I was being sarcastic again! Trump uses same defense for his disinfectant debacle to insist his bungled 'Noble' prize tweets were actually attacks on journalists' morals after 'phony' NY Times hamburger story

President Trump called himself the 'hardest working president in history' as he sent out a flurry of tweets protesting a New York Times story

-----

Trump accused the Times of lying about 'his schedule and eating habits' and said he was working around the clock

He also said the Times journalists should give their 'Noble' prize back, confusing it with the Pulitzer, which they won, and spelling Nobel wrong

In a follow-up tweet four hours later, the president claimed his use of the word 'noble' instead of 'Nobel' was him being sarcastic to get his point across

1. Is that the same brilliant defense he will use in court

when he has to eventually face his crimes in the SDNY? "Judge, I wasn't lying, stealing and cheating on my taxes, etc. I was just being sarcastic to make a point about lying, cheating and stealing on my taxes". Suuuure, dude.

2. He doesn't even understand what sarcasm IS!

This seems like a good time for this neologism from a few years back:

Sarcasm - the gap between biting wit and someone too stupid to get it.

Also, ignorance - someone who is both stupid AND an asshole

3. He is an idiot.

So damn stupid that he doesn't even know what sarcasm is.

Saying that journalists should give back their Noble Prize is not sarcasm. The only point that Trump got across is that he is an idiot.

12. The thing is he spelled it both ways in the post !!

He spelled it correctly AND incorrectly in the post. noble/Nobel. and then seemed like he was doing something with dictionary definition of noble. It was fucked up word salad to me.

4. I don't think he knows what sarcastic means. n/t

6. Has anyone ever seen him tell a joke -- I mean, a real joke? For that matter

has anyone ever seen him truly, genuinely laugh?

[RainCaster]

8. Someone taught him how to spell it

They gave him a post-it note

10. Watching TV & tweeting don't count as work. nt

11. President Trump called himself...

"President Trump called himself the 'hardest working president in history'"... that could be considered sarcasm
