It turns out we have simply not been intuitive enough. Following Trump's visit to the Great Faith Ministries church in Detroit this morning, surrogate Ben Carson responded (well, sort of) to a reporter's questions about specific things Trump has previously said.

Mr. Carson often prefaced his answers with: "If you listened to what Donald was actually saying….". Huh?

So that's the answer. Mr Trump doesn't say what he actually means….and the problem is us, because we haven't been divining his ramblings correctly. Well, that makes things easier because, even before we figure out what Trump is "actually saying", we can at least conclude that his words mean something else.

That'll be helpful for the congregation this morning who heard Trump talk about a new "civil rights agenda for our time".
