I don’t know if he gets out of this hole.

Have you always been such a drama queen on FreeRepublic?

I've stopped donating to FreeRepublic because I have seen variations of that line posted way too many times here.

Hey Einstein, there is such a thing called free speech in this country, even speech that we don’t like. That said, he did call out all the bad guys on both sides. You must be following CNN to not know that.

Alright Shoop answer this. Can a Virginian protest for keeping Lee’s statue in Lee park and at the same time not be a racist white supremacist?

So ignore the business councils being disbanded, ignore the statues and plaques that have been torn down, ignore whatever makes you feel uncomfortable, but try not to ignore that Trump is a worse, weaker position than he was last week because he can’t control his mouth. Today could be a celebration of forcing North Korea to back down, but instead it is just 100% race talk, which is not helpful, not winning.

Nobody in the media was going to be talking about North Korea anyway.

Who gives a sh!t about "race talk?" I'll tell you who: professional malcontents who make up about 1% of the population of this country. Why do you think these demonstrations are happening in places like Berkeley and Charlottesville? Because they're college towns where people live in bubbles and don't have a clue what real Americans are facing.

Is Trump really in a worse, weaker position today than he was last week? What does that mean ... that the GOP isn't going to pass an ObamaCare repeal bill? Oh, wait a minute ... they already f#%&ed that one up, didn't they?

The fact that he can’t control his mouth is what got him elected president. People that control their mouths are freaking liars, Trump told the truth by condemning both sides but the MSM and Dems jumped on it with a “gotcha” moment.

They won’t stop until real blood is shed. Bet on it.

They are scared to be in any way connected to Trump...........

Correct. Trump is becoming increasingly isolated. It takes teams to win. Trump is a CEO type using to barking orders and has not demonstrated that he has the needed political skills to persuade and secure a network of allies around him to reinforce his views. Thus he is the Lone Ranger out there tweeting to his base.

I don't care who he calls out! He has to know the media is after him so he should've just called out the Nazi's

Don't give media & #NeverTRUMPers any ammo!

I wonder if there is a way he can make the economy great and exclude all these idiots from the benefits. For every one that quit, he should meet with their competitor and ask how he can help them.

So he should just bend over to the media? Bow down at the PC alter to make liberals happy? Not his style and not why he was elected.

All I say is pray for his safety, and your own, and arm up. This will not end well.

Public relations. Razzle dazzle. Waste of time and energy. Now maybe he can focus on doing more strictly presidential things without all the fol-de-rol.

This was so predictable & totally avoidable!

He called out both sides. You’re watching CNN too much.
