don't get him like I do!"

    "He's NOT ALWAYS like this. He has his good side too!"

    "He works so hard, it's okay that he cheats a little and gets his. Everybody does it!"

    "Instead of criticizing my man, maybe you should get your household in order!"

    Nailed it. I had never thought of it, but it is definitely a psychologically abusive relationship he has with his followers (and really anyone forced to spend any time listening to him, which is sadly most of America).

    I forgot to mention the gaslighting which is yet another symptom of an abusive relationship. Also being convinced by your abuser that they're the only one's that can help you and that no one else can. There's no such thing as a good Democrat and any GOP that opposes him is just a fake hack. Only Trump can help you. :rolleyes:o_O

    Read the article for any indication that the calls were genuine cases, but there's none. Many of them are probably prank calls.

    I guess my point being: while what Trump did was irresponsible, resist the temptation (if you felt any) to point out Poison Control calls as an accurate data point for how seriously dumbasses in America took his suggestion. The inference the news article would like you to take is that there are some gullible enough to drink bleach, but there actually isn't any very good reason to think the calls the paper reported on were in earnest.

    Well someone did die from eating aquarium cleaner because he thought it was the same stuff Trump was peddling as a game changer so I don’t think we should make too many positive assumptions about what some of his supporters might or might not do.
