Another one of your "close enough" slippery tricks. What Trump said was obvious hyperbole and obviously not true. If he unjustly shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, he would certainly lose support. And he would certainly be charged by eager DA's and publicly scorned not only by CNN but Fox as well. And by most, probably all, Republican politicians.

And Trump has said many things that are true. Which, of course, you would somehow discount as not being actually true, or mostly not true, but some sneaky, ego driven dribble that accidentally had some remote connection to some weak and not to be trusted, politically driven but truthful appearing spin. Sort of like a lot of the stuff you say.

For you, Trump is simply, and completely, a liar. But when he says something that is blatantly false, and actually hyperbolic "spin," and you can use it to make some damning accusation about him or his supporters, you jump all over it as the truest thing he ever said. Of course, that is consistent. Since for you, he being purely a liar, you're actually confirming your bias by sarcastically calling something that is not true the truest thing he ever said.

Your phony spin attempts to be a perfect rhetorical trick which closely elides, seemingly close enough, Trump's hyperbole with what you perceive to be a loyalty to Trump no matter how depraved, even to the point of flagrant, shameless murder, his actions may be.

This ranks right up there with some of the slimiest things you ever said.
