    This is a valid point, and therein lies the brilliance of Trumpism—he rattles off enough inane babble, no one can remember exactly what he said at any given moment, nor can anyone be certain about what it is he meant even with on-the-record statements.

    There is no object truth with convicted felon Donald J. Trump—just relative truths where the narrowest window is blown completely out of proportion and we’re left with interpreting the exact size of said window.

    The worst part about this is that we’re left in the lurch squabbling over what is essentially word diarrhea. At this point, to most of us here, I don’t think it actually matters any more what he said—he’s a shit person spewing shit from his mouth and he has no business leading a country, let alone a business, and we agree on that.

    But the objective truth is important, partly to hold ourselves to a higher standard than convicted felon Donald J Trump, but also to clarify misinfo as much as we can for the sake of posterity.
