Stephen Miller, Trump advisor, absolutely loses his mind when journalist José María Del Pino asks him where he gets his information about Venezuela's supposed low crimes rates.

The rest of the paragraph?

It was probably the best result he could expect. And that is before the interview became viral and millions upon millions got to hear his whole speech delivered. The journalist is well intentioned, but the result is catastrophic.

Replace the word "won" with "got what he wanted from"

I don’t know what you guys are seeing, but it is quite clear that Trump’s guy ~~won~~ got what he wanted from this exchange. It was probably the best result he could expect. And that is before the interview became viral and millions upon millions got to hear his whole speech delivered. The journalist is well intentioned, but the result is catastrophic.

So if I change what was literally said, it means something else. Yes, that's usually the case.

What is your definition of won? Because that's what it means.

My definition of it being "quite clear" that he "won" in this case is that everyone agrees. We do not all agree.

What did the journalist gain by confronting him? Nothing we didn't already know.

That would highly depend on the journalist's audience and their intent in asking the question. Considering he was Venezuelan and representing a Spanish-language outlet, I'm guessing he wanted it on record that Trump was making shit up about Venezuela.

It is good to have these things on record, isn't it?
