    No, I’m not. I could give a rats ass what the title is, the content of said article doesn’t say that. Clickbait must be a new thing for you. So for the 3rd time, can you quote TRUMP saying that? Yes or No? YOU specifically said above this was the PRESIDENT of the unitited states saying this, so where are you getting that quote? The article referenced the lawyers defense, not a direct quote of Trump.

    Also, why would I complain to the Independent? Your life may be so uneventful that you email authors of everything you disagree with and have questions about, sorry, I got more going on than that.

      Can you show me where I stated that it was a “direct quote of Trump”?

      Your life is uneventful enough to keep complaining to me, so I figured you’d do the same to the professional news organization that actually did what you accuse me of doing.

        Already did that, but OK.

        Maybe, but this goes much further. This is a president of the United States literally declaring himself not to be duty-bound to the constitution, the one document that limits their power.

        No, I don’t “keep complaining to you” I called you out on your misquoting the article, and you can’t keep your mouth shut. Feel free to do that at any time.

          Notice how that quote doesn’t say that it’s a “direct quote of Trump”? That “Trump said it”? I’m calling you out on misquoting me right now, so please follow your own advice.

              Yes, and you might notice “declare” is a different word from “say”. Merriam-Webster for example has the definition 1a):

              to make known formally, officially, or explicitly

              Trumps lawyers, as his legal representatives, made his legal position known formally, officially and explicitly. Couldn’t be a better fit. So what are you going on and on about?

                ROFLMAO, Your pedantic back pedaling knows no boundaries… You know what you said, you know what you meant. This is over.

                • Of course he knows what he said. He was able to explain it to you using a dictionary… which means you don’t even understand English let alone what you’re talking about.
