Come on. How totally stupid does Trump think his base is? Here's the full tweet...


"A far left magazine, or very “progressive,” as some would call it, which has been doing poorly and hasn’t been involved with the Billy Graham family for many years, Christianity Today, knows nothing about reading a perfect transcript of a routine phone call and would rather have a Radical Left nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President. No President has done more for the Evangelical community, and it’s not even close. You’ll not get anything from those Dems on stage. I won’t be reading ET again!"

He probably would have someone read it for him and give him a one minute briefing and then forget the whole thing.

He doesn't appear to understand Mike Pence will replace him.

He doesn't believe anyone can replace him; that would be unthinkable! After all, who could? I mean, this is a man who truly knows more than anyone, anywhere about anything. He tells us himself whenever he gets the opportunity. He really is the Second Coming; an obese orange Jesus.

I think he did a great job summing up the reality for Evangelicals. If they want to push their political agenda, then Trump is a better choice than the Dems. Only problem is I think a few right wing Evangelicals are starting to wonder if their spiritual agenda is more important than their political agenda because Trump is so toxic to every other aspect of their belief system. It is almost like making a deal with the devil to criminalize abortion and force Bible study in public schools in exchange for abandoning ever other spiritual value you espouse.

You have to ask?

It's also called "Rule 9."

Looks like rule 9 does not apply here.
President Donald Trump and Intellectual Property: what can he claim as his? - Generic Fair Use

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 105 – “Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise.”[6] This means that Donald Trump, in his status as President, cannot be the “author” of any works that would otherwise be subject to copyright protections. All of his speeches? All of his tweets? All of his images from television appearances? All of his proposed legislation or outlines? Not copyrighted. As a matter of law, it is in the public domain upon creation.

I noticed many religious people claim they support Trump because he will give them the judges they want. I'm sure they do not see him as a fellow Evangelical...just someone willing to do something for religion....in a political kind of way of course.

Interesting point. I fear making a deal with the devil to defeat the devil doesn't work out well... for anyone... but the devil.

I asked you for a link to material you quoted without crediting. This was a reasonable request, yet you want to be churlish. And I’m not really sure why you want to argue about this. My guess is that you are not an attorney who specializes in intellectual property or copyright law.

In case you’re unaware of this, while the laws struggle to keep up with new technologies, you can depend on those who set the requirements for bibliographic platforms to have a say, and they do. Check out your own favorite—APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, or CBE?—and see for yourself that they each require tweets to be documented.

My only interest is in protecting DP. And my point on Rule 9 was larger than Trump and his tweets. Tweets are intellectual property, and some are protected. Besides being good form, it’s better to be safe than sorry when borrowing others’ material and wise to provide a link.

And the rest of us aren't sure why it was so important to you to change the subject of the thread from Trump's pathetic petulant tweet to whether or not a tweet falls under Rule 9 (which, correct me if I'm mistaken, you are in charge of enforcing).

Hell, I'm not sure why it was so important to first try to pick some side-fight to criticize the OP for the alleged sin of expecting a president to do something for religion....

Here is his tweet.I guess the magazine, “Christianity Today,” is looking for Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or those of the socialist/communist bent, to guard their religion. How about Sleepy Joe? The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!

My bold on the last part.

...and then once the reason is given, to try to pick yet another side-fight by insinuating that maybe a poster made up the claim about the tweet...

Link?

...and, again, then ensuring the next six pages of the thread are full of argument about whether or not he violated Rule 9 by not providing the link immediately. Why, one might come to think you are trying to lead everyone out onto Rule 6a's thin ice.




How about we instead laugh at the pathetic idiocy of Trump - who does not read - petulantly declaring he won't read a magazine he never read anyway, and declaring it "Radical Left." Is it really that important to protect him?

I asked for a link, a reasonable request. I have no interest in protecting Trump or in laughing at what you call his "pathetic idiocy." I can only shake my head.
