    How is this a defense???? It’s the worst possible interpretation of that remark (not that there’s a good one I can think of, but some are worse than others.)https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1274696321073590272 …

        I don't know if it's a defense - it's just accurate. (It's also not the worst possible interpretation - the worst would be that Trump meant it.)

        Because they can always say “It was a joke” for everything and then block any investigation so no one can discover the truth.

        The media absolutely has to normalize prince crazypants. their favorite (read: most Profitable) format is, “both sides have some thing to say.” This completely falls apart if they have to begin by acknowledging that one of the two sides is wearing their pants on their head...

        It’s purely social politics. It provides Trump supporters with a posture to adopt. That’s all they need, something to say when this comes up. They’re comfortable with not actually talking in a way where the illogic would matter.
