      Notice how that quote doesn’t say that it’s a “direct quote of Trump”? That “Trump said it”? I’m calling you out on misquoting me right now, so please follow your own advice.

          Yes, and you might notice “declare” is a different word from “say”. Merriam-Webster for example has the definition 1a):

          to make known formally, officially, or explicitly

          Trumps lawyers, as his legal representatives, made his legal position known formally, officially and explicitly. Couldn’t be a better fit. So what are you going on and on about?
