If you watched it and your brain construed that Trump read from a cue card or teleprompter, you’ve got bigger problems than Trump.I watched it right on the television! So you think he made up the parts where he wasn't looking at the paper? Is that what you're saying? Okay. That would explain it. Maybe he should just read from the paper, then.Thanks for admitting you didn’t see the statement; Trump did not read from anything as he was looking straight at the reporter.Or the interviews he gave in the 24 hours afterward, in which he did not mention needing to correct a misstatement. Someone here called his performance yesterday a "hostage video" and that is what it seemed like. He was reading from the paper, clearly, so there is one minor point I'm curious about:Is the MSM really getting on Trumps case over a simple gaffe? Don't we all get our "Would Of,Could Of,Should Of" statements mixed up time to time? At least Trump went on television and corrected his gaffe, But did Obama ever go back on live TV and tell the world of how he mis-spoke during that agonizing speech where he kept on talking about this "Navy Corpse-Man"?, or what about the time Obama spoke of these "Fallen Heroes" in his audience? I don't recall Obama correcting that embarrassing statement to the world.
They are not even remotely the same thing. Mispronouncing a word is one thing, using the totally wrong word is another. Then when you take the totality of his statements on that day his lie about using the wrong word makes no sense as it does not fit with the rest of what he said.
Trump kicked off with one of his famous gaffes, saying the Queen reviewed her Honor Guard for the first time in 70 years during his visit. She has only been Queen 65 years and she reviews the Guard periodically, including during the Obamas' visit in 2011.
My question is, since Trump was reading a prepared statement, why did his aides who wrote it put in such erroneous information? Are THEY the reason he is always making boners?
Just a thought.
