in the comments you damn smart people. My clever point was just coming up and you beat me to it in the comments. Would you ever assume that if they said I'd like you to come over for dinner that their real intention was to eat you and that they are cannibals? And if not, why not? Why would you not make the assumption that they're cannibals? Because the words fit both meanings, right? How do you not assume they're cannibals? What evidence do you have that they're not cannibals? And the answer is because nobody does that. Nobody invites you to their house to eat you. No, I'm not saying it's never been done. Jeffrey Dahmer got close to that. I don't think he used those words. But you have to make an assumption that the person speaking is not an absolute crazy insane monster unless obviously they are.

So when Aaron Rupar was, when I was questioning him and saying there's nothing about drinking bleach in President Trump's statements when that event happened, he points me to the place where he says he sees it. And I think how can you see the thing that isn't there? And so I read the words and he says, Rupar says, quote in a tweet back to me, he was clearly talking about household cleaning products when he refers to disinfectant.

Now if you read the words exactly the way Aaron Rupar did, could you interpret it to mean household cleaning products? And the answer is yes. Yes you could. You could interpret the exact words and specifically the word disinfectant. You could interpret that to mean bleach, right? But should you? Is it completely reasonable to think that the president of the United States, someone who had been handling the office fine, seems to operate in public, went to college, is an actual operating adult in the real world, is it reasonable to think that he was suggesting putting household disinfectants directly into your body? In what world do you make that assumption?

That the word disinfectant, especially when it's in the context of talking about light, light, light, light, light, disinfectant, light, light, light as a disinfectant, disinfectant, light, light as a disinfectant, disinfectant. What logical reason would you pick that word, disinfectant, which is used, you know a light is a disinfectant. Why would you just pick a word end of a sentence to say all those other times before and after it he was talking about light because he used the words specifically. But this one time, this one time right in the middle when he used the word disinfectant, that was the time he meant let's put some bleach into your body.

That's why Aaron Rupar assumed the president was thinking. He made the assumption that the president of the United States quite literally would stand in public and suggest ingesting bleach. Why would anybody be that dumb? And I'm not talking about Trump. How could you be so dumb that you think that the president would say that? That's even possible. If you're making a list of all the things that could have happened would that even be on the list? Because it's just like somebody inviting you over for dinner. You don't assume they mean cannibalism ever. Ever. It's never the right assumption.

But a lot of people did, just like Aaron Rupar did. He's not alone, right? There are tens of millions of people made that same assumption. Why? Because the fake news had drawn such a caricature of Trump that that seemed possible. In other words the fake news was so thoroughly convincing that if President Trump had invited Aaron Rupar over for dinner Aaron Rupar could reasonably assume it was meant to eat him because that's how bad Trump is. That's the world we live in. That somebody wou
