And the Trumposphere is ablaze today with all kinds of ridiculous defenses of his gaffes (more than one). The "Obama said there were 57 states" line of defense. Clearly a gaffe (which he corrected), but then again Obama was a Constitutional scholar. Trump clearly is a constitutional moron. Scholars get a little break on this stuff, especially when they quickly admit their mistake. Trump never admits a thing.
"Whataboutism" is not their only line of defense, of course. "It was a long speech". "He was tired".... His speech was compared to “an angry grandpa reading a fifth grader’s book report on American military history.”
And of course, Trump: "“I guess the rain knocked out the teleprompter, so it’s not that, but I knew the speech very well, so I was able to do it without a teleprompter. " Sure, Bucky. You just go right aheaad and believe that. Then wonder why you're a laughingstock of the world.
