Trump misquotes himself claiming fake news misquoted him (audio)

[HomerThompson]

Here we are, not even a full year in, and we're arguing about reality. Not differing opinions, but reality. It's much more dangerous than people realize.

And I probably...

It's clear as day. I've listened to it 12 times already. Including through my surround sound.

 

[Quipling]

The fact that people are claiming that it sounds at all like he said "I'd probably have a very good relationship" is laughable. Even in the WH audio, which is muffled, there's no sound between I and probably.

If you want to argue that what he meant was "I'd", have at it. But he pretty clearly doesn't say it.

Anyways, here's the next bit of the transcript.

"I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un of North Korea. I have relationships with people, I think you people are surprised.

WSJ: Just to be clear, you haven’t spoken to the North Korean leader, I mean when you say a relationship with Korea—

Mr. Trump: I don’t want to comment on it—I don’t want to comment, I’m not saying I have or I haven’t. But I just don’t—"

He's consistently talking in the present and not about hypotheticals. It's completely reasonable to argue that he meant something else and misspoke.

But stop pretending he said "I'd"

necro is right 'i probably have a very good relationship with jong un' doesn't make sense and doesn't fit .. I hear "I'd " and even if you think he didn't say I'd .. it doesn't matter .. we know what he was trying to say

 

[MicroBrew]

LOL did you fucking listen to the audio? The WSJ he say's "i'd probably have a good relationship"
I get that the sub titles did not say it, but it is what is on the audio.

Trump says he has great relationship with dudes.
Then says i'd PROBABLY have a great relationship with lil rocket man
See how he also added PROBABLY to korean dude?? He would not say I probably....only I'd probably makes sense.

It was I'd and not I, but they are very similar. Now, I did clean out my ear wax today so maybe that is your issue.

You let your butthurt cloud your judgement.



Same question to you, did you actually listen to it???

He says "I have a great relationship "

If he had said " I'd have a great relationship " , then one has to ask what would allow Trump to have a great relationship? Because " I'd have a great relationship " should be followed by " if such and such happened "

His supporters are as bad as him, lying, twisting and spinning anything he says to make him look good. Just pathetic, the degree to which his supporters stoop to deny reality!

 

[Jopious Extronimous]

It's "I'd". Even if he doesn't stick the landing on the "d", it only makes sense that he said "I'd", given how he was speaking about the relationships he has with other leaders.

"I have..."

"I have..."

"I probably have..."?


No, he said "I'd".

Would make perfect sense if he didn't end what he was saying with "I have great relationships with people". That pretty much eliminates the implication of him using 'probably'.

I honestly can hear it either way, if the d is there it's barely pronounced so it might as well not be there. The part about "probably" definitely leads me to believe he intended to say "I'd" be he immediately erases that by finishing off with "I have great relationships with people".


The real story here is the WH releasing their own audio that's different from the WSJ's. Why would they do that? Audio is audio, we're gonna hear what we're gonna hear(and it really doesn't matter either way). The only reason they do that is to erode people's trust on the most simplistic things. They don't just want people doubting sources and stories, they want people doubting what they're seeing and hearing themselves. That's scary as shit.

 

[computer fogie]

People who are positive he says "I'd" are either

1. Hard of hearing
2. So mindlessly devoted to Trump that they are actually hallucinating
3. Trolling
4. A combination of the above

There is no other possibility, guys, so please quiet your thoughts, listen to the clearer WSJ recording again, and let your sense of hearing do what it's supposed to do.

Trump transcripts are the best, man.

In this one, Trump claims he was 'the best athlete', seemingly forgets that he also ran for President in the year 2000 and generally rambles incoherently. It's highly entertaining.

 

[ultramanhyata]

Maybe we wouldn't have all this confusion over what this mush-mouthed fuck says on tape if he just used a stronger strength Polident.

It was his level of athletic achievement, in spite of the chronic, debilitating bone spurs, that make his accomplishments so impressive.

YOU GUYS, DID YOU EVEN LISTEN TO IT?! SNOWFLAKES, DUH. HE'S NOT SAYING HE HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH UN, HE'S ONLY SAYING HE COULD, DESPITE INSULTING HIM AT EVERY TURN!! TRUST ME, REANIMATOR REAGAN, YOU GUYYYYYS!!!

 

[Unknown Pleasures]

I think he just misspoke. He was probably concentrating on getting Kim Jong Un's name right and didn't pronounce "I'd" well enough.

The problem is Stupid Fuckabee Sanders has to go on the "Fake News" rant tweet over something that can hardly be considered disingenuous.

 

[Swing]

He's going to introduce hard of speaking into the American lexicon, if he hasn't already.

 

[Darkballs]

It's "I." That's made clear by how he starts the sentence in the present tense, and ends it in the present tense "I have relationships, you guys would be surprised."

I'm just amazed at how inept the WH is at tacking these little foot bullets. Just say "the president misspoke and clearly meant that he could develop a good relationship with KJU." Easy and done.

I suppose the difficulty is when Trump first tweets out his reactionary "fake news" tweet, and then you're obligated to try and craft a bullshit defense around that.

It's a deliberate strategy to discredit the media.

 

[splendica]

There should be a thread keeping track of how many threads attacking Trump JosephDredd makes per day. I think TS is Don Lemon' s Sherdog account.

 

[Magooglie]

Sounds like he forgot Moon JaeIn's name.

 

[Tekk]

Only people hearing "I'd" are the Trumpbots, but that's no surprise considering how much they love his D

 

[cincymma79]

This is it
