English is not HHDL's first language and sometimes idioms come out wrong.

I was dumb enough to let one of my friends convince me to see him when he was doing one of his tours in the US. Huge stadium of people. He spoke for two hours in very clear English. I would venture to say that it should be common sense, especially if you are such a public figure, to not tell a child to suck your tongue. Y’all who support him really need to take a hard look as to why you are justifying his actions so much.
