Trump supporters often interpret his statements as serious but not to be taken literally, as noted by journalist Salena Zito, who said, "the press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally." This reflects a common understanding among his base that they grasp the underlying message rather than the exact words

@SumKindaMunster YES!!! That is a perfect analogy. Trump supporters know he is braggadocios, and
he exaggerates, that is why we do not take what he says literally. I laugh at a lot of the stuff he says because
I know how the left will respond to it, and that cracks me up.
Like when he was at a rally back in 2016 and talking about Hillarys lost ( Deleted ) emails. He said "Hey Russia,
maybe you can find her emails" We laughed at the joke, but the left said it was undeniable proof that he
was colluding with Putin.

@DogMan I remember that. Anyone who took that seriously doesn't understand sarcasm.
