    That’s not Trump not understanding what things mean, that’s modern Republican messaging strategy. MTG literally just called a protest Tlaib led “an insurrection” last week. They water down words until they have no meaning anymore, and explicitly accuse the other side of what they’re doing to feed the “both sides” narrative, and take weight off genuine accusations from Democrats or the media. They’ve been doing it for a while. They’ve also done it with “weaponization of government” recently and a few other words and phrases I can’t think of right now. This is why people talk about Republicans being hypocrites and “projecting”. They do it very much on purpose.
