It doesn't. I never said it did. What I am saying is that the language and framing used paint a far grimmer picture than what actually happened. We've had this discussion before regarding things Trump said and how they are blown up or taken out of context. This doesn't need to be done as the actual statements are usually plenty bad on their own. Yet the urge to exaggerate apparently cannot be curbed. You've seen it there, I'm surprised you don't see it here. This makes people tune out, everything becomes hyperbole.
