President Trump spoke to the United Nations General Assembly today in New York City, and he used a couple words that Washington Post’s global opinions editor Karen Attiah finds troubling:
Karen Attiah ✔@KarenAttiahOh, the triggering.
Chilling to hear Trump use “sovereignty” and “patriotism” as dogwhistles in his #UNGA speech.
Gives rhetorical ammunition for the nationalistic parties around the world who want to keep immigrants and refugees out.

LMAO.

And if so, why is this a problem?
Nations should have borders, and they should be able to decide who may or may not cross those borders.
Those two words really trigger me.
Let's stick to 'live ammunition' and leave the triggers to the guns.
Obviously, the face of a millennial who wants everything for nothing...and has nothing to offer in return...an airhead!!!!!!!
Sounds perfect to me.
What troubles me is that a large portion of our society is no longer united around sovereignty. Our country is lost. President Trump won’t be there forever. Btw I’m Asian American becoming citizen in 2002. This borderless state made me feel very unsecured about me and my family. I never had this feeling before. I immigrated to uncertainty
Dog whistle or not, works for me
You gotta train them
“because the UN was formed to eliminate the sovereignty of nations and to lead in the direction of forming a one-world government”
League of nations by another name
I really suck as a white supremacist and misogynist because I don't hear our dog whistles and code words that the leftists say are there. I'm so ashamed.
words we deplorables live by!!
