Trump on mass shootings: 'Hate has no place in our country'
The Hill ^ | 08/04/19 | Jordan Fabian

Posted on 08/04/2019 2:04:17 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

President Trump on Sunday declared “hate has no place in our country” after a pair of back-to-back mass shootings over the weekend rocked the nation.

“Hate has no place in our country and we're going to take care of it,” Trump told reporters in Morristown Airport before departing for the White House after spending the weekend at his New Jersey golf resort.

Trump was speaking publicly for the first time about the deadly shootings. He ignored shouted questions about whether the El Paso shooter’s anti-immigrant manifesto shared similarities with his rhetoric and said the shootings are part of “a mental illness problem.”

He said he would deliver a lengthier statement at 10 a.m. Monday at the White House.

A gunman killed 20 people and wounded dozens more in an attack on a Wal Mart in El Paso that is being investigated as a hate crime.

Less than 24 hours later, at least nine people were killed in a shooting spree in Dayton, Ohio.

Has any Democrat NOT blamed him for the shootings?

How about a study on the psychology of mass killers without a political agenda centered on hatred for gun owners, conservatives or any other nonconforming subculture? An objective, science-based inquiry?

Okay, so I lost it there for a minute. Never mind.

Crap! Every crime is automatically a 'hate crime.'

That phrase is way overused. If I accost you on the street and demand your wallet, do you think I'm doing that because I like you?

“Hate has no place in our country and we're going to take care of it,”

Another canard from the President

Hate often leads to putting much effort into deceiving others. Look at this photo.

Start locking them up! There is zero reason for james comey and hillary clinton not to be indicted. It is their ilk that are fomenting the hate and destruction of the rule of law. Mr. President if we are going to fix this then we must hold these traitorous criminals accountable. Start with the things we can fix. Arrest them and see how the enemy will begin to change their narrative when they start taking actual hits.

It’s part of the POTUS job to utter platitudes in public. The left won’t believe him, Trump supporters won’t leave him for saying this. It’s mostly aimed at the mushy middle, independents and undecideds for 2020.

Trump states things too broadly here. There is a proper use, subject, and object for hate. It has its place everywhere, not just in the USA.

Why do so many politicians fail to articulate clearly? Speak the truth, and hate will follow. Don’t be namby-pamby about it. Hate in all its forms is a reality until this world comes to an end. Only take care to be wise in its application.

““Hate has no place in our country and we’re going to take care of it,” Trump told reporters”

Huh? Everyone hates. Hate has every much a right to be here as envy, lust, love and greed. This whole nonsense about so-called “hate crimes” is absurd. How about just executing convicted murderers within a reasonable period of time?
