Quote:Should attempts at humour always be taken literally?

Can you hear me in the back?


Not talking about what was said or what is true.


I am talking about the defense he (or any person) cannot be in any way condemned for his (their) actions simply by saying "they let me" do whatever. That is the logic which has been applied. That is the blanket excuse given. Trump says these women let him do these things because he is a star, therefore these women must have just let him do these things. You don't need to have been there or even talk to the women he is talking about. The argument is that since he says they let him, there is nothing more to see. Because it references Trump apparently the electronic impulses in the brain are making this impossible to grasp.
