Basic English, fred.
It is kind of embarrassing that I have to say this to an adult, but. . .
The word "not" before something means "negative" or "opposite"
Not "open" means "closed"
Not "big" means "small"
Not "same" means "different"
So in order for not "so different" to mean "different" you have to argue that "so different" means "same".
Basic English. The principle of negation.
Anyone with a third grade education will tell you that "not so different" is a comment on "sameness" instead of "difference".
Trump was talking about how much alike they were. He was doing that to include himself in their good gene pool.
If you still deny this I am not going to waste my time arguing over basic english.
