The correct legal term for Trump’s admission against self-interest is “excited utterance”.
An excited utterance, in the law of evidence, is a statement made by a person in response to a startling or shocking event or condition. It is an unplanned reaction to a “startling event”. It is an exception to the hearsay rule.[1] The statement must be spontaneously made by the person (the declarant) while still under the stress of excitement from the event or condition. The subject matter and content of the statement must “relate to” event or condition. The statement could be a description or explanation (as required for present sense impression), or an opinion or inference. Examples include: “Look out! We’re going to crash!” or “I think he’s crazy. He’s shooting at us!” The basis for this hearsay exception is the belief that a statement made under the stress is likely to be trustworthy and unlikely to be a premeditated falsehood.
Nice try, Brad. This isn’t as easy as kicking your boss’ opponent’s ball into the bunker, is it?
Typo? Like the doctored video?
The @nytimes clearly knows this is NOT TRUE.
Not so clearly.
@realDonaldTrump stated unequivocally during his presser this is FALSE.
He stated unequivocally about many things like “Mexico will pay for the wall”. So?
I sure wish we knew when to take Trump at his word and when not to–preferably, in real time, and not a few hours after the fact when the mop-up brigade tells us when.
Dr. Freud, cleanup on aisle I, Dr. Freud, cleanup on aisle I…
Very much like his “dirty, filthy, disgusting” comment speaks to what he sees in the mirror.
Meanwhile, Parscale looks like he got into daddy’s self-tanner. I can’t speak to WTF is going on with that hair.
So who’s this guy Brad? Jeebus, has anybody done the back story on this dude? There’s always a back story with the crazies.
Typo, a word mispelled and not caught (ignoring auto correct). He (and those who help him twitter) makes those all the time. Looks like hamberder or coffeve.
Show us Brad - what the typo was - and how that changed the meaning of the statement?
Oh. Right. Your explanation doesn’t have to make sense, or be true, it just has to give some kind of statement/excuse that the base can use/repeat.
The brohawk does not become him.
And yes the id seems to be acting up today.
Basically, he was a nobody from Texas who curried favor with Trump during the election and got to do the campaign’s data research (with an assist from Cambridge Analytica). And now he’s the chair for the reelection campaign.
More lies. More. F_ckin’. Lies.
One problem is that Trump seems to be permanently in an “excited state”.
Those same excited fingers that typed that tweet are the same ones that could press the codes and unleash a nuclear attack, right?
I think the key is that his base is always supposed to take him at his word, the rest of us are always supposed to excuse his words.
OOoo…another new sharkskin suit! This guy is moving up in the world.
He really is sporting a new look. Hard to miss.
Brad Parscale is tRump’s Brain, aka Turd Floret.
How is it a typo? Perhaps they want to claim it was worded clumsily, but a typo?
That’s really funny, “Dr. Freud, cleanup on aisle I, Dr. Freud, cleanup on aisle I…”
And yeah WTF is up with the hairdo? And that look! Is this all just a bad really long one-act play? Where do they find these people?
Seriously. If this guy isn’t a poster child for White Supremacist, who is? Except he is a bit “tan” for their liking
He was using his phone with autocorrect.
