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.

Again, "not so different" does NOT mean "exactly the same". Why you keep trying to argue this, I don't know? Oh wait, yes, I do. You need to twist Trumps words, because it's not enough to use the stupid shit he DOES say, you have to make up shit too.

Trump was talking about how much alike they were.  He was doing that to include himself in their good gene pool.

Yes, it's a comment on sameness, but it still doesn't mean EXACTLY the same. He's saying he comes from a similar gene pool but not from the same gene pool.

Why not? I've been arguing with someone that thinks telling a crowd they look good somehow means he's promoting white supremacy.
