I'll wager I've read more than you have, but that's not the point. Your post is just another one in the weird pattern of half of you guys saying "he didn't say what he's accused of saying", and the other half saying "he was exactly right to have said what he said."

Look, if you're right, then the type of men alive during the Founders time wouldn't have just announced another campaign for 2024. They'd have raised the flag of rebellion. Trump didn't. So he's doing this weird half-assed thing where he's arguing that we need to ignore the Constitution to put him into office, while simultaneously running a campaign for that office.

He needs to pick a lane.

I think what happened is what often happens with him - he fumbled his words through carelessness and maybe a deficiency of literacy.

He wrote that the cheating “allowed for” terminating laws and even the Constitution. (As if terminating these things is now permitted and should proceed)

But what I think he actually meant is that the cheating “amounted to” or “had the effect of” terminating the laws and the Constitution. So it’s the CHEATERS who are doing the terminating.

At least this is the generous interpretation of what he wrote - but it’s not THAT generous because it acknowledges that he’s crashingly inarticulate. So consistently inarticulate that he has worn his followers out for six years by forcing them to always be translating or explaining away his latest gaffes. Even worse, his difficulty with language has come with a huge opportunity cost - it has prevented him from effectively selling his policies even though the MAGA agenda, clearly described, ought to have been broadly popular even with rank and file Democrats

*sigh*... Really? You just HAD to go there?

He said what he said. Just as in my example of him saying "Good Morning", you are reading in to it what you want.

This says more about you than it does him.
