Trump says his supporters were 'violent'
CNN ^

Posted on 12/17/2016 12:36:43 PM PST by Stopthethreat

Orlando, Florida (CNN)President-elect Donald Trump said Friday his supporters were "violent" during the 2016 campaign.

Trump made the admission Friday night during a rally here on the Florida leg of his "Thank You" tour. During the campaign, he repeatedly downplayed violent outbursts his supporters displayed at times toward protesters and insisted that paid activists were instead responsible for inciting violence at his rallies. "You people were vicious, violent, screaming, 'Where's the wall? We want the wall!' Screaming, 'Prison! Prison! Lock her up!' I mean you are going crazy. I mean, you were nasty and mean and vicious and you wanted to win, right?" Trump said Friday. "But now, you're mellow and you're cool and you're not nearly as vicious or violent, right? Because we won, right?"

He was being sarcastic, and the audience was eating it up.

Verbally, he wasn’t able to insert the /s. He’s trolling the feeble minded again.

He’s praising his supporters for putting up with all the smear tactics leftists threw out there during the campaign. Really, anyone with a high school education should be able to decipher this if they desired.

You aren’t a troll but you joined last month? Oooookay.

We aren’t violent. If you and CNN can’t understand sarcasm, we Deplorable can’t do much else except point out that fact.

He was mocking every idiot that claimed his supporters were violent.

His sarcasm went right over your head.

Pay no attention to the abusive replies to your posting. There are a lot of smartasses on this site who believe tenure is a measure of wisdom.

He was acturally talking about the violence of the leftists who tried to start fights and beat up and cornered helpless women and older people to do what violent leftists always do, destroy and murder innocent people.

[One of the inevitable characteristics of the self claimed super high IQs of liberals is that they are unable to process irony or sarcasm or even simple puns. That is why there is no humor in them.]

So very true. Bless you for saying the truth, they are humorless anarchists and liars for the most part.

"Then again, maybe the ‘one drop’ rule will suffice."

That's an excellent and difficult question. Is being 'sort of mentally libtarded' like being 'sort of pregnant?'

But then also, even if it is a binary thing ... one can be one month pregnant or eight. Can one be 43 years libtarded? Of course ... but are they more libtarded than they were when they were only 18 years libtarded?

When Hillary dies, will she still be libtarded? Well of course, you might say, because she will still be voting for democrats.

Finally, we have words like 'vertically challenged' for dwarves and midgets. What is the PC vernacular for 'mentally libtarded'?

If only we could ship a few US states to venus.

Yeah - I agree there is a section of the leadership that's bought in too ... isn't just weaving conscious lies, but is fully participating in the hypnosis.

I lived in and around and worked in Boston and Cambridge for a long time.

The fundamental thing I notice about that type of liberal is that ... they seem to believe that by merely living near Harvard and MIT, they need not be encumbered by a rigorous (or any) critical thinking process. And we KNOW that about liberals ... but it's different with them. It's "SINCE I am from Boston, therefore, whatever thought pops into my head, if I like it, is automatically already correct, otherwise it wouldn't have occurred to me.' So in their mind the debate is already won because ... it's their position, and they thought of it, and you're too stupid to conceive that it would be nice if everything always had nice equal abundant outcomes. Or that you're too stupid to see that a free living income would be awesome and we should just implement it but we can't because of the ... corporations doing their corporationy things. End of discussion.

Wikid Bizaaahhhhh!

So the Boston ones ... it's not that they lack the IQ to think critically, they just have no humility and therefore mistake the potential to think critically as if it's something that magically has taken place before the idea arrives in their consciousness. It would be funny if it weren't so destructive.

But to listen to people be so factually wrong and yet so sure of themselves ... they are like cartoons.

“Is being ‘sort of mentally libtarded’ like being ‘sort of pregnant?’ “

I’m almost sure it is. I have yet to run across a case of mild libtardation.

The world waits and wonders, ‘will we ever find a cure?’

CNN never puts out anything that is true.
