This is, bar none, the dumbest thing I've read this morning on Twitter.

His response has NOTHING to do with the sheriff's statement.

You see, when they taught us READING in school, they also taught us COMPREHENSION. Just so we don't say dumb shit, they also taught us PROSE!

Wait here; amma go get my crayons so that I can draw you a picture illustrating why 1) you're wrong 2) his comment had nothing to do with previous statement.

I'm back..let's go..

5 boxes. Each refers to a "focus" word|phrase (that's the comprehension part - pay attention)

Sheriff was talking about a specific caste of people. She even identified them that way for the simple reason that she wanted a DISTINCTION (see caste).

Trump was talking about yet another caste of people. And that he never :

1) referenced nor acknowledged (see prose) the caste in the sheriff's statement

2) said anything to indicate that he even ack'ed what she stated, but went on his own bs (see tangent)

...goes to...

...the fact that he uses "people" (FOUR TIMES!) as a qualifier to describe those he was referring to, clearly indicates that he was talking about people either (see union) within or outside the sheriff's caste.

It gets better...

If we accept "MS13" and "people" as subsets in this union, we can try something like this (math is hard, but this one is simple - trust me)

A = good people
B = bad people
C = refugees
D = MS13
E = bad hombres

Now that we've established that they are both speaking about two different castes/subsets of people, due to Trump not - once - acknowledging the sheriff's specific reference, we can conclude then that Trump went off the reservation and stuck with his usual bs.

In conclusion..

Trump has a history of attacking immigrants regardless of race, color, creed, or religion. There is precedence for that. So to infer that, in this instance, he's restricting that rhetoric to MS13, without ONCE showing ANY indication that his comments were specific, is IGNORANCE.

That he ended his rant with the same legendary bs "they come in fast, we get them, we release them" is a clear indication that he couldn't possibly be talking about MS13 because that would [stupidly] imply that only MS13 use the border as a turnstile.

His entire statement, taking as a whole by people who learned basic reading & comprehension skills and who aren't complete morons making excuses for an inexcusable demagogue, is enough evidence that he was referring to immigrants (see people) in general.

Now, most of us who have more than a few functioning brain cells, tend not to discount things just because we have personal feelings about the target or subject matter. So I am willing to consider that it's possible his flap was unintentional. But this is Trump. So.
