So your no choice reply was B.S. as you don't want to condemn him either. He might have more black friends that is possible. I don't know how well he is really liked and how many friends he has.

As usual the "defense" includes denying any possibility of Trump doing anything wrong, then switching to some version of he was joking/trolling/mocking/didn't know, and will finally settle down on the "so what?" slot. Other than, there's the usual running interference bits - Some bogus claims about Obama, an irrelevant and unverifiable anecdote or two, inane complaints about MSM when it's a post put up by Trump. And so on and so forth. Even if one accepted your version, what's the added value of the President's post? I mean other than the "boiling" and "steering" you denied earlier? 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably don't know if any of them improbable friends jumped ship. And this got nothing whatsoever to do with the topic. Sort of how Trump rolls. Faced with an issue or with criticism, he'll generate some nonsense in an attempt to divert attention. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that the first defense was that "the president didn't watch the video". The "White Power" chant is six seconds in. Then the tweet was removed. While heinous, and revealing of the true nature of the president, it's still not enough to distract from the Putin/Bounty-gate debacle. Not sure that golfing with lindsey is a good look during a pandemic? But maybe they can come up with something else in the way of a cover-up, distraction or deflection?

When one side owns a runs the media don't believe everything that is put out there. By the way I have no affiliation to either side I am just a passive observer. I think you have got that wrong. No one is trying to make President Trump look like a devil. He is doing that job very well on his own. Anyone retweating a "White Power" message as President is just looking for trouble! It is not true that the media are "owned" by the Democrats (that is what you mean by "one side"?) - I wonder if you have ever heard of Fox News and it affiliates - perhaps you ought to be a little less passive and read a little. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess will be exactly zero, but they will surely have BIG opinions about it. Seen it and wonder how the president of the supposed most powerful nation on Earth can possibly think it appropriate to retweet. It was impossible not to hear the words "white power" so he either agreed with or saw nothing wrong with the expression. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted June 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2020 45 follows his impulses, as he seems to lack even a modicum of self-control or personal discipline, and that continually sets his acolytes scrambling. They now have it down to a defined set of excuses and explanations, like: -He didn’t know (this video he re-Tweeted) -He was joking (Bleach/Lysol, Covid-19 testing) -Nobody told him (Taliban-Russia) -He meant “wouldn’t” (Helsinki) All of these, of course, are of questionable veracity, but what makes it worse is that 45 often gets in the way of his own excuse-makers, as he did last week with what was first described as a ‘joke’ (cut back Covid-19 testing), but later 45 said “I never kid”. Acolytes then have to re-spin what they've already spun. In any event, even this latest excuse (he didn’t know) is not the least bit comforting, because it says that someone with the theoretical power one has as POTUS doesn’t take the time to properly vet something he is going to send out to the world in his name. The now-deleted Tweet contained a video where, at the very beginning of it, a man in a golf cart, the focal point of the video, raises his fist and yells “White Power” clear as day. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did not hear the one statement made on the video. What he did see was tremendous enthusiasm from his many supporters." And that’s the problem isn’t it. trump does not pay attention, he doesn’t bother with details, he puts no thought into anything he does, he saw a bay of faces yelling that he believed liked him, that stroked his ego, that made him feel good, so he posted it. No wonder his presidency has been a debacle. Edited June 29, 2020 by Bluespunk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavideol Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 the guy is a lost case, if he got 5 cents of a brain he should resign/quit, like the other Republican did, he still has a little more than 1 month to make the right decision (On 9 August 1974, Richard M.

spidermike007 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Trump does this to himself. He shoots himself in the foot daily. He just cannot help it. His blind hatred, and his divisiveness compels him to behave in an ignorant manner. Now, after all of the social unrest, and with a vast majority of Americans being supportive of police and social reform, he is completely out of touch, appears to be a dinosaur and a relic, and is falling out of favor with even his own base. Trump fatigue is setting in, in a big way. He is utterly desperate, and sees the end coming alot faster than he would have liked. Bye, bye Don. Few will miss you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
