...which he saw no need to clarify in real time? If people all around the world took him literally at his word, which they did, what does that say about his judgement? Holding a grudge match on matters of life and death with reporters he doesn't like just to see what would happen? With sarcasm so poorly played that literally no one in the world didn't take him seriously? This is supposed to be his defense? Not only is it totally implausible but it is almost as horrific as the truth.
