No it’s not. The headline is entirely accurate. It does not claim that he confused the character for a real person anywhere, did you actually read the article? It only reports that Trump cited a fictional character, which is 100% true. And it acknowledges that he was likely referring to one of the actors who has portrayed Hannibal Lecter on film. There’s nothing nonsensical or unreasonable about the reporting in this article. Nobody in their right mind goes around referring to Iron Man or Marty McFly as their favorite actors, now do they?
Lmao my god you’re just tripping over yourself to make excuses for Trump.
Example: saying Tom Hiddleston supports you might have people not know who that is. Saying the actor who played Loki might reach a larger audience
Your example is absolute bullshit. He didn’t say “the actor who played Hannibal Lecter” now did he? He called him Hannibal Lecter. You apologists always give yourselves away because you ignore what he actually said and start substituting it with what you wish he would’ve said instead because it sounds less stupid.
No, he didn’t. Here’s what Donald Trump said verbatim:
“I said, that’s Silence of the Lamb. You know what that is? Has anybody seen Silence of the Lambs? Hannibal Lecter, how great an actor was he? You know why I like him? Because he said on television on one of the: ‘I love Donald Trump,’ so I love him. I love him. I love him. He said that a long time ago and once he said that he was in my camp I was in his camp. I don’t care if he was the worst actor I’d say he was great to me.”
Go ahead and keep denying reality. I’m done with your pathetic attempts at gaslighting.
It is ambiguous. “Hannibal Lector, how great an actor was he?” This could mean Trump thinks the actor is called Hannibal Lector, or the “he” could refer to the guy playing Hannibal Lector, which would be Anthony Hopkins. Like a lot of stuff that comes out of Trump’s mouth, it is an inarticulate mush, with the true meaning implied rather than explicit, and not worth arguing about.
So you have the quote where he says movie, character, actor and you still either lack the comprehension for it or you feel the need to argue maliciously in order to find something wrong with Trump

You’re just using the same mental gymnastics that the Republicans use.
Yes, the headline is accurate. But Trump indeed was referring to Anthony Hopkins.
I’m well aware.
Oh. Okay.
If you’re talking to an audience it might be easier to refer to a fictional character and say the actor of it rather than say the actor’s name

Yes he did say the actor for Hannibal Lecture in Silence of the Lambs
That’s why this article is bad and the Twitter comments that they included saying he thinks a fictional character supports him are bad
What excuses are there?
No, he didn’t. Here’s what Donald Trump said verbatim:

Do better, there are lots of things he does wrong
I have a feeling boobies don’t like you
Why?
