          I'm fairly certain that doesn't describe anyone here. MM, for example, freely admits that Trump sometimes says dumb stuff.

            Okay, so without speculating or assuming, what reason supported by facts can you present for why Trump still suspects they're guilty?

            I know what you want the answer to be. I'm just wondering if you can actually prove it.

              I also sometimes think he's doing good, does that mean I'm not TDS?

              At any rate, I don't like bashing people over the head about stuff like that.

                      LBDS for me.

                      Fortunately I make sure that I always get an adequate amount to stave off any symptoms. You can ask Nick Peters (Apologiaphoenix) about the prescription bottle full of bacon bits that I carry for emergencies.

                      I'm always still in trouble again

                        Since the DNA and a confession has proven they are NOT guilty, then there only two reasons to continue to believe they are guilty. The first is bias against the people themselves. Since Trump doesn't know these people outside the news itself, that bias would have to be of a general nature, their height, build, sex, race. We generally call that sort of bias 'prejudice'. The second is really even more petty - Trump really doesn't like to admit he is wrong, to the point he will continue to cast doubt on their innocence, in spite of it's racist implications.

                        Either way it makes Trump unfit of office.

                            You are assuming I tried to meet your challenge. An honest person understands that there is no good reason for trump to continue to spin the possibility they are guilty and that is itself sufficient to condemn him on this.

                            You are hiding behind innocent men to protect your idol. You should be condemning Trump for continuing to cast doubt on them, and you should also be wary of the fact it is most likely prejudice against African Americans which drives him, with the second most likely reason being pure narcissism and the incapacity to admit failure, neither of which should be excusable in this case.

                              Right, you assumed your conclusion.

                                All you have is that insult it appears. I have not assumed the conclusion.

                                The 5 were exonerated with DNA evidence and a confession.

                                That is about as solid proof they are innocents there can be. Yet Trump still casts aspersions on them and their innocence.

                                Trump is therefore acting out of malice, not logic, not reason. He is motivated by some destructive force that is overriding reason. He still wants these men to suffer as if they were guilty when objectively we know as well as can be known they are not guilty.

                                There are not many things that will motivate people to continue to harbor such ill will in the light of evidence this strong, all of them tied in one way or the other to malice.

                                One very obvious malicious force that can and often does motivate such malice is racism. Given Trump is white, strongly anti immigration for Latinos and shows evidence of African American racism and the accused are latino and african american, that makes it a very likely candidate.

                                The above is not assuming the conclusion MM, it is fillowing the evidence where it leads.
