Plausible deniability is a politicians best friend. Its something politicians seek to maintain in all circumstances by giving vanilla statements that offer future wiggle room.
For President Trump, though, plausible deniability is a way of life. The ability to pretend he didnt actually say what he seems to have just said is something Trump has weaponized and exploited. Its something he wields against his opponents in an effort to constantly muddy the waters and rally his supporters against a common enemy.

A little slow on the uptake there are we?
Kind of proves Trump's point right there.
I'm just sayin'....
It’s Trump’s fault the media jumps to conclusions and takes his words out of context?
The real pattern
1. Media says nasty stuff about Trump and lies about him
2. Trump punches back in a tweet
3. Sissy Media cries that theyve been victimized, wah wah wah
4. Trump supporters laugh at lying wussy media
As if Hitlery Rotten Clinton wasn’t trolling when she responded “what, like with a cloth” when asked if she’d wiped her email server.
So they are smart enough to know they are being trolled but too stupid to quit taking the bait?
The Compost is really throwing down today.
I’ll bet Trump is having an Independence Day picnic.
He lives rent free in their head and I’m loving it.
What base are these networks playing to for $$$?
The dem base of malcontents, homos, lesbo’s, illegals,”intellectuals”,perverts,stupid kids,drug addicts, goc employees, teachers,etc?
mostly dumb kids i imagine.....those are the ratings these d-bag networks strive for.
“guv” employees
Like Hillary saying she learned about cattle futures by just reading the Wall Street Journal.
but Scumbag Comey sent Martha Stewart to jail for a grammar error after her false arrest, why isnt Hillary behind bars for all her crimes
