      Your sentence makes 0 sense if you know these are recorded lmao. “We can’t know without the proof that exists but I haven’t looked for”.

      No wonder Trump is going to win with people like you on the other side who can’t even make a coherent point.

        Get some sleep then go back and read the first post again. The whole post, not just the first sentence.

        Then name any other politician where you wouldn’t dismiss this kind of word salad as a 4chan troll meme without confirming first. You can’t do that with Trump, it is necessary to confirm whether or not he said it by watching the video.

          I will agree that the first sentence just doesn’t make sense, and isn’t connected to the rest. Maybe you meant something like “it’s disappointing that this is so typical that people don’t even have reason to look for confirmation when with any other human we’d be skeptical by default”. As written, it just says implies there no confirmation, then starts bemoaning the quote that was said. I guess you meant that confirmation would be a way to know, but to raise that question implies generally skepticism about confirmation.

            It does NOT imply anything about being skeptical of confirmation or that there is a lack of one.

            It is a comment about how incoherently he talks that seemingly random gibberish could come out of his mouth and you have to check to see if it is real or just some random internet comedian making a meme.

              I mean, you had several people instantly respond with confirmation, under the impression you were demanding it, or declaring that there was confirmation, thinking that you were in denial about that. I understand it wasn’t your intention to imply, but it’s just feedback to let you know, as written, it was easy to not take it the way you intended.

                Seems like the vast majority of people understood, and even the clearest message will be misunderstood by someone who infers something that wasn’t there.
