My thought too. As I told my TDS mom, this wouldn't be the first time they exaggerated what he said. Saying.powerful.people get away with sexual assault became a literal admission if having committed sexual.assault a la "I, Donald I Trump, hereby confess to...". Seriously she insisted to me he said that, then tried to argue his genera comment was the same. (Has he dine it? Probably,but that wasn't an outright admission).
Or him tweeting about how he sure would like being a dictator, presumably while on the toilet, became a full-blown admission of a carefully laid out plot to repeal the Bill of Rights and install himself as dictator--and she still believes it, insisting him pardoning his own friends who got caught up in the witch hunt against him was " tearing the Constitution apart" preparatory to total Hit parish overthrow of the government.
Or how standard protest language used for eons by all sides (we're going to the capitol and we'll fight like hell) tuned I to " I want you to gather up.all your weapons and launch a full violent assault on the capitol" (but make sure you set them to self destruct later using the Russian tech all Trumpets possess so they wont actually be able to collect the truckloads of weapons to prove it).
Don't get me started on the challenges of reasoning with a 76 year old who thinks having a classified physical file is the biggest crime ever but wheeling and dealing classified info with foreign nations over insecure servers is not nearly as bad or as dangerous. Or how she truly believes the FBI agent who moved the barrier on Jan 6 was actually a pro Trump traitor who has been charged and prosecuted because in this world there is the Democrats and there is everything else, and all that isn't Democrat is good.
