So, when they deploy a fake news ball-breaker to get under his skin to try and create/capture a 'gotcha' moment, the folks can clearly see the obvious effort to take cheap shots and entrap him.
For the record, this is why we regularly applaud his unique ability to turn the tables on bastards time and again.
Just consider the collective pearl-clutching from the fake news media that ensued in the aftermath. It only illustrated that the least amongst us couldn't find enough ways to be outraged...which ONLY MAKES US LOVE HIM MORE.
What's amazing is how they never seem to catch on that they're actually a vital part of the #MAGA LOVE-FEST that always follows another one of their failed effort to land a punch.
And in the end, after all the dust settles, basically every single person in that #Townhall event will end up happily voting for him - as they should.
Advantage: Trump
Raheem Kassan puts it this way:
I think he's right. It's a characteristic of really intelligent people, they just skip over the dumb questions that only recognize two choices and give the REAL answer to the question that wasn't asked. I worked for a guy who did this all the time and had to explain to people that he wasn't 'avoiding' the question he was improving your question. Not only is it smart and honest, it annoys the heck out of the Libs because a.) They often can't follow the logic and b.) They never win.
Newt Gingrich is a GOAT in the regard…though he goes after the very premise of the question. Trump is much better at deploring the answer he wants to give…much more skilled at PR that way.
Newt’s premise missiles would be deemed “too argumentative” nowadays, but it was so satisfying.
deploying.
Yup. Auto-correct is a prime example of how “smart” tech isn’t very smart.
