    White House: Trump was 'just riffing' about late Rep. John Dingell 'looking up' from

    The White House on Thursday said President Trump was “just riffing” when he suggested at a Michigan rally that Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell’s late husband, Rep. John Dingell, was in , “looking up.”

    “It was a very, very supportive and wild crowd,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “And he was just riffing on some of the things that had been happening the past few days.”

    Grisham described Trump as a “counter-puncher” who is “under attack.” During his campaign and since taking office, Trump has made many inflammatory statements that he or his press secretaries explained away as jokes.

    John Dingell, the longest serving member of Congress in U.S. history, died in February at age 92.

    At a rally in Battle Creek, Mich., on Wednesday night, Trump brought up the late congressman and his widow, who now holds his seat and voted, along with almost all the House Democrats, for impeachment.

    “Debbie Dingell, that’s a real beauty,” Trump said, noting he was watching her on television during the impeachment proceedings.

    The president said he gave the Dingell family the “A-plus treatment” after John Dingell’s death, falsely claiming he allowed him to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda. Trump then depicted an emotional phone call with Debbie Dingell, with her thanking him for his consideration and telling him that her husband was “thrilled” looking down from heaven.

    “Maybe he’s looking up,” Trump said, drawing some moans from the crowd in Michigan, a state Dingell represented for more than 59 years, although his district was in another part of the state.

    While it was an inappropriate thing to say, it is funny to see how his opposition paraphrases his comments

    Common formula is to take something benign that trump says and paraphrase in to something bad, or take something bad that he says and paraphrase it in to something worse. Orange man bad, mean, rude

    They didn't have to paraphrase it at all man. That was exactly what he meant, and everyone knows it.

    Please spell out exactly how this was misleading.

    Nothing.

    Trump was clearly implying he might be in after implying he was in heaven.

    Nothing you say can change that.

    but you're still trying because you love him.

    there's literally nothing else that can be inferred from that.

    You guys proved that with your lame spin attempts.

    You see, the real cause for outrage is when people on the internet paraphrase objectively bad comments by the President of the United States.
