Trump In A China Shop: The Two Interpretations Of His Statement
Original Content | 12/6/2022 | By Laz A. Mataz

Recently, our beloved president, Donald Trump, posted this on TruthSocial:

In it, is a statement that could be interpreted one of two ways. One interpretation was sinister: ("I'd dismiss the Constitution and just become president, if I could")

The other interpretation was not only constructive, but very accurate: ("Fraus Omnia Vitiat... Fraud vitiates everything. The orchestrated fraud of Democrats in 2020, are such that all rules -- even the Constitution -- has been destroyed by them.")

Many people on our side immediately saw that he was trying to express the second interpretation. However, the left immediately jumped on the first interpretation and began excoriating him for it.

Even I, at the first glance at his post, was alarmed. Briefly after, though, I saw what he really meant. Then it occured to me that there were two possible interpretations. Why should it be possible to have two interpretations of his statement?

The leftist media will take his statement and feed it to the masses of leftist zombies, further cementing in their mind that a re-elected Trump would be a tyrant, and that January 6th was an actual attempt to execute a coup. People who feel that way are extremely dangerous, and will commit acts of violence to stop a 'coup' or a 'tyrant'.

Why should he have given our political enemies any ammunition at all? Couldn't he have been more clear, and thus removed any chance to be misinterpreted?

There is another poster here, AnotherUnixGeek who put it really well: The words of most politicians are far better than their actions. Trump is the opposite - his actions as president were overwhelmingly positive and good for the United States, while the stuff that comes out of his mouth and out of his typing fingers can be cringe-inducing.

I love President Trump's actions as president! He was amazing in just about every way, doing so well that I feel his performance exceeded Ronald Reagans.

What we loved about Donald Trump in 2016, was his bold and combative style. He took it right to the Enemedia. He allowed NOTHING they said to go unchallenged. It was refreshing and energizing, and in the end, it made him president.

However, after six long years of the Enemedia twisting what he said -- even when he was very clear -- I would expect the man to be much more articulate and careful. I'd expect him to re-read every post, trying to predict how he'd be misquoted or misinterpreted. There is absolutely no reason he should have stepped into this one.

On the other hand, Jim Robinson had a good take on it: Trump would not be the man we all know and love if he has to run everything he says through a committee or a focus group —like RINOs do. Trump is fine. Let Trump be Trump as he fights the media and the leftists. Results are what counts.

And let's remember, one of us became President of the United States, and the other one of us (myself) is writing an editorial on Free Republic.

It’s not because they “stole” it from him or because a few voting machines go down for a few minutes in a couple counties.

Oh, is that what happened? Never mind then.

The first statement brought more attention the election fraud, just as the second statement did. It’s a wakeup call

Truth be told we are no longer in a Democratic Republic, but a Communist/Fascist Dictatorship.

I think Trump is very careful. I believe he articulates this way on purpose and that purpose is to bring what coverage he can, to his ideas.

The Rats and their pet monkeys in the media hate him, and all free Americans. They wouldn’t give him the time of day if they could help it, so he pulls their chain.

The presstitutes would like him to sound like Pence - and he would never get coverage at all.


Bingo. He knows they will parse/twist his statements. To me this is all a longer range plan to expose things over a 2 year period rather than the normal several months before a primary or election.

So true. How can The governor of Georgia win by 25, but the senate candidate lose.

I for one don’t think the Georgia voters are that sophisticated to see that the danger to their livelihoods is at the Federal level, and look at what their rep returned to them.

As far as I know Warnock delivered nothing but votes to support the decline of everyday living due to the Biden Regimes policies....

President Trump needs to say what he means and mean what he says.

What he wrote was not clear, or else there would not be the disagreement there is between people on FR.

This is exactly right, Empire of Liberty!

Trump is forever offering raw meat to the sharks -- to stir up the animals. Trump's plan to be out there and capture lots of attention.

Trump is the supreme publicist and a publicist's creed is:
