>>11629446What a small-brained smear-merchant... describing this like its some psy-op by Trump supporters, as though they've organised with tacticians and strategists to push the new angle. They're haven't and they're not; you only have to go on /pol/ to see that this is not the "tactic" being pushed, but is something that a small handful of retarded Trump supporters might have asserted, owing to their faulty political reasoning. Reasonable Trump supporters know that 1) the comments were taken out of context to undermine Trump (as has been the norm. for American political "journalism" for almost 4 years now), and 2) he should have doubled-down on his comments but, instead, blundered and pushed the notion that the comments were made sarcastically (which everyone knows they emphatically weren't), thus demonstrating insincerity. The better line of questioning is why didn't he double down, and what does this mean for Trump supporters who voted for him overwhelmingly because of his straight-talking and cavalier attitude towards the press? Honestly, I think that it was a pure and simple capitulation owing to him being tired and a little embarrassed.
