"The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used."

Can anyone translate that latest Trump tweet into English?

1. Its called a lie.

[oberliner]

2. But what does he mean?

Is he saying he didn't say what he was reported to have said? What does he mean by the language was 'tough' then? I don't get it.

[Voltaire2]

3. it means that the president of the united states has dementia

that is now obvious.

[lkinwi]

5. He is using the term tough talk as a talking point for his Fox buddies.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

4. He means he didn't say "shithole countries."

He said "shithole nations."

6. Someone else

(Kelly?) crafted that muddled tweet.

7. Hey blundertrump

snort a few fewer lines of coke before tweeting. Remember covfefe? Too much cocaine is a bad thing. Especially for a demented bigot trying to feign sanity.

[PJMcK]

10. Trump doesn't use cocaine

He's just an asshole.

And an idiot.

[thbobby]

15. I dunno

at the debates, he sniffed a lot. Lost a lot of energy as the debate wore on. But you are probably correct. Just guessing on my part. He seems a lot like an addict to me. Mood swings, erratic behavior. Besides, like everyone here, I hate the bastard.

8. Whether This Tweet Makes Sense Or Not....

because the Dems didn't immediately and en masse condemn Trump's racist comment of yesterday - they've given Trump the opportunity to respond first.

The Dems just lost their advantage to keep the pressure on Trump & the Repugs by being silent and not taking the lead on this.

Another disappointment by them & the leaders of our Party.

This is why we lose.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. WTF are you talking about?

I watched Dem after Dem (elected) come on teevee yesterday and condemn it.

We "lose" when those who post comments like yours sow discord via fiction.

Sad comment from @realDonaldTrump. All the more reason to focus on getting an agreement on DACA as soon as possible.

16. Pelosi's Tweet Was More About DACA vs The Vile Racist Comment Made By Trump....

It's a vile comment not just sad. The Dems - as a group - needed to immediately hold a news conference to condemn Trump and his racist comment.

I'm sorry but they lost an opportunity to take the high ground here and use that high ground to their advantage in negotiating DACA going forward.

You got to believe if the shoe were on the other foot - the Repugs would have exploited such a comment by a Dem president.

17. They are in the middle of negotiations

so they can move on (Durbin had pretty much announced a tentative agreement - am assuming outside of what Flake had announced) before this shit hit the fan -

My colleagues and I have reached a bipartisan agreement on the #DreamAct

--so now they will need to regroup. If anything, they need OTHERS in the room to do the negotiations.

The party is dealing with many many constituencies and IMHO, EVERY FUCKING PERSON in our party KNOWS Drumpf is a racist fuck.
