Regardless of context, he did say those words in that order.

    Context no longer seems to matter to them, so it shouldn’t to anyone else when discussing things like this. Pass it around.

      That doesn’t make any sense. Context always matters.

      Uh, what? You’re right, context and truth don’t matter to the maga freaks. That’s why it has to matter to us. How would (non cultish) voters ever be able to trust us again?? We’d be manifesting the “both sides” argument! We can resist like hell without spreading disinformation…

          Ignoring necessary context required to correctly understand or interpret even a direct quote while “pass[ing] it around” is extremely deceptive. Exhibit A. In context, it is extremely plausible that Trump was referring to the 2020 election as, by losing it and being eligible to run in 2024, he is now able to oversee the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
