Okay, so the original text was from The Daily Caller -

http://dailycaller.com/2018/09/05/full-transcript-trump-daily-caller-interview/


THE DAILY CALLER: Can I ask you about the Kavanaugh hearing today?

POTUS: Yeah.

THE DAILY CALLER: Democrats have put on quite a show, have you kept up with it?

POTUS: A good show or a bad show?

THE DAILY CALLER: Ill leave that up to you, sir.

THE DAILY CALLER: Have you seen some of it? Its been a lot of protests and interrrupting.

POTUS: "Im amazed that people allow the interruption to continue. You know, there are some people that just keep screaming at the same people. In the old days we used to throw them out. Today I guess they just keep screaming. I thought Sen. Hatch was good because he was very indignant at the interruptions by a woman that was up there that just kept going on and on. I dont know why they dont, why they dont take care of a situation like that because its terrible. I think its embarrassing for the country to allow protesters, you dont even know which side the protesters were on. But to allow someone to stand up and scream from the top of their lungs and nobody does anything about it is frankly I think its an embarrassment. I think, well its really early stages, but I think the Democrats are grasping at straws, that looks like to me. Its incredible how bipartisan everything, when you look at how the opposite, I mean, when you look at how the level of division between the two sides, its sort of incredible.


WaPo is being deceptive here by saying "He added" since that portion of the quote occurred before his later quote, the "why do we allow protests" quote, and when you look at the actual interview quotes there is the implication that Trump was not fully aware of how many had been disrupted at the time.

"He added" implies the second quote was after the first, but could be weasel'd legally since it was technically a statement he added onto a separate statement.

So I'd agree that this is #3, WaPo being deceptive, but they present in a way where quote 2 backs up quote 1, but quote 2 appears nonsensical since it implies he didn't know protesters were ejected when the full context of the article would explain why he didn't know (he wasn't following it closely, apparently)
