    The problem is his answer, which basically reinforced him not caring about unity… so it’s clear he doesn’t care about unity…

      Ok, but quoting out of context is an awful way to express it. I’m not saying Trump actually really wants unity and gave a great answer. I’m saying he didn’t outright say he doesn’t care the way the headline implies, and it just sets us up to step on a rake if we try to bring it up with others.

      Happened this afternoon with a friend of mine posting the same thing elsewhere, unfortunately

        The host sets him up for a classic, presidential call for unity. He brushes it off, and acknowledges what he’s about to say is inflammatory, and then heaps blame on the left, demonizing them and trans people specifically.

        How is that not him “declining to call for unity?” That’s actually a dry read of what he’s doing here.
