if you're able to comprehend him between the slurred words, he clearly indicates that he supports the military opening fire on the protestors if they throw rocks

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/11/01/trump_on_shooting_caravan_members_were_going_to_consider_it_if_they_throw_rocks.html

seriously though whats up with the slurred words in the middle of the afternoon?

Treat the rocks as if they are rifles. If the army was fighting enemies armed with rifles, they would absolutely not shoot.

maybe it wouldn't be an issue if CNN wasn't trying to lead people a certain way

how hard is it to say "trump apparently implies shooting caravan"?

so I'm not picking up on social cues and that makes it ok for CNN to lie about him literally sayign a word he didn't say? what social cue did i miss when they said "yes. you DID say the word shoot" and then play a clip where he doesn't say the word shoot?

Because Trump is arguing semantics and CNN isn't. There's no other way to interpret what he said.

Yeah, he never did say the exact word shoot, but were really just playing semantics. Im willing to listen to any reasonable explanation on what he meant other than shoot, but I really dont see one.

My inference when I heard it was that US soldiers would open fire on the aliens that are throwing rocks at them.

Lmao what!? That's not how it works at all

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/lets-argue-semantics

The phrase arguing semantics doesnt really indicate that the discussion is about something other than meaning, just that the precise nature of that meaning is not terribly important.

IE: Trump makes the claim he didn't "technically" say shoot. CNN is making the claim that it isn't about the precise phrase "shoot", it's about the implications of such phrase and the precise phrase doesn't matter.

don't police officers in the US routinely kill people on the understanding they have a gun on them? Feel like trump saying they need to treat rocks like guns actually adds to the shooting point here!

Its the same shit as him saying things like back in the day theyd get roughed up or whatever it was he said, then when one of his supporters rough someone up he says well technically I didnt tell them to do that!

Thats juvenile shit. A real leader looks at that and says look while that wasn't my intent I need my supporters to know not to do that...or whatever. He just says nah fake news I never said that! Look at them saying I said that! And all that does is further rule up his violent supporters.

Come on people. Stop defending a man child.

Yes, if they are using it in a violent manner. Otherwise they don't do anything.

So either we arrest/kill them for throwing rocks or we do nothing, which that would seem like a really round about way of saying that

So people defending Trump and complaining about CNN.

Explain what this means.

Were not going to put up with that. They want to throw rocks at our military, our military fights back, said Trump on Thursday. I told them [troops] consider [a rock] a rifle. When they throw rocks like they did at the Mexican military and police, I say consider it a rifle.

To be fair you know he doesnt think through what he says. He said something dumb, it can really only be interpreted limited ways, when it was interpreted that way his handlers told him he fucked up, but rather than prepare a statement for the idiot they just let him speak again without thinking.
