Because you’re so smart, could you explain [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20691941&postcount=2328) to me. I’m sure you know exactly what trump means at any given time because otherwise you could not agree with him on everything.

Just do it, sentence by sentence. Maybe we all see the light and no more consider you an idiot. This is your chance. 🙂

Mr. **C**. has requested I fill in for him as he’s recovering from another kick to the head. (Those 6 year old black belts can be savage)  
_taps microphone_ “Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?”  
_clears throat_  
“Fuck off.”

Thank you, that was a perfect imitation, couldn’t tell it from the real one. Every bit as informative and insightful. I had to check out the posters name several times to be sure.  
You really should try for a talent show.

I’m so rarely wrong that it’s not an issue. Deal with it.

Prove what, that **Quicksilver** was wrong? He did that all by himself without any help from me. I simply pointed it out.

What head shot? He tried, he missed, he failed miserably. But that is to be expected from liberals.

Why wouldn’t I reply? And I don’t agree with Trump on everything. Whatever gave you that idea? Oh, right - liberal.

And since you can’t understand what he said, I’ll boil it down for you: stop illegal immigration. That I do agree with him on.

Good advice, RC. Take it. Go sit in a corner wanking like a drooling moron and just shut the fuck up.

So did anyone ever post the link to the “9 dumbest gun-control quotes”? If not, here it is:

> **[9 Dumbest Gun-Control Quotes from Politicians and Celebrities](https://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/gun-shots/2013/07/9-dumbest-gun-control-quotes-politicians-and-celebrities/)**
>
> People often say dumb things in the heated passion of political debate. And in the new era of gun control regulations, inflaming emotions rather than engaging in a rational discussion has become all too common.

Spoiler alert: it’s from 2013, so I imagine some of these may have fallen off the top nine list by now.

No Clothy…you’ve still got cobwebs. Shake it off. Run a lap or two and see if that clears it up.

Ah Danielsan, father teach me to not block punch with nose or block kick with head. Father smart.

Wrong thread. I think you meant to post in [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=511831).

Sure, I got that, and also agree with it. I don’t think anybody’s against that. Why anybody would be against it :smack:

But explain these for a start:

“I’m always moving. I’m moving in both directions.”  
“The chain is the last guy that killed.”  
“They take the worst people in the country, they put ‘em into the lottery, then they have a handful of bad, worse ones, and they put them out.”

If the idea is presented in a confused way, I don’t trust it’ll be executed less confused, no matter how much I agree with the sentiment behind it.  
So unless you are a complete idiot, to support trump you MUST understand what he means, not only “what” but also “how”, “why” etc. And if you do, then you can explain these. If you can’t, be a man and admit it.

Or are you going to take the coward’s way once again?

It’s like religion. “I may not understand what God says(mysterious ways) but I believe it”
