No reason to try to even explain. People who voted from Trump understand exactly what he meant, and many would take those comments further. The one thing you never do is apologize. Doing so only emboldens the enemy. Like a shark sensing blood in the water, the left are no different.
THanks @shayne for the excellent post. Indeed the media reports on Trump in the negative 95% of the time. Agenda motivated do you think? Plus, perhaps they think that by serving up lies they keep the liberal left inflamed and following them. $$$ is a motivation. Blessings.
Critical thinking is sorely lacking, all around, nowadays, IMHO. And I'm one of those from the left. I try to speak to my people about this, as I hope everyone from every 'side'/perspective does with their political peers. Selective editing and lack of context to manipulate/create a belief and especially emotional reaction (and yes, often in the case of the media outlet, $$) is rampant - and wrong, wherever it's coming from.
I guess I'm a 'liberal'/progressive, I guess- gasp! (though trust me, I'm pretty exasperated with a lot of them - and others since 2016) (really, though, keep reading...) The 'out of context clip' is all too commonly used, by anyone that has any agenda - all 'sides' do it to control a narrative. It's never right, or fair, or good journalism. Even here, and I think Trump is, well, take a guess. Any selective, edited, manipulated "truth" is dangerous.

SSDD as is the normal with any of the MSM (main stream media). They are working to control what the real truth is...

Excellent, of course the New Speak Times was also pushing the same false narrative Operation Mockingbird style. Funny how they all do that.
