"Well, if I wanted to embarrass Trump here’s what I would do. I would go stand with a bunch of Trump supporters. And then when the moment was right, I’d yell “white power.”

...... Sure ..... It could very well have been a setup .... But unfortunately .... If you are a President trying to recover what is left of your black supporters .... Believe it or not .... I really don't think the best thing to do is to send out a tweet of a video of a guy yelling "White Power." ....... This went all around the world ... and there is no taking this one back .... Heck ... Even if the guy was just joking ..... Sleepy Basement Joe will be all over this one .... And will make some very good Political Ads for the Left.

Saul Alinsky himself invented that trick, only he had someone in a full Ku Klux Klan get-up shouting affirmations during any Conservative gathering. It was so effective that to this day, many people think of them as conservatives.

Then endless protesting and statue removal is supposed to make people vote for Trump.

I think it's backfiring because people think Trump is out, then all this craziness will stop. As Bill Cosby once said, "Parents aren't interested in Justice, they just want quiet!" Say what you will about Bill, but he's right about that!

Right. And I can image even worse things that could have been shouted. Evidently Trump is not running his tweets past anyone before sending them out. That’s his right, of course. But it’s reckless, and just asking for trouble.

“It was a leftist plant.. Bet on it.”

Why would Trump promote leftists?

..... And unfortunately Twitter could very well see this as Hate Speech ..... And could now move to deactivate the el Presidente's account ..... And in the mean time the Democrats are just salivating at what they can do with this tweet .... Remember ..... There is no mercy out there waiting for Pres. Trump .... We are at a Civil War footing .... His re-election bid just got a lot tougher .... And this time he has nobody to blame but himself ....

Twitter will never ban Trump. The publicity fallout would be disastrous. But I can easily see them editing or deleting individual Tweets as an alternative.

>>After one man yelled “racist, racist,” a Trump supported shouted back “white power!”

Positively identified as a Trump supporter?

In that provocative situation the term “White Power” meant little more than
A defense of the position Whites had rights too.

Look at the comments from the other side, and “White Power” ceases to be
Problematic at all.

Just nonsense...

Someone could spend the next years teaming Black Power and it would never be an issue.

Time to topple the statue to double standards.

If Trump is retweeting videos that include chants like “f– Trump,” then clearly he is endorsing that sentiment.

Who knew?
