He meant 7 years.

[BlueStater]

I'll cut the shitbag some slack on this one. There's dozens upon dozens of real reasons to mock and hate him without having to nitpick.

It's no different than Obama's "57 states" verbal slip that Republicans wouldn't shut up about. We need to be better than them.

[SHRED]

1. I heard it was 17 on his teleprompter

LOL

[shraby]

2. It IS different. Obama would have known the difference. Not sure trump would.

[Sneederbunk]

3. How do you ever know what the Orange One means?

[HipChick]

4. I tired of this be better than than..

See where it got us...bringing paper cuts to a gun fight..

he's an dumb Traitor who can't even follow words on a teleprompter..

[BlueStater]

7. Stuff like this just makes us look petty.

He's dumb as a fucking rock, but it's not because he made a simple verbal mistake.

[HipChick]

16. Politics is petty and can

be dirty as mud...
The Rethugs made it that way, Fuck him and Fuck them

[Control-Z]

17. Was it a simple verbal mistake?

Or was he exaggerating the shit out of his false claims about Obamacare?

I honestly think it was the latter, so no, it doesn't make us look petty.

He's an especially simple minded narcissist and liar. Why should we lower our standard for him?

[maxsolomon]

19. "47%" was a verbal mistake, too

that was a nail in Romney's coffin.

No quarter.

[FSogol]

5. Fuck that. n/t

[leftstreet]

6. "...17 yrs Obamacare has wreaked havoc" Fuck him!

If he'd said any other thing about the ACA

But just fuck him

[BlueStater]

10. I think we've learned by now that language like that is the norm for this pig.

He peddles fear and exaggerates everything.

[BannonsLiver]

8. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

He gets no quarter from me on anything.

ANYTHING.

[NightWatcher]

9. Stop apologizing for trump. He's the enemy and we must poke any holes we can in him.

[BlueStater]

12. Sure, but let's do it for legit reasons (of which there's plenty).

I know he's a moron, but I honestly don't believe even he's stupid enough to think it existed before its namesake was president.

[gademocrat7]

11. Racist buffoon.

[Phentex]

13. What if he really BELIEVES it was 17 years?

After all, that's how Conway will explain it. You have no idea if what he said was a verbal slip or if he REALLY THINKS IT WAS 17 years!!!

[Mrs. Overall]

14. Sorry, not cutting him any slack. Tired of listening to his antics all the time, 24/17.

I'll be in 17th heaven once this @sshole is out of office.

[delisen]

15. Agree. thanks for your post.

[Thrill]

18. Bullshit. 7 is a lie too

Because the law wasn’t in effect then either

[Shrike47]

20. I tend to agree. He mis-read it. Let's move on, there's plenty to complain about and mock.

[Bleacher Creature]

21. I had the same reaction, and also thought about the 57 states thing.

There are so many other dumb comments that he's made to mock that aren't clear slips of the tongue.

[yardwork]

22. I'll take my laughs where I can. There's little enough.

[drray23]

23. look there are enough trumpers who believe obama

was president when 9/11 happened that I would not be surprised that its a strategic slip of the tongue knowing his dumb followers will believe it. i dont put it past them.

[irisblue]

24. Twitter has been fun.

Very fun this afternoon.

[Trial_By_Fire]

25. Regarding Obama's 57 states....

Obama was referring to 57 American states and territories. Did he
make a mistake? a minor one. I cut him some slack there. He was tired from campaigning
and I think he simply forgot to say 'and territories'...

Just FYI...

[rickford66]

28. I thought he meant 57 visits to states.

But it's like "You didn't build that". Once it's out there, there's no correcting it.

[underpants]

29. That is the explanation. He was throwing Shout out from PR to Guam.

Yes I said shout out

[rzemanfl]

33. I don't care if he confused Heinz's 57 varieties with the number of states in the Union.

Obama was a good President. The orange buffoon is a national embarrassment and a grifter lining his, his family's and his cronies pockets at our expense. He is also a useful idiot to the Russians he conspired with to get elected.

[Beaverhausen]

26. Except is hasn't been around for 7 years

but you knew that

[JHB]

27. Give him nothing.

[underpants]

30. Yeah! What you said!

Fuck him.

Hi JHB

[mcar]

31. And the Republicans, and many "progressives," made hay with that

During an exhausting campaign. Drumpf spent all weekend golfing.

No slack.

[Vinca]

32. How do you know he meant 7 years? Given his record of saying stupid things,

he probably meant 17. Remember just yesterday and the $12 a year for health insurance?

[Weekend Warrior]

34. It was rare under Obama.

It is commonplace with Trump. This is a trend and there is no reason to dismiss it.

Let's just cut him some slack on the exaggerated crowd size at his innaguration. He was really just saying it looked like a whole lot of people from where he was standing.

[pnwmom]

35. I'd cut him slack if his next words didn't include the phrase "wreaking havoc." Sorry, no slack cut.

[MindPilot]

36. No slack, no fuck, no shit, no quarter. Nothing left to give... n/t
