I think your wrong. He said " and it's really made possible to a large extent, more of a modern phenomenon, by what's taking place on the internet, as you probably know."
A phenomenon is a rare, or significant fact or event. That's Pizzagate all day long! The fact that we refuse to go away, that we keep digging and that we're not going to stop till these sick evil people are put away. Is really why Trump's administration is really going after sex trafficking. Honestly I don't care if he's doing it because of pizzagate or something else. I'm just VERY HAPPY he's doing something to help stop it!
"human trafficking is a dire problem, both domestically & internationally. it's one that is made, really, a challenge...and it's really made possible, to a large extent--more of a modern phenomenon--by what's taking place on the internet, as you probably know."
Listen closer. He is referring to how the challenge of solving the problem of human trafficking is made possible by "whats taking place on the internet.". That's why he says "as I'm sure you all have seen." How would everyone have seen it if he's talking about underground networks?
I rewatched, because it was right to review, and a nod to the pizzagate investigation would be a fine thing indeed.
However, he did in fact say, although I must paraphrase because I don't have a transcript: "It is a problem domestically and internationally, and it is made possible in a large extent by what is happening online, which you all have seen."
He speaks about online activity in the context of "The Problem".
People are aware of these underground networks, and have been for...since the internet began really.
Maybe I am wrong, but it doesn't sound like it could be anything else to me.
You are correct, but I knew that, hence me using the word paraphrase. The gist is the same though. Here is his actual quote.
"human trafficking is a dire problem, both domestically & internationally. it's one that is made, really, a challenge...and it's really made possible, to a large extent--more of a modern phenomenon--by what's taking place on the internet, as you probably know."
Except he's talking about it in a larger context of an Internet phenomenon of which everyone in the room is aware of. Trump is intentionally vague sometimes, but his Internet comment was not in his transcript, it was off the cuff. His very next words are about how to continue solving this problem/

Eh...I don't think that was what he was referring to. I'm afraid he is referring to underground networks facilitated by the internet.
I like Trump generally, but one of my big concerns with him is that he may use "national security" to clamp down on the internet. Hopefully he won't.

If you listen, yes, that is what he said. Sorry to burst the bubble.

Thank you.

''SOLVING the problem of human trafficking is made possible by phenomenons taking place on the internet.''
abattoirdaydream ago
That isn't what he said. Maybe I missed it. I'll listen again.
Edit: Yeah, he never said that at all.

Seems to be a new trend .. just make something up... then put it in quotation marks for credibility
I_have_my_gun_ready ago
No, he's reference pizzagate. You can read my comment.
abattoirdaydream ago
Oh, that isn't new.

I lean towards agreeing with you, but at the end of the day PizzaGate is about one thing: ending human trafficking.
abattoirdaydream ago
Oh yeah. Absolutely.

Yes that was the meaning- or perhaps in reference to news of pedo busts which have been largely ignored by the lame street media.

No, this is not accurate at all.

I was referring to the inference that it referred to us or was directed at pizzagaters. But thanks for the quote.
abattoirdaydream ago
Oh. Ok. :)
GoHeadBeGoneWithIt ago
nope he said human trafficking has gotten bad and made a challenge to stop BECAUSE OF what's been happening online
idontlikesalmon ago
He says it's a CHALLENGE that is made possible in a large extent by what is happening online, which you all have seen.
