The image shows the order of the phrases quoted in the ad in comparison to the entire speech. The phrases were used out of order in the ad, but all of the phrases were in the original speech. 122 words quoted in the ad out of 787 total words in speech results in 15% of the total speech quoted in the ad.
Do you feel the phrases selected and quoted out of order “misrepresents” the total speech?
Beautiful retort. Too bad everything Trump says is meaningless, otherwise this would be devistating. See you at the Freedom Camps!

I’m completely stunned that we are living in a time when a Republican President and the REAGAN Foundation are trying to convince folks that RONALD REAGAN believed in tariffs and was NOT an ardent free trader.

Now if we could just get the Reagan Foundation to highlight the “context” they feel was left out? That semiconductors was a special case?
I like paragraph 6, really closes the deal about how Regan felt about tariffs in general.
A pie chart is the data youre presenting? How beautiful.
IMO they didnt like, reverse the meaning of the speech, like this classic Simpsons episode

Regan is against tariffs in both versions.
