MODERATORS
You do understand that as his legal representation, they are arguing for him, which makes their argument legally literally his argument?
Why are you complaining to me, while the Independent must have made the same mistake in your eyes?
The article is titled: "Donald Trump tells court he had no duty to ‘support’ the US Constitution". You are claiming that this is incorrect, since Trump didn't tell the court this. Why are you not complaining to the Independent?
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.
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):
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?
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.
