“Some
People”
Is
he going to be allowed to use this transparent sham the entire campaign? I can’t
count the number of times presidential candidate Donald Trump has dredged up
the “some people are saying” phrase to hide behind as he spouts bigoted and
perverse opinions against his opponent, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Once
or twice was annoying but understandable. But done repeatedly this trick
becomes obvious for what it is. Did Trump think this vague, unattributable
term, “some people” was necessary to protect supposed real people from having
to take ownership of their statements? Or was he merely trying to expand the
sentiments of one isolated person to seem like more “people”?
I
could offer numerous examples of Trump’s use of this device. He seems to do it
several times a week. But my more immediate heartburn arises from the media,
his, hers and “objective” media permitting this to go unchallenged. At press
conferences, debates and the like nobody ever presses Trump to name names. “Some
people” includes specifically who, Mr. Trump?
