Tariq is a fukking troll.
Naa I'm not gonna lie. It was entertaining listening to Tariq troll with a straight face. Tariq didn't win this debate with facts he out Alpha'd the other guy with Alpha trolling. Everytime dude tried to point out something negative about Donald, Tariq would flip it, deflect or move the goal post to Democrats. Trump never did any wrong in Tariqs eyes but the Democrats did everything wrong. That was some A1 trolling and an insult to the intelligence of anyone with common sense. Tariq messed up implying dude was a Democrat when dude made it clear he isn't fukking with the Dems. That's when Tariqs shtick fell apart a bit and Tariq got cornered in the end and said some bullshyt as an excuse to hang up. But despite the trolling Tariq just ended up looking like a Trump defender thru out the whole back and forth which proved dudes overall point.
OP said Tariq and his callers are either ignorant or are being deliberately obtuse. Tariq was definitely being obtuse to the point it felt like he was trolling with a straight face.
