It doesn't even matter if he actually meant to say it the first time, if you ask him whether he meant it he will always say "yes, and fuck you for thinking I might not"

My favorite example of this is the "Liberation Day" tariff-stravaganza last year. I was watching when he first mentioned the April 1 date and IMO he CLEARLY got mixed up when someone asked him about the schedule and gave what was then supposed to be the day of a more limited car tariff announcement.

We are still doing this because the media has been cleared of people with ethics and morals to make way for people who will be sycophantic to Republicans and Trump above all else, whether it be "For access" or cause they like him is irrelevant.

At ANY POINT since 16 they could have reported on him honestly and treated him like he deserves and so many leading news agencies decided it was better for them to coddle him and treat him like he was the most specialist boy ever, damned be the consequences.

In much the same way all police stories use the exonerative tense, all Trump stories are premised on finding the most innocent interpretation of things and working backwards while ignoring all prior context
