... oh wait.
Here, let me quote the rest of my post for you, since you either stopped reading there or failed to understand the rest of it. You should try again though since it's the important part:
Quote:
It doesn't matter that these things are likely true, you shouldn't need to deceptively edit what looks completely normal in context to make that point. The fact that there are other examples is all the more reason not to highlight this interaction as evidence of anything.
Although, if that was some kind of 2nd level attempt to highlight my point, well played, but since I doubt you're capable of thinking that deep, let me explain it to you: By cutting my quote you've done exactly what the video editor has done. I made a perfectly valid and correct argument that taking things out of context in order to make a point - a point which would not make any sense given full context - will just lead to people looking stupid if/when the full context is revealed. You described a completely different event in which Trump has shown distrust and abuse towards his wife. That sounds like a great argument if I had stopped at saying I have an issue with that narrative. But you conveniently cut out the part where I said my issue was that there are better examples to use as evidence of that narrative. In that context you've only strengthened my point and made yourself look like an idiot. Similarly, people who spread this video around as evidence of anything will look like idiots to anyone who watches it in full context.
