Trump: "People forget about Ferguson" under Obama...

Just watching Trump on Laura Ibgraham, FNC.

It's an answer to liberal propagandists arguing that "it's under Trump's watch..."

Interesting to note. Ferguson, is closely pronounced as FORGETTING in German...

True. Though it’s spelled “vergessen” but the V is pronounced as an F.

People don’t seem to remember the riots at the 2000 Democrat Party convention in Los Angeles.

America’s enemies count on people having very short memories.

This is the wrong messaging.

The riots are continuing because Democrats are soft on crime. Say it over and over.
