Trump supporters want women's right to vote removed

If I understand @Abrax_23 correctly (and Abrax, please correct me if I don’t), you’re saying that not just the truth but the whole truth matters. You seem to be asking us to compare these four statements:

a) Trump supporters advocate repealing the nineteenth amendment.
b) Some Trump supporters advocate repealing the nineteenth amendment.
c) A hundred or so Trump supporters advocate repealing the nineteenth amendment.
d) A hundred or so Trump supporters appear to advocate repealing the nineteenth amendment.

Each of these statements is true. However, (d) has the most qualifiers. At first, this statement seems inclusive of all three statements above it—that is, assuming (d) is true (a-c) must necessarily be true as well. But note the addition of ‘appear to’. This adds an element exclusive to (d).

The rest are, in ascending order, inclusive. That is, if © is true, so are (a) and (b).

Of course, there’s also the possibility that only a portion of those hundred or so Trump supporters are serious and the rest are joking. The question that @Abrax_23 seems to suggest is: which of these is not just the truth but the whole truth?
