So Trump tweets stuff and most of the time his staff has to retract. The latest is Trump wanting to expand the number of nuked in the world. Staff came out and said that's not what he meant.

In this countries history when the President speaks the world listens and sometimes acts. So how do people tell When Trump speaks he means what he just said?

Here's a member of his staff claiming don't ever take him literally...

Problem if you take him symbolically every person will have their own interrpretaion.

Qliveur is probably the thousandth or millionth time I've heard this superficial chest-thumping observation.

While it may have been about "winning" during the election, it is now exclusively about having a retarded elephant in a China shop. It's about having a possible Russian mole and Traitor in the White House. And it's about a party more set on having one of "theirs" in the White House with a prospect that he will bow under the RNC, the House and the Senate with less to worry about from President-Elect Asshole himself.

"Great Again!" Lower than an elephant turd at the bottom of the sea.

There is no telling what this Disgusting Pig will lead us to. Oh -- I'd follow him alright -- to the gates of Hell. So I could stop short, slam and lock the door, and bury it under tons of spent uranium.

I heard a quote about Trump that went something like "You should take Donald Trump seriously, but you should not take him literally".

Seems about right to me.

Clearly when he says muslim registry he's telling lackeys to start planning them gas chambers. A trillion dollars goes a long way for infrastructure. They take him real seriously, which is the only reason why anyone else does.

You take him seriously because he has (or will have) the power of the Presidency.

Why would I care how you take him? Take him with a grain of salt, take him twice daily with a large glass of water, take him at your own risk? Take what you like and leave the rest. You're a big guy, deal with it and live your life.

So ignore him and wait for him to go away?

Dude! He won!

Its time to move on from the gloating and wonder what he's going to do. You can't run a country on schadenfreude.

Thing about Trump is he will say and do stuff without thinking it through. So like when he says something, it is like where he is in that moment. Everyone does something like that, like while we're thinking about a position we'll toy with this or that hypothetical, except Trump actually tweets his thought or says it in public.

So what he says is important, but like it is just him showing his thought process and it doesn't necessarily mean he'll get to that conclusion.

Just like he was thinking about making that wall a billion ft taller through the campaign to keep out all them rapists, but then concluded it shouldn't really be built at all even though the risk it puts all our white womens under.

Which explains him as the Birther in Chief in what way, exactly?
