These are animals." Is this statement out of context Princess? Out of context is a term that you would use if, for example, someone was interviewed and said something that was later quoted, but without some of the info in the story that would help the reader understand what the person really meant. For example, if a senator is quoted as saying, "I beat my wife ... . " it seems to mean one thing, but if the rest of that part of the interview was about playing chess with her but that information isn't included with the quote, then the quote is misleading because it was taken out of context. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. " I hate immigrants, I hate legal immigrants, I hate illegal immigrants--Latinos are criminals, rapists, murderers, Criminal gang members"-- trump has made money off illegal Latin American immigrants for decades on his business properties-- they have built them, they served on them, and they made much of his business possible. trump has benefited from illegal Latino immigrants for decades and now he wants to be seen as the person who is most against them, and wants to stop them from coming in. trump didn't invent lying hypocrisy, but he certainly is the poster boy for it.
