Hi albion,
Thanks for your response. I must say that I'm laughing to myself as I write this. You wrote:
But, isn't that exactly what you're saying, when you try to tell us that the actual literal words that he spoke out of his mouth are not the actual literal thoughts that he intended to convey? Wouldn't we then have to do some self-determination to decide what of the actual literal words that he spoke we need to change to understand that actual literal thought he was intending to convey. Further, as a leader of a nation, I would still ask, shouldn't we expect such a person, especially here in the U.S., to be smart enough to say what he means and to mean what he says?
As the President of the United States speaking of catastrophic events happening, or expected to happen, to our nation, shouldn't we expect his words to be critical to the issue? I mean really, do we want a leader who makes unimportant or ridiculous points when speaking about catastrophic events?
Personally, I don't think you've quite understood the reality of the nature of the man who sits in the big chair. He's a narcissist and so he has to make everything seem so much more important to how we view him and his handling of things. He knows there have been many cat 5 hurricanes. However, his intention is to present it to you in a way that you will say, "Oh what a great man he is. No one else could have handled this issue." Sadly, there are a lot of people that buy into what he's selling and that's why he keeps doing it. He isn't stupid, he just doesn't know all that he thinks he does. But, he knows how to present it to you so that you will think that he does.
As far as the words of the President of the United States having every nuance of every word second guessed...I'm guessing that you weren't born yesterday and that you're only choosing to 'not know' that second guessing and digging for nuanced meaning in presidential words is not some new phenomenon that has only come up in President Trump's administration. Every president has always had to deal with 'what the people heard'. The difference is that Donald Trump just gives them so much material to work with. Previous presidents haven't used social media to interact with the citizenry and sent out non-sensical diatribes 15 times a day.
I know I've said it before and I'll say it as long as it needs repeating, President Trump is his own worst enemy. It is better for a fool to keep his mouth shut than to open it and remove all doubt.
God bless,
In Christ, ted
