And if he didn't want every thing he said and did recorded or reported, he shouldn't have gotten into national politics. Every word, action and memo from any POTUS is not just reported, but preserved for posterity. How did Trump not know that??

specifically have worked on losing campaigns.

It's a stretch to say he was calling McCain a loser in that context.

That being said ... he clearly calls him a loser in the video.

And though it could have perhaps been argued he's saying McCain lost the election, not that he's a loser as a person ... what he goes on to say ... the infamous quip that McCain's not a hero and that he 'likes people that weren't captured' is an even worse thing to say anyway, so ...

12. Problem With That

That requires applying nuance & context to a guy who's appeal is ignoring nuance & context.
Sort of like when he used "coronavirus" & "hoax" in the same sentence, and they tried to spin that he didn't mean the virus was a hoax.
When one shows they have zero nuance, we must take the words literally. And, he used "losers" & "McCain" in the same run-on sentence.
Given the track record, I think it's fair to say he's lumping everyone into the same category.

He'll need to appoint someone to head up his new "Department of Denial" soon. trumps a serial liar, and a illegitimate president.

TV. They say where on MSNBC, that's fake news. Even if they see and hear him say something
if it is not on Faux it is fake news, they believe somehow they altered the tape I guess. They will argue
endlessly on something that can be proved and when they see the proof they don't believe it. If Trump told
them to drink arsenic it's good for you they would.
