So he is a type of feller that speaks without thinking, gotcha. So basically:

"Please excuse my reckless speech" and this BY the way coming from a guy that plays an important role of the free world.

Asking people to forgive imprecise speech is essentially asking for reckless speech not to be corrected. Why not just speak more accurately? You seem smart enough to be able to. Why can't he? Hmmm.....


Is it just mental laziness or do you feed off of people's reaction to intentionally hyperbolic speech? He exactly knows what he is doing. 

You can dislike the guy all you want. Don't let your dislike prevent you from understanding how his supporters see him. It makes you look stupid, not them. Especially when you're the one that's interpreting it incorrectly. 

Let me put it this way: If a guy walks up to you with his wife and says I was with you last night, right, and gives you a wink, he wants you to support his story, right? If your friend is there, and he says, no, he was with me last night. I didn't see you, and you are like, nah he was with me, and your friend persists. He's the stupid one, right? 

Don't mistake that for me saying that it's ok to lie. The analogy is about understanding what is not communicated with the mouth. His supporters take him seriously, but not literally. You want to attribute to them stupidity, but they just get the nonverbals and you don't.
