What did I pull out of context? I agreed with and acknowledge that Trump was correct when he said “They had no choice”. But the other part of his comment was, IMO stupid and ill informed.
Has it really come down to the point when everything single thing that Trump says is absolutely correct, 100% of the time and is never to be questioned or commented on?
Does pointing out the stupid part of the comment he made about the gorilla that it “was almost like a mother holding a baby. It looked so beautiful and calm” make me Anti-Trump? If so, so be it.
Pointing out that the kid was in great danger and the gorilla needed to be shot in order to save the child’s life doesn’t make me “anti-gorilla” either except to the animal rights PETA types.
It seems we have some of those here and also some who can’t tolerate any honest criticism of He who is above all criticism.
He also said people believe we are descended from apes
He has no science
Otherwise, he was right on
“I think it’s a very tough call,” Trump said. “It was amazing because there were moments with that gorilla the way he held that child where it looks like a mother holding a baby, looked so beautiful and calm.”
“And there were moments where it looked pretty dangerous,” he continued. “I don’t think they had a choice. I mean, probably, they didn’t have a choice. You had a young child where their life was at stake. I mean, you know it’s too bad there wasn’t another way.”
He added that he thought it was “so beautiful” to watch “that powerful” gorilla interact with the child at first.
“But it just takes one second, just one second. It’s not like it’s, ‘Oh, it’s going to take place over 30 seconds from now,’” Trump continued. “It just takes one little flick of his finger and I will tell you they probably had no choice.”
THIS is the full context from which you cherry picked. This same gorilla behavior was witnessed in a previous child-in-enclosure episode years ago. The same what appeared to be tender moments occurred this time, however brief. So when put in context, there was nothing wrong with what Trump said. He made an observation and gave his opinion, to actually cover both sides of the argument. Smart indeed!
