However, context matters. Where the left portrays a man sitting in the Oval Office while making the statement, Trump was actually answering questions during an impromptu press interaction while he was getting ready to board a flight. Given what is going on in the president&#8217;s mind as he goes about his day, this kind of slip-up is bound to happen. This is not comparable to having minimal work, not quite being there, and making statements out of the blue. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Enjoy your weekend.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The left is all over a statement that President Donald Trump made, claiming that 300 million &hellip; <a title=\"Weekend Open Thread\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=177594\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Weekend Open Thread<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[221],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-177594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-open-thread"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=177594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177594\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=177594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=177594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=177594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
