What if Trump attacked opponents based on their race? Would you argue that he wasn't racist, he just attacks the traits of those who criticize him?

Being non-white isnt a trait that serves as an angle of attack in and off itself, not the way being perceived as "weak" or ineffectual is.

It says something about his views. Plenty of material to attack McCain outside of his service, but he went there.

There's plenty of material to attack McCain from the left. But was there really plenty of material to attack McCain from the right without pissing off a significant portion of the GOP coalition?

If you had to bet, would you say Trump didn't make these reported remarks? Trump supporters seem to be slow learners... for years the critics have told you who he is, and you keep playing dumb.

And for years, the critics have made up every other attack on him out of thin air.

If I had to bet... I honestly dont know. I think the probability that he made these comments is at around 50%.

Any reason you just told a bold-face lie?

Your "contrarian" nature pretty frequently leads you to just flat out lying. Until you address that issue in your personality, nobody here should consider you an honest person.

Trump has had a few, rare, good moments, and I've given him credit.

In particular hospitals not being able to hide prices is great, and something that really should have been the case all along, and as far as I can tell it was actually done at his specific direction and not something held over from the previous administration.

*sigh*

Ok, my statement was a bit hyperbolical. The correct statement is: "Roughly every other negative story on Trump's personality or conduct was actually just a nothingburger which got blown out of proportion by a hostile press and presented like a huge scandal."
Better?

Sure, but it doesn't really matter. Trump has a new scandal every 2 days. If 50% of them are legitimate, that means he's at minimum acting like a shitbag every week. So the whole point is pretty much moot. "Oh man, why would anybody think Trump did this!" Oh right, it's totally within his character and wouldn't be the worst thing he did this month.

Tell me, would you see this as outside of his character?


Trump routinely makes politically incorrect observations about obvious stuff like african countries being shitholes, and he frequently transgresses when he's insulting someone who's wronged him- like his reciprocated, clumsy attacks on John McCain
Neither would make a lick of sense here. You'd have to believe that Trump not only chose to insult the WW1 dead for no damn reason, but that he also had no idea what world war 1 is or what side the Americans fought on
which is more than far-fetched

in the old days of credible journalism with integrity, no mainstream source would ever print an inflammatory, character attack story like this based solely on anonymous sources with zero evidence provided
nowadays its been normalized.
We've seen numerous stories like this get proven false and turn out to be complete works of fiction
We've seen some stories turn out to be confabulation, conjecture, miscommunication or exaggeration
We've seen some stories turn out to be completely true

We're given nothing more than the word of those who have zero credibility, to believe something that is not particularly believable
