My reference to the "Simon says" game was pretty explicit, don't you think?

He's a bitch if he says what he believes. Got it, you're an idiot.

"He's a bitch if he says what he believes." No, I'd NEVER say that. You're putting words in my mouth to "win" whatever the fuck this is.

You asked why you were getting downvoted and I gave you my personal answer for why I downvoted your comment. Please note that I do not know what is in Trump's mind and cannot answer with any certainty why he does what he does. If you want to know what was going on in his mind, I'm sorry, but you have to go ask him.

Perhaps he was distracted by having to talk to two people. Perhaps he reached the end of his patience to answer these types of questions. Perhaps he doesn't like being in a submissive position. Perhaps he doesn't want to appear to be in a submissive position to the voters. Perhaps he was too busy thinking of what questions they'll ask AFTER he condemns these groups that he wasn't able to respond the way he would have otherwise. Perhaps he is okay with being in a submissive position but only with people like Hannity that don't have an ulterior purpose for asking the question. Etc etc. Perhaps others can come up with dozens of other possible explanations.

Read Catch 22. I'd say we need more people that can stand up to the left's "loyalty oaths" and shout "Gimme eat!"

Maybe you'd be the press' bitch, but some people don't roll that way.

Does Trump believe white supremacists should be condemned? Yes. Did they ask him to say exactly that? Yes. Did you say right there in that quote that if he said it, it made him a bitch? Yes, yes you did.

Don't tell me I'm putting words in your mouth just because you realize you said something stupid.

Let me spell this out for you:
THIS is not what I meant:
"He's a bitch if he says what he believes."
THIS is what I meant:
"People, whether or not they are the President, would be the "press' bitch" if when explicitly or implicitly asked to do something do so without hesitancy (and do this often), like in the game of Simon Says. This is independent upon whether or not they believe said thing, but based on the fact that they are re-affirming something that the press already knows and doing so upon request repeatedly."

The meaning of your quoted sentence has a VERY different meaning than what I just wrote. You are missing several assumptions that I'd put in my comment.
