"What do you think they [protesters] want?" Harris Faulkner of Fox News asked the president. "What do you think they need, right now, from you?"
Here was Trump's answer, verbatim:
"Protesters for different reasons. You're protesting also because, you know, they just didn't know. I've watch - I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren't able to say, but they were there for a reason, perhaps.
"But a lot of them really were there because they're following the crowd. A lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing. What we saw was a terrible thing. And we've seen it over the years. We haven't, you know, this was one horrible example, but you've seen other terrible examples. You know that better than anybody who would know it. And I know it. I've seen it, too. I've seen it before I was president. I've seen it. I think it's a shame. I think it's a disgrace. And it's got to stop."
Edit: This quote was from 2020
I’ve heard from many people that if I just took literally what he says then I won’t get his message. That I have to look at the meaning behind the exact words that he uses.
And I’ve started doing that.
And I am even more confused than before
It’s like religion
Say some vague shit without a clear meaning. Let people fill in their interpretations of it in their mind. They feel smart for “understanding”. They confuse the dopamine rush for admiration. Congratulations they are now addicted to your bullshit
it’s like stupidity
