He does say these things - time and again! But in less formal speeches he rolls with the audience and often says things that sound pretty dumb when taken out of context. And some things that are pretty dumb even in context. In any case the media has plenty of dumb things to pick from. And they generally choose to spend 100% of their time on the dumb things and 0% on the meat of the issues. And thus when you rely on the media to inform you, it makes it look like his arguments are based on the dumb things, exactly as this article tries to do. Here [1] is the video, from the point his comments from this thread. It was just a hoo-ra speech, not a policy discussion -- just going over his achievements and playing in with the crowd. By contrast here is a transcript from trump signing the executive order on 'energy independence' which he lays out his views and motivations for what he's doing. [2] Here's [3] it in video format if that's your thing. Note how the post you're responding to is downvoted. We're turning into a society where people want to hate the 'other side', and of course this is true to all 'sides.' And the media is feeding into this, and likely hold some responsibility for it. And so it's becoming increasingly difficult to get anything like a meaningful discussion of any issue within the media. Instead, they (and again this holds equally true for both sides) simply try to evangelize as much as they can for one side while demonizing and working to humiliate the other side so much as possible. This is not a good environment for discussion of issues where people may, at some point, be forced to agree to disagree.
