“You are using a one line definition of gambling”
And you’re dismissing a literal dictionary definition of gambling to make up your own. I’m going to go with the dictionary definition over whatever cope is going on in your head.
Things have to exist OUTSIDE your head, or they’re an hallucination.
“Here’s how to know Trump’s not a gambler- he hasn’t risked more than he can afford.”
This is called the no true scotsman fallacy. In order to be a gambler, one MUST risk more than they can afford.
You have thrown out the dictionary and even basic logic to declare that gambling is betting more than you can afford. Plenty of gamblers manage risk carefully.
-no made up examples (hallucinations) will change the dictionary definition that gives us the standard meaning.
-no listing of books Trump wrote decades ago will change that either.
Whatever. TDS is one of those things
It’s like the Taylor Swift wedding that will get shoved at us for the next 6 months
As I said, I was not directing my comments at you
I think you are being disingenuous.
A quick stroll through a few dictionaries comes up with a myriad of definitions for gambler some of which are simply one who gambles, some of which add in the concept of high risk.
Words are neither able to be redefined on the fly nor hard and fast; they have shades of nuance as illustrated by differences in different dictionaries.
