We all speak carelessly in our daily lives, but people who speak professionally, whose words really matter and they're going to be on camera, they practice what they're going to say in order to avoid it.

And if they make a mistake, it's very easy for them to get back on camera and correct their mistake. If they don't do that, it's usually because they don't think they made a mistake.

So I want to ask you, why do you think Trump misspoke when he doesn't?

I mean I literally said that I my belief is not that he misspoke but that we took a bit of a leap there when an easy enough explanation for the chosen words exist. I went as far as to say that I won’t rule out him just being a moron, either. I assumed I was quite clear in all of that.

Seriously, I get bummed when I hear that assassination attempts on him fail, I hate the guy as much as anyone. But I’m also not going to debase myself into jumping to conclusions like a common MAGA dipshit just because I feel like his nastiness gives me permission to lower my standards. That’s literally JD Vance type shit and I have no intention on sharing a “level” with him, either.
