    It's damn near impossible to have a discussion with ipaman. He's "always right," and "you're a fool" if you don't agree with him. What's the point of trying?

    actually i don't you read OPs and mine. again, nobody should be talking or trying to pretend we're talking about real policy here like OP and you are doing. trump isn't doing it, he's pandering for applause from a friendly crowd.

    It's impossible for you all because you all ignore and go off on tangents. Just like your fixation on everything but svg words. So what's the point of discussing with you?

    This use of ambiguity in speech is a common tool employed by most bullies and douchebags. Just say some over the top bullsh*t, something terribly rude or offensive, something terribly stupid/arrogant, and if you have enough supporters and enablers around you, you create a win-win. If you're called out, just shrug and respond "just kidding! Sheesh" and your bros back you up. If no one calls you out, you just got away with verbally kicking them in the nuts and your bros high five you.

    The constant use of half-serious, ambiguous speech is a manipulative tool that over time, allows your friends and supporters to only ever project their most favorable interpretation on you, while at the same time you self-aggrandize and piss all over your opponents, and your enablers love you for it.

    The use of weaponized nuclear trolling (as also practiced by Duterte) is a powerful political tool, being employed in ways never before seen in the US. If you respond, you empower the troll with attention. If you don't respond, you're silently assenting and giving them free reign. Once they've gained power and enough enablers, there's no good response.

    Great point and I agree although I wouldn't credit Trump with understanding it at that level. He's not a social engineering master, he's just a scared, bully imo.

    So apparently Trump stopped a mugging in 1991. How many of you peasants can say you stopped someone from getting brutally assaulted and then gone on to become the president? none

    Donald Trump on what it means to be a help

    "So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red. And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away. Oh my God! This is terrible! This is disgusting! and you know, they’re turning away. Nobody wants to help the guy. His wife is screaming—she’s sitting right next to him, and she’s screaming.”

    He is the President of the United States, not a comedian.

    Then again this what we get for electing an unqualified immoral sack of **** for President.

    He didn’t read it or comprehend it. He goes off on tangents and remolds opinions other than his own and argues with straw men. If completely cornered he begins remolding his own opinions. Just his thing. You can continue trying to debate him, call him an idiot and cringe at his posts or block him.

    Shocked that ipaman is here defending, but not defending at all according to him, the guy he never would ever never ever vote for. Yet again. If pgabs knew this was going on, he'd be here to have his back.
