Good grief

In that case, I found a comment that Nigel Farage made yesterday particularly annoying. He said:

You should always take everything Donald Trump says seriously, you shouldn’t always take things Donald Trump says absolutely literally. I think that applies very much in this case.

Not only was this comment by Farage ambiguous as to its meaning, suggesting that his own approach to this issue was disingenuous, but his willingness to excuse the impression of Trump was much worse.

Trump does not have the right to be imprecise, unclear or ambiguous. Without a doubt, lives depend on what he says, how he says it, when he says it, to whom he says it, and what he means by doing so. His words have meaning, whether he appreciates it or not.

Riffing off a well known comment about The Donald is naughty now, is it?
