From a transcript of the Rush Limbaugh show in which Rush notes that he can totally understand alarm bells going off because it seemed as if Trump was attacking American exceptionalism. We’ve had eight years of former president Obama running down the USA as being equivalent to totalitarian dictatorships worldwide, and it’s pretty irritating to hear something from President Trump that sounds pretty close.
here’s the excerpt — and showing that it’s clear that this could be the interpretation of what Trump said
>>>> Here’s the Sky News report on the Trump-Putin dustup. Bill O’Reilly used the word “killer” while pressing Trump on whether he thought he would get along with Putin. O’Reilly said, “Putin’s a killer.” Trump said, “There’s a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What? You think our country is so innocent?” That’s what set off the fire alarms. “You think our country’s so innocent?” No. No, no, no. Don’t misunderstand. I can totally understand people reacting to that.<<<<
here’s the link. For those of you in Rio Linda, or West Palm Beach, that’s on the Internet

Moved the goalposts, dijya? LOL
Previously, it was President Trump drawing moral equivalency of America to Stalin’s Soviet Union.
When I pointed out (correctly) that this was in context to someone asking about Vladimir Putin, and not Josef Stalin, you switch up to “Trump is running down USA like Obama did.”
Ok. I get it. Changing the topic has worked to distract others in the past, for me, too.
But it doesn’t work on me.
