As to the rest of what Trump said, I don't disagree but the the part above, that is something I don't and he should not have said it. It makes it sound like the gorilla was not trying to hurt the child but just might do so only by "accident".
My opinion still stands that it was first of all a stupid question for the press to ask him and it was stupid for him to give any response other than "No comment. Not relevant. Next question".
I don’t agree, and I’m often not in agreement with some of his remarks, even though I do support him and agree with many of his remarks.
I believe he handled this very well and that swing voters especially will see that.
On the one hand, he acknowledged that at times it looked the gorilla was just protecting the boy, and his whole remarks made clear that he thought it regrettable that the gorilla had to die.
Then on the other hand, he acknowledges that it truly wasn’t such a serene situation, but a dangerous one leaving the zoo no choice. I’m sure the people at the zoo appreciate his measured words.
He gave a very good description of the incident, making proper sense of it, and comes off as a refreshing voice of sanity, even of wisdom to do what’s hard but necessity, in the midst of all the insanity the media is unleashing from the “Harambe was murdered to save a stupid human child” club.
Donald said “almost”, but no matter, we have beaten this topic enough. :-)
