The point is not whether what triggers a PESD sufferer is true or not; it is why does it trigger them.
There's a current thread on here about Trump saying "I don't stand by anything" when having a heated discussion with a journalist. Did he say them? Yes. Did those that jumped all over them attempt to understand the context in which they were uttered? No. Has anyone here that where triggered by Trump's words given there opinion on another more public PESD sufferer throwing out homophobic phrases when trying to condemn Trump for these words? No.
I do appreciate that you guys have established your own little PESD support group. I hope you guys can work it out.
I understand exactly the context in which his words were used. Trump tweeted something which was false. He continues to repeat the falsehood as if it were true even during the interview despite a lack of evidence and informed statements from within the US intelligence community. He was asked if he stood by the statement and refused. Trump hasn't stood by his statements on NATO, NAFTA, China, Syria, tariffs,healthcare, immigration, Obama's citizenship, Flynn, Bannon, and the list goes on and on. Not just during his first 100 days. Or his campaign. Or the past decade. But, going back decadessssssssssssss. The man himself doesn't know what he stands for so of course he doesn't stand by anything.
He changes his mind more often than he changes wives. Come to think of it, wives are just one more thing he doesn't stand by. Although, He did stand behind his grab 'em by the ***** comment as just locker room talk. So we have found common ground, He does stand by at least one thing.
