An example of Trump's thoughts' racing ahead was his response to Wallace, during the debate, when Wallace asked Trump (the loaded question): "Do you disavow racism and white supremacy?"
Trump replied: "Sure."
Wallace asked again.
Again Trump replied: "Sure," but, having answered satisfactorily, in his opinion, his thoughts had already raced ahead to another idea, and his replies--"Sure"--were soft spoken. A politician would have shouted the answers: "SURE! or "YES! I DISAVOW RACISM AND WHITE SUPREMITY!" which would have made an effective soundbite, but Trump, being an honest man and assuming honesty in others, and not thinking in terms of soundbites, believed his responses to have made his position clear.
Trump's dishonest and dishonourable (but I repeat myself) enemies intentionally ignored his responses--"Sure"--and, lying intentionally, claimed that he refused to disavow these things, though he obviously had done so.
His thoughts had raced ahead to a condemnation of those rioting and destroying American cities--something right and correct for him to do.
Trump's enemies twist his words, ignore the truth of what he says, to serve their own iniquitous purposes.
These lines come to mind:
Many knaves and fools are abroad in America today. Pray that they be outvoted in the November 3d election.
“Watters is cool headed, logical, and reminiscent of Bill O’Reilly.“
Waters is cool headed, logical, and has nothing whatsoever in common with that over-rated pompous ass, Bill O’Reilly.
Yes. That's right.
I think he assumes, as part of this, that other people are smart enough to understand the value of truth and honesty, and he finds it bewildering when the don't.
When he stops to focus on the minutiae, he realises that they don't and that he's way ahead of them intellectually and also in truthfulness and benevolence. He then understands, and his understanding is why he's capable of eluding their iniquities so adroitly.
They attribute his adroitness to "luck" and dismiss his benevolence and intelligence without explanation, because it serves their shameful interests to do so, but the honest, intelligent observer recognises the towering intelligence, benevolence, and fundamental morality of this heroic man and can only admire and respect him, to the utter dismay of those who do not.
I usually agreed with O'Reilly and thought he laid out strong arguments, but he always came across as an arrogant asshole.
Water’s opening statement on his weekend show was fabulous. Even Newt stopped and complimented Waters.
Anyone have a link?
Even Newt complimented him on it. Spot on...
That was excellent summary
