Chris Matthews: She SHOULD be punished?
Trump: Yes
The version plastered all over TV was:
Chris Matthews: If abortion were to be made illegal again, should the woman be punished?
Trump: Yes (the rest was truncated)
Chris Matthews: She SHOULD be punished?
Trump: Yes
Hardy truthful, is it?
I know of no doctor who will walk up to a pregnant woman and tell her he is going to do an abortion on her. She must REQUEST one. Trump was right. IF it becomes illegal, then she is just as guilty as the doctor who performs it because she will break the law by seeking it. Lawbreakers should get punishment. (In case you missed it, the keyword is IF.)

You speak of headline writers or producers searching for viewers.
You did not allow a source, and suggest you try this one.

Sorry...not evading..one of my very bad habits is I do not evade or avoid, but this is a poor example of a NEWS LIE.
Trump makes up what he says are facts. Did whomever you got your transcript from sort of twist it to make headlines,....yep.
Problem is this for me..,that producer or whom ever is NOT..NOT President of the United States.
This entire war by Trump is a complete sham to convince you that all these bad things about me are lies. I assure you as someone who followed this man for years...he IS a liar.
He may not lie in his personal life..of course he has..we know that, but he lies for a purpose.
I, personally want to trust my President.
I have no idea whether you have a case ir not and frankly do not care. I watched that interview live and though Trump just tripped up his tongue and mixed words.
