Thought people said a while ago that he was running as a joke and that he wouldn't ever be president.

I don't get why people constantly point out every time he says something wrong and work at disproving him

He's not even trying to be right, he's just trying to be inflammatory, and you're falling for it over and over

I've never heard that before, but I'd be willing to take a crack at it if you're interested

I mean I've already interpreted it as "Yes, Trump has lied about x, y, or z, but you need to ignore that."

I doubt it's their perspective exactly. I'd guess it's something more like recognizing that trump doesn't have much of a filter, and he has a direct access to sharing his thoughts with the internet, so taking everything he says on twitter like it's an official statement of action is probably not a good idea. You can tell when a comment is prepared and when it's off the cuff pretty easily.

I'm not saying he doesn't lie, but I think there's a fine line between a lie and speaking without thinking first, and that phrase is probably a recognition that the latter shouldn't be taken to mean the former.

People are fired all the time for their stupid social media comments making the company look bad. Why can't Trump be fired for making America look bad?

Yeah, and why don't they fire Kim Jong Un at the same time!

3 type of Trump followers. Well actually 2.

The first are literally a waste of breath to deal with, Trump worshipers. They excuse off any wrong he does and have a mental gymnastics of why its ok. I definitely call these people a religious cult. They also delusionally believe any heathen of the faith is a liberal, because after all only liberals find trump to be a disgrace.
Then ofc , you have the people(gov and lackeys) that know Trump is terrible and enable his piss poor behaviour.
Last are the trolls. These guys dont actually adore trump , but troll people they do.
