There was more of this at the weekend.

Do you think Trump is going to cry the mentally impaired plea, and using this as proof of oncoming senility?

I know you're being antagonized, but I object to this statement. I used to read headlines/excepts on Reddit about "so-and-so thinks this and said that!" and then I'd go watch an unedited video of the speech, and I was like, "that's your takeaway?" It's always some shit like:

Interviewer "Do you think if Russia launches nukes, it will impact Medicaid?"

Interviewee: "I think if there's nukes in the air, Medicaid will be the least of our concerns."

News headline "POLITICAL FIGURE ISN'T CONCERNED ABOUT CUTS TO MEDICAID!".
