Let's see if I can assist the group by removing the emotion from it and make it a Evidence Based Reading Question one might encounter on an SAT:
Jimmy says: "Other have told me Santa Claus is real"
What can we ascertain from this quote:
A. Jimmy believes Santa is real
B. Jimmy is unsure of Santa's existence
C. Jimmy doesn't believe in Santa Claus
D. The quote does not provide us with the information required to ascertain Jimmy's belief in Santa Claus
E. Both A and C
Well in the context of making an argument to support his position, like Trump was doing, this is just citing authority. It carries more weight when it is claimed a group like "they" or "others" claim something is true instead of just stating it as an unsupported personal opinion.
So in this context the answer is "A". Jimmy is supporting his position by citing the opinion of others. Just like your Donald.
If you disagree then please tell me why YOU think Trump made the comment.
