Trump's position, such as it is, is self-contradicting and demonstrably weak; as The Washington Post's Daniel Drezner notes, Trump is now asking for what the previous U.S. administration got; he has proven he'll back down from a military confrontation at the eleventh hour; and he is increasingly making Iran's nuclearization more likely, not less.

While the U.S. Navy responds to one of its worst accidents in decades, London copes with another terror attack, and the war in Syria threatens to entrap U.S. forces into its quagmire, Trump's attention was on Jay Sekulow, the self-contradicting, media-blitzing lawyer who can't seem to get his story straight on whether the president is under investigation for obstruction of justice.

I've learned more about literature in German, Persian, and Arabic from this book than from any dozen others I can think of — about Attar and Sadeq Hedayat, Kleist and Lessing, and even about Shakespeare, for that matter, who inspires in Kermani the idea of a play as "a symphony of different, contradictory and self-contradicting voices," as good a description of Weltliteratur as you could ask for.

Gödel's incompleteness theorems show that even elementary axiomatic systems such as Peano arithmetic are either self- contradicting or contain logical propositions that are impossible to prove or disprove.

The dialogue form allows Diderot to examine issues from widely different perspectives. The character of Rameau's nephew is presented as extremely unreliable, ironical and self-contradicting, so that the reader may never know whether he is being sincere or provocative. The impression is that of nuggets of truth artfully embedded in trivia. A parasite in a well-to-do family, Rameau's nephew has recently been kicked out because he refused to compromise with the truth.

Indeed, the unfavourable evidence forces Luttwak to adopt a self-contradicting thesis. While claiming that the basic strategy of the fourth century was defence-in-depth, he admits that there were repeated attempts by the stronger emperors (up to and including Valentinian I) to revert to forward defence. This obviously casts doubt on whether a defence-in-depth strategy was ever contemplated or implemented in reality. The Romans continued to assist the client tribes to defend themselves in the fourth century e.g.

Grant convinces her that the word "kill" now means "kiss" and her symptoms subside. Hoping to stop the virus, the pair go on the air, spouting a series of self-contradicting and confusing phrases to help their infected listeners, ignoring warnings from the authorities who are trying to get them off the air. While an amplified voice from outside counts down from ten, Sydney joins Grant in the booth and they kiss. An explosion can be heard when the film cuts to black.

The theater is known to be self-contradicting in several respects, for example, in its new and old ways of processing texts, its Arab and Jewish identities, its young and old actors, and its fusion between fringe, modern and traditional theater (e.g. Shakespeare). The theater has hosted several shows and events, including the international poetry festival Sha'ar, produced by the Helicon Foundation. From 2004 until 2008 Hanoch Levin's play, You, me, and the Next War, featured pianist Bart Berman, along with the original crew that performed in the production's 1968 premier.

However, one of Vitín's trade moves is to ask questions about the guest's personal likings and agree with whatever the guest says, even self- contradicting himself or his values if the guest says something that Vitín has not expected. For example, Vitín might go to the extreme of saying he hates wrestling if his male guest doesn't like the sport. Usually the interview ends with a blatant pass or physical gesture that embarrasses the guest (a typical one is Vitín standing up, turning around and pump up his muscles with his backside to the guest, flaunting his derriere to him). Usually guests play along until they cannot follow the joke any longer.
