Focusing on an Overlooked Snippet of Trump's Most Infamous Statements to the Press Yesterday

After talking at length about his first and second statements in regards to the Charlottesville travesty and tragedy, Trump is asked: "Can you tell us how you're feeling about your chief strategist, Mr. Bannon? Can you talk about that?"
Answer: I never spoke to Mr. Bannon about it.
Now I'm thinking: you're answering, very quickly and defensively, a question that wasn't asked. Every mom trying to get to the bottom of what REALLY happened amongst her kids would immediately turn her attention to this, thinking, "He must have had long, intense talks with Mr. Bannon about this particular matter, talks of an embarrassingly revelatory nature that could be earth-shattering were they to become public."
Hmmmmmmm.
