I never said a mumblin' word about anything non-rule-of-law. Here's what I am saying:
Let's say this guy is a judge, and let's say he says he's holding up four fingers. In fact, he RULES he's holding up four fingers, and if you don't say it too he will throw you in jail for contempt.
Now regardless of what you say to the judge, who decides how many fingers you really believe he is holding up? If you get to decide inside your own head about the fingers, I get to decide what I believe about Trump.
The sources do count. You wanted to know about Trump's intent, right? Ignore them at your ignorance.
