BERMAN: The president said 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation.' How much do you think about Americans' financial situation when it comes to Iran?
REP. MARK ALFORD: He was saying, look, he does care about the American people

(8,955 posts)when asked about Trump's admission, JD said Trump never said it...except he did...Alford admit's Trump said it but invokes a reverse twist on the Iago Montoya quote "....I do not think it means what you think it means"...
I sort of understand what's going on here...Trump, a prolific pathological liar, said something that was actually true..and JD, a liar but not yet a liar on Trump's level, is in denial because he knows (and we know) his boss never speaks in truths (and JD doesn't know the internet is forever)....whereas, Alford does indeed know how to "google" and is obligated to "translate" Trump's callous disregard for human life as a good thing...
