Comment on the argumentative tactics used by the person addressed in this statement and discuss their perception of the lawyer's motivations.
No: you inflated sense of yourself not withstanding, you didn't force me to do anything -- any more than I forced you to describe Trump as an a-hole. But you have caused me to change my mind about your claim that you are a lawyer. I think you probably are a lawyer. For you, winning an argument seems more important than telling the truth. For you, threading the needle between "liar" and "bullsh*tter" is more important than acknowledging that Trump's tweet was reckless and irresponsible; that he accused without supporting facts or evidence; that not caring whether something is true is the moral and functional equivalent of lying; that Trump has lied repeatedly in the weeks following the tweet.  You say that you think he's an a-hole; but that's easy and has no content. do you recognize him as reckless and incompetent? Or are you using a-hole as your shorthand for reckless, incompetent and dangerous?
