The reason I heard the FULL remarks differently than you is because I'm operating under a different set of assumptions about the type of person that Donald Trump is. This isn't to say I'm right and you're wrong. It's to say that everyone uses assumptions in every single interaction in their lives - they can be useful - and based on mine I interpret a fuzzy statement about immigrants differently than you do.
The media has nothing to do with it.
- jdoliner 8y agoIf you listened to the full remarks I certainly don't fault you for applying any assumptions you have in interpreting them. Assumptions are absolutely necessary. I'm just saying don't let the media's assumptions be your assumptions. Try to get to the source, which, it seems like in this case you did.
