    I use the dictionary's. Need me to post a link?

    Specifically...worthy of respect. I do not respect Trump's action in granting clemency to Blago and doubt you do either.

      He learned noting incarcerated, this leads one to believe a personality disorder. What do you think?

        read a theory that Trump commuting or pardoning sentences for Dems is part of his tactics,

        since the Dim party has gone damn near off the rails left, and the ones pardoned or commuted would be considered right leaning dems, or slightly right of the mainstream dems, that he was courting the mainstream or right or mainstream that are , so to say, bothered by the current group of candidates, (suggesting the current group of pres candidate wannabes are left of Mao)

        maybe he is,

        maybe he aint,

        time will tell

          Here's what Trump said:

          "And a lot of people thought it was unfair, like a lot of other things," Trump continued Wednesday, "And it was the same gang — the Comey gang and the — all these sleazebags — that did it. And his name is Rod Blagojevich."

            Whenever Trump says "a lot of people" he means "me".

            I'm unaware of a "Free Blago" grassroots campaign ripening before Trump joined the cause. Blago is a throwaway prop in Trump's drama.

                  Think about how he uses "many people". He could also just have said "I think..." a simple declarative statement, but instead he expands it to "many people", a device intended to suggest he's not just acting to satisfy his own desires.

                  For example:

                  "Vindman was the guy that, when we took him out of the building, the building applauded," Trump told "Geraldo in Cleveland" on Fox News Radio affiliate WTAM. "I don't know if you heard that. The whole building, many people in the building started applauding."
                  Unprofessional, if true. More likely Vindman quietly just didn't come in one day. Trump however probably likes the movie script image of Vindman walking out as the disgraced villain while the extras applaud.

                  As for a Free Blago campaign, you'll have to research that one yourself. But if you find something, please let me know.

                      Again, no empirical evidence just supposition, feelings, "could be?" and little else.

                        Evidence of what? That he uses "a lot of people" when he means himself? That much is self-evident as he includes himself in the group. You should be asking Trump who the "lot of people" are. Especially in the case of Blago. Was Blago on your list? He wasn't on mine.

                        "A lot of people are saying..." is a marketing trick and has been one for a long time. You're suggesting Trump knows nothing about marketing?

                          Avoiding empirical evidence just feeling, fair enough.

                            Evidence of what? And why empirical, specifically?

                            That Trump includes himself among "many people"?

                            That "many people" is a marketing approach?

                            That Trump is familiar with marketing tactics?

                            First day awake after a long sleep?



                            Believe Me!


                            Literally every word out of his mouth is part of a marketing strategy of some kind or another. You understand this, right?

                                I've asked you twice what you don't understand. Third strike is the last one.

                                Trump speaks in marketing terms. Commercials, including his, are the way to understand him. If your reply to this is "no commercials" then it's like expecting your French teacher to teach you only in English! (And I bet somewhere this has happened.)
