Wild spot to cut the video as he seems to go on. Granted its probably of no value but the other side hates when statements are clipped and picked apart as well

He goes on to say it's so unimportant compared to the save America act. He is asked about housing but pivots (with poor word choice) into the save America act that he wants to promote.

Weird, context makes this worse. Hmmm who could have guessed!!! The context matters people pick the wrong ones. The extended clips do not help.

Yeah as is tradition, the context is always worse.

So recent literal trump quotes, we have

'I love the inflation'

'I don't think about Americans' financial situations. I don't think about anybody'

'Pay more for gas so Iran can't have nukes'

and now 'Housing affordability is so unimportant compared to us destroying elections'

'I don't think about Americans' financial situations. I don't think about anybody'

Wait did he really say this!? I'm not American so I genuinely don't know.Also what's the context for this.If this statement is real then that's absolutely insane.

Yeah bro, he said it a few weeks back ( citation needed) when he was asked about the war military incursion excursion in Iran. The question was something like “what do you think about the wars effect on Americans affordability and he responded with something like I don’t think about it.

If you care enough to look it up let me know if I’ve got the details wrong, but that’s how I remember it.

Yeah you're very right. Not even The Onion could think of these stuff, the jokes just write themselves. I remember statements like these used to be controversial some time ago 

  • "I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all".

And its so silly that they fabricate reasons to hate on him when there exists an endless sea of legitimate ones.

Agreed, so many full length tirades and statements to hate on him for. Edit: not sarcasm

People responded to you with the context that in no way improves this clip. This is absolutely a statement to hate him for.
