The problem is he has the vocabulary and grammar of a 5 year old so no one can pin anything on him because he simply doesn't use enough words for a sentence to actually mean anything. He's so stupid that interpreting a quote of his is as useful as reading tarot cards.
I don't disagree about his vocabulary.
But Trump never said that a specific aircraft carrier was heading to North Korea. Yet many people claim he stated it. Look at Delta's post where he filed it under "fact" versus "alt fact".
I said this during Obama's reign: Don't worry about the small stuff (golf, vacations, being married to a wooke, etc). Pay attention to what he does (Obamacare, $1T Stimulus, etc). We can (and should) joke about Trump the character (caricature?) but stop the mewling over the stuff that won't matter in 10 years.
I asked about this quote because it would be very damning to provoke the mentally unstable leader of North Korea. Saying we have an Armada and big bad weapons is fluff, but identifying a specific vessel would have been dangerous in many different ways.
The difference may appear subtle, and you can try to blame it on a poor vocabulary. But after constant media and public dissection almost everything Trump is getting lambasted over turns out to be much ado about nothing.
