Doesn't sound like fleeing, sounds they are are going to have dinner.

I don't know how you've twisted your brain in a fashion that makes apples look like pencils.

You and the media are misquoting him as saying he is going to flee the country, possibly to avoid criminal prosecution.

He is literally saying it would be safer to have a meeting in another country due to decreased criminal activity and the threat of a Harris presidency.

There's a valid conversation to have around his statement. We could be discussing the crime rates in the US compared to Venezuela and the rest of the world. We could be looking at Harris' record as a prosecutor and her political agenda to this point. We could easily be debunking what he's saying to pile on more evidence that he's a liar. Instead, the public wants to go on and on about something he actually never said or even hinted at.

Moreover, what my concern here is, the public's ability to read comprehensively is deteriorating at a rapid pace. People are disinterested in taking the time to read an article and obtain true facts in preference of engaging with others over their feelings.

Having genuine dialog with others is more about listening than it is interrupting them and spewing your ideas. Everyone's reading a headline and reacting without taking the time to listen to the story, digest its meaning, consider other factors and context, then responding in a meaningful, relevant manner.

I'm personally observing a world that's becoming less interested in having real relationships. People are struggling to interact with others in real life. Ragebait is just one value in a larger more complex experience that's changing our relationships and our reality.

There's a lot of noise in our lives today. Most of it serves as a distraction. It's the constant churning of the "news" and the endless instant streaming of "content" and the pings and buzzing of our devices. If it hasn't already, this noise is becoming an addiction. Without noise, we'd be faced with calmness and focused attention.

Trump is noise. It's noise crated by him and his brand and the media organizations and influencers pining for your attention and engagement. This story is a fabrication. The story about him slurring during the interview is a misleading observation. It's a money maker for content creators because we need noise. Musk saying there was a DDOS attack is a lie and a distraction. It's the noises he's injecting into the zeitgeist to pull our attention away from something else.

We all need to be better at reading comprehension and listening. Take a moment to understand what it is you're commenting on before you just become more noise and a cookie jar for advertisers.
