Person 1: I had to steal, my mother is sick!
Person 2: Wow maybe I should go stealing things next time my mom is sick too!
Person 1: “I had to speed because I was late to my meeting.”
Person 2: “Great, so it’s okay for everyone to break the law whenever they’re running late?”
Person 1: “We postponed our elections because we are at war and under martial law”
Person 2: “Cool, I hope my country is at war next election season!”
This kind of retort is called a reductio ad absurdum, and I think you people are missing it because you have such a strong confirmation bias against Trump. The sarcasm is extremely clear. He’s pointing out the absurdity behind Zelensky using martial law to postpone elections by using himself as an example, knowing that that would be a problem and that people would see it that way.
