    Option 1) It was a joke.

    Option 2) Its not what I really mean, all I really ment was that I beat her in Tekken 3. Only my clever cult people really knew what I meant. Those stupid socialist communist democrats are too stupid and are trying to rigg the election.
    Nah man, I agree with your point. That's why I said it really should've been phrased better.

    People in a position of power have the responsibility to moderate their speech and avoid misunderstandings.

    I get what you mean, and I agree.

    I was really just talking about the wording in his original Tweet, not the contents.

    There we go. Now Trump should have been a lot more concise with his wording originally, but this is an example of presumption of guilt culture I loathe. It's now got a social media giant playing god on what is acceptable speech. Now that it's been clarified that he wasn't "glorifying violence" will Twitter remove the quarantine measure on the post? This entire process can be avoided by doing the sane thing, questioning the individual to clarify what they meant like bloody adults.
    Yeah when I read that Tweet that was one possible interpretation that came to my mind.

    "Looters will be shot" If you are not a troublemaker, you have nothing to fear.

    But yeah, really should've been phrased better.
