Joking? Sarcasm? The fake news? What are we to believe from this man? Nothing?

That he has the ethical intuitions of a snake.

Your problem is that you are taking him literally but not seriously.

Stephanie Grisham:

In an interview with the Washington Post published Wednesday, the press-shy press secretary admitted that Trump has a “blunt way of speaking.”

But does he ever lie?

“No,” she responds without hesitation. “I don’t think they’re lies . . . I think the president communicates in a way that some people, especially the media, aren’t necessarily comfortable with. A lot of times they take him so literally. I know people will roll their eyes if I say he was just kidding or was speaking in hypotheticals, but sometimes he is. What I’ve learned about him is that he loves this country and he’s not going to lie to this country.”

In the matter of four sentences, Grisham provides four explanations for Trump’s tendency to not tell the truth. None of them are that he’s lying. Instead, she says, he’s using a communication style that the media is uncomfortable with. He’s speaking figuratively. He’s joking. He’s speaking in hypotheticals.

The “Chosen Ones” jokes always seem to be a a result of a similar failed delivery and of a self serving nature.

I wonder why.

I wonder which one he was doing when he said Melania had gotten to know his NK buddy?

Maybe he got Ivanka, who was at one of the meetings, and Melania, who wasn’t, confused.

Any thoughts on why?

They explained that one too. See she has gotten to know KJU through her conversations with the Donald. Because they totally talk to each other.

I keep telling you guys. He exists outside the bounds of true and false. He simply transcends the concept of lying.

It is a good thing you don’t understand. It means you haven’t been caught up with a malignant narcissist before.

That’s basically what Stephanie is saying too. Because he’s a patriot solely motivated by his love for American, his statements have a bigger truth, and it’s petty to just judge the statements at face value.
