@pinskal and you don't see the difference?

One respects law while the others shirk them.

@jamesmarshall

The one that draws a distinction between breaking laws versus not breaking laws is showing that he cares about whether the laws were broken.

One who doesn't respect the laws doesn't care whether they break them or not.

@pinskal

@volkris @pinskal if you mean trump, that's not what he's saying. He's saying whoever "saves his country" is above the law.

Also, even if he claimed to respect the law, he lies A LOT and is not credible, especially considering that he's now breaking many laws and violating court orders. But he doesn't care, because no one will enforce the law against him.

It's beyond a matter of legality now, it's a matter of pure force.

@jamesmarshall

The quote is right there, and no, that's not what the quote says.

@pinskal

@jamesmarshall

Wait, so are we supposed to take him at his word or not, and also by take him at his word, you want us to take him at some other words that you are putting in there, that weren't in the quote, that we are or are not supposed to be taking him at....

You see how your stance is a bit out there?

@pinskal

@volkris @pinskal no. I didn't put any words in, that's literally what he said. I don't see how you interpret it differently. It's also a signal to MAGA that if they help him then they won't be prosecuted. And if you don't realize that he's a liar who cultivates a false public image of himself, then you have a lot of catching up to do.

I'm not interested in arguing if you're not arguing in good faith.

@jamesmarshall

"He who saves his country does not violate any law" are literally not the same words as the ones you started arguing about above.

You talk about arguing in good faith when you are rewriting a quote that we can see right there on the page. Now that's an issue of bad faith argument.

I'm merely saying, let's not rewrite history when we discuss what Trump is saying. That's not a high bar for argument.
