Hearing the quote; this is nonsense
He says the movie, uses the character name, and then says actor
The article does point out the actor never said that but he‘a not confusing the character for a real person
Hearing the quote; this is nonsense
No it’s not. The headline is entirely accurate. It does not claim that he confused the character for a real person anywhere, did you actually read the article? It only reports that Trump cited a fictional character, which is 100% true. And it acknowledges that he was likely referring to one of the actors who has portrayed Hannibal Lecter on film. There’s nothing nonsensical or unreasonable about the reporting in this article. Nobody in their right mind goes around referring to Iron Man or Marty McFly as their favorite actors, now do they?
You’re just using the same mental gymnastics that the Republicans use.
Yes, the headline is accurate. But Trump indeed was referring to Anthony Hopkins.
If you’re talking to an audience it might be easier to refer to a fictional character and say the actor of it rather than say the actor’s name
Example: saying Tom Hiddleston supports you might have people not know who that is. Saying the actor who played Loki might reach a larger audience
Lmao my god you’re just tripping over yourself to make excuses for Trump.

Your example is absolute bullshit. He didn’t say “the actor who played Hannibal Lecter” now did he? He called him Hannibal Lecter. You apologists always give yourselves away because you ignore what he actually said and start substituting it with what you wish he would’ve said instead because it sounds less stupid.
There are two major wars and a climate crisis getting out of control, and you report on this?
God here come the “Trump said thing” headlines.
Yeah that sounds like something his demented ass would say.
Trump living rent free in liberal heads
