President Trump,

Thank you. The American people have your back, in the most literal sense possible. Carry on.

The press is manipulative.....toward end of conference, a woman reporter asked President to clarify....’are you saying White Supremacists are treated unfairly?’ She knew darn well he didn’t say that but thought she could get him to ad lib and accidentally say something she could sensationalize. Media makes me sick!!

Take your nuance and shove it up your butt. We’ve had enough of namby-pamby surrender-monkey nonsense from the Republicans. The Left is out to destroy them and our nation in the process. President Trump is about the only man in Washington standing up to them and fighting for us. You are a disgrace.

My immediate thoughts and prayers are with the wounded and with the families of the fallen and with those who live and serve at Fort Hood.

These are men and women who have made the selfless and courageous decision to risk and at times give their lives to protect the rest of us on a daily basis.

It's difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas. It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an army base on American soil.

I've spoken to secretary Gates, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, and I will continue to receive a constant stream of updates as new information comes in.

We are working with the Pentagon, the FBI, the department of homeland security all to ensure that Fort Hood is secure and we will continue to support the community with the full resources of the federal government.

In the meantime, I would ask all Americans to keep the men and women of Fort Hood in your thoughts and prayers.

We will make sure that we get answers to every single question about this horrible incident and I want all of you to know that as commander in chief, there's no greater honour but also no greater responsibility for me than to make sure that the extraordinary men and women in uniform are properly cared for and that their safety and security when they're at home is provided for."

I saw that, but I was looking for more specifics about their permits which had supposed to have been issued. Times, size etc, and when it was granted since the city tried to refuse the other permit for the unite the right.

The city did not try and refuse permits for the Unite the Right Rally. They did try to move it from around the Lee statue to another site, claiming that there wasn't sufficient room. That was what the rally organizers took to court - assisted by the ACLU by the way. And the judge ruled that they could meet where originally planned.

As for the left's permits, the article clearly says that they had permits put didn't provide any details. On the other hand, other than location it didn't provide details on the Unite The Right rally permit either.

If indeed they did get a permit then the city has a lot of responsibility giving them that permit since they knew the size, and scope of this crowd. The permit could have easily have been given to them for the other side of town at a different time , or different day.

And Unite the Right could have marched miles away from the Lee statue, as the city wanted. But it kind of defeats the idea of demonstration and counter demonstration. If the city underestimated anything it was the overwhelming desire on both sides for a violent outcome. They certainly weren't responsible for that.

Agree! The media relishes in creating conflict between people. They care only about creating a sensational story, hoping to ‘scoop’ other reporters and gaining ratings. imho, patriotism is not a top priority for the American media.

Liked how he slapped around the detestable John McCain.

Yes. It’s clear that he considers McCain something a little less worthy of respect than dog poop that you’d scrape off your shoes (and deservedly so).

Um, they sure as hell were. If they did indeed issue permits for the violent leftists for the same location, as stated in the article, what did they think was going to happen?

well who should I believe.
The link you gave with the name of progress stating they had a permit whilst the President has just stated they did not , and I ma sure he has more info than the local liberal paper you gave to freepers.

I’m going with the president on this one and what he states, which was never refuted by any of the MSM

He did well.

I would have added:

"I am still waiting for the fake news media to demand that pRESIDENT soetoro denounce Black Lies Matter after 2 of it's members murdered 8 police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge. He hosted this racist, black supremacist terrorist outfit numerous times at the WH, coordinating their violence and funding them with taxpayer money.

BTW, Black Lies Matter and antifag used violence to shut down my campaign rallies and events where Conservatives were to speak.

They assaulted my innocent supporters and police officers and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage."

Yeah right. Keep telling yourself that.

This is the Trump I voted for, this is fighting back.

Next time maybe don't jump the gun so quickly with the knee-jerk hysteria. You do it constantly, to the point of aiding and abetting the Enemy.

Here's you four hours ago:

I’m so far off the Trump train now, I can’t even hear its whistle.

So I guess you're back on now?

How about a modicum of patience for the man? He's up against an array of enemies the likes of which no President has ever seen, and all you can ever do is play armchair quarterback.

The President deserves more loyalty than that. He's earned it dozens of times over.

I'm sure you'll jump back off the Trump Train again the moment he deviates one iota from your rigid expectations...

After issuing permits for violent rightists? Neither side put on the permit that they planned to beat the crap out of the other side, though both sided showed up intending to do exactly that.

The President is exactly correct on this. Both sides deserve condemnation for the violence that occurred. Both came looking for trouble. Both got what they were looking for.
