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.

Fred, your opponents seem to have a fundamentalist theory of language. 

You seem to be thinking like a lawyer, but you are arguing like a fundamentalist.

Unless you can get them to agree that the meaning of a passage of "plain English" may in fact be determined/delimited by something outside that passage, you are going to keep going around in a circle.
