Absolutely. The left weaponizes words by twisting them, or redefining them, to mean things that weaken and destroy their enemies. And they'll leave out words which also changes the meaning of what is said. Such as leaving out specific portrayals and delineations such as "if necessary" or:
“I will tell you this, anybody throwing stones, rocks,
like they did to Mexico and the Mexican military, Mexican police,
where they badly hurt police and soldiers of Mexico, we will consider that a firearm,” Trump said. “Because there’s not much difference. When you get hit in the face with a rock, which as you know,
that was very violent a few days ago. Very, very violent.”
And it is especially easy to use Trump's words against him because he compresses larger ideas into syntax too narrow to express what he totally means. That habit may be accentuated by resorting so much to tweets which require smaller messages. He often has to explain later what he meant.
At any rate, the policy in place re use of force more fully explains what Trump didn't. And I suspect that Trump critics know this, but will continue their tactic anyway. WDMSO sort of admits that when he says "Sure he walked it back but it’s a full time job for his staff but that’s really the point." Isn't it necessary for a presidential staff to be "full time"? And he didn't say, to begin with, that such was really the point. He just wanted to paint Trump out to be some monster.
