Take him seriously but not literally right?
quote:
President Trump boasted in a fundraising speech Wednesday that he made up information in a meeting with the leader of a top U.S. ally, saying he insisted to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the United States runs a trade deficit with its neighbor to the north without knowing whether that was the case.
“Trudeau came to see me. He’s a good guy, Justin. He said, ‘No, no, we have no trade deficit with you, we have none. Donald, please,’ ” Trump said, mimicking Trudeau, according to audio of the private event in Missouri obtained by The Washington Post. “Nice guy, good-looking guy, comes in — ‘Donald, we have no trade deficit.’ He’s very proud because everybody else, you know, we’re getting killed.
“ ... So, he’s proud. I said, ‘Wrong, Justin, you do.’ I didn’t even know. ... I had no idea. I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’ You know why? Because we’re so stupid. … And I thought they were smart. I said, ‘You’re wrong, Justin.’ He said, ‘Nope, we have no trade deficit.’ I said, ‘Well, in that case, I feel differently,’ I said, ‘but I don’t believe it.’ I sent one of our guys out, his guy, my guy, they went out, I said, ‘Check, because I can’t believe it.’
‘Well, sir, you’re actually right. We have no deficit, but that doesn’t include energy and timber. … And when you do, we lose $17 billion a year.’ It’s incredible.”

Love Trump - there’s nothing wrong with this my boss does this kind of stuff all the time with our clients.
It endears them to him when he brings it up later - a fun relationship building story

I don't think you are reading that correctly.

Take his literalness with absolute questionable assuredness and never doubt his earnest thoughts on those things he usually believes.

As if THAT matters to him...

I'm reading it as Trump made something up (which he admitted in the speech), then told his people to look into it. That person tried to do a lazy math spin to try to make it true.

I see people in here aren't actually defending what he said. That says about all we need to know.

When you make a big deal out of everything....nothing is a bid deal. Slow down. You are spinning your wheels
ETA. You misread or don't understand what happened. It is literally nothing. He said he thought Justin was wrong so he asked someone to check. And when you include timber....trump was right. This kind of fake news is so commonplace. You guys are pathetic.

Oh, we're just getting started. The bar WILL get lowered.
If there are texts and God forbid sexts/videos of Trump with Stormy, this place will go full on Infowars on how they will come up w/ conspiracies.

So he thought we had a trade deficit and when including lumber and energy we actually do? Wow. What’s dishonest is how dumb shite like this gets framed.

It really is insane how obsessed you little snowflakes are over every thing Trump says.
And, FWIW, you're title is incredibly misleading compared to what you quoted. Get a grip man. Go outside every once in awhile. Get some sun. The Trump boogeyman isn't going to get you.

I mean this quote right here. I don't see what is wrong with this, but i also don't wet my pants every night over what politicians say.
