    It is exactly what the title implies. “Yes, yes” is agreement, and those words are what Trump believes. Or claims to believe, assuming he has the brains to believe anything at all.

      Except you used quotation marks to intentionally mislead users.

      Either the title should be edited, or this post this should be removed.

        I guess reporting them for spreading lies won’t be useful, then…

        Those are the techniques the MAGA idiots are supposed to use. We need to do better than this.

        It amuses me what offends some folks — oh my, the quotation marks — and what doesn’t. Ta-ta, though, and keep clutching those pearls.

      Your title doesn’t just imply but clearly portrays this as a direct quote from Trump. "Trump on [topic]” followed by double quotes doesn’t leave much room for imagination.

        The distinction between saying the words and saying “Yes, yes” is nada to me, so I guess I’ll never make the team at the New York Times.
