Following Tuesday night’s resounding victory for Democrats across the country, Donald Trump came up with a long to-do list Wednesday morning that he thinks is the solution to what ails Republicans. And bizarrely, during his postelection meltdown, he claimed that Americans need ID to buy groceries.

    I’m not excusing him, I’m saying the article is stretching what he said. The narrative he’s pushing is wrong and the point he’s trying to make is painfully stupid: but making shit up isn’t a good rebuke.

      Ok my mistake I guess, because what you said sounded a lot like “Why does everyone take him seriously? He’s a moron.” Whereas he’s repeating a knowingly false claim on purpose and I don’t really see where the article is stretching what he said.

        Okay I can see how you read it that way. NP. Yes, he should be taken seriously, that’s why I tried to emphasize with ‘dangerous.’

        I’ve never heard the claim as stated in the article before. As for why I interpret it to be “stretching”, maybe this person’s reply and mine would help give context as to where I’m coming at this from.
