Summary
At a North Carolina rally, Donald Trump used aggressive language, questioning if he was “allowed to hit” Michelle Obama after her recent criticism of his values and policies.
Though Trump spoke metaphorically, his comments drew backlash, with analysts calling the remark in poor taste. Trump recounted an imaginary conversation with his staff advising him to tone down his rhetoric, prompting cheers from supporters urging him to “hit back.”
The statement, shared widely on social media, has raised concerns about its impact on the gender gap and support among conservative women voters.
Unless you think she has already physically hit him, it’s painfully clear from the context that this is a political hit.
Your post just reads as a justification for being fooled by the title, or a justification for being outright dishonest. We can’t shut on trump supporters for being so detached from reality while trying to pretend it’s reasonable to believe he was talking about actually physically hitting her here. It’s equally as detached from reality.
