To the question of why Trump was absent at John Lewis's services:

[quote]"I don't know. I really don't know. I don't know. I don't know John Lewis. He chose not to come to my inauguration. I can't say one way or the other" [whether he thought Lewis was impressive].

"I find a lot of people impressive. I find many people not impressive. He didn't come -- he didn't come to my inauguration. He didn't come to my state of the union speeches. And that's OK. That's his right."

"He should've come. I think he made a big mistake."[/quote]

Imagine any other person saying that.

Meh, if he had showed, you would have posted some outrage about that demanding to know why he showed up, how offensive it was that he was there, how tone deaf he is to show his face there, blah blah blah.... 🙄

@SumKindaMunster That's a fact. They'd find something to whine about!

@SumKindaMunster Countering a reasonable argument with "what if." The "imaginary righteous outrage" trajectory...

@Graylight No, this is based on previous behavior observed, and using that data to predict an alternate path of possible behavior.

@SumKindaMunster Please show your work.

@Graylight Sure!

If story = Trump
Then Graylight runs story through TDS filter
Then result = orange man bad!

@SumKindaMunster So...you didn't prepare for the test.
