The MSM is SURE everyone agrees with them - because within their small minded little echo chambers everyone DOES agree with them.

The press needs to get out more often - talk to someone other than the guy one desk over.

Nope.

Trump simply retweeted a tweet by @SeanSean252.

Retweets can be confusing.

I never understood why anyone needs to go to college to be a reporter

What the hell do they study for 4 years. A high school diploma with some decent grades in English should be more than enough. That and reporting what you actually observe.

I guess the four years are needed to teach them how to fabricate stories to “save the world”.

So you might think that they’ll be going after Trump hard for posting these questionable statistics, but I suspect that they won’t want a lot of talk about this topic. Trump should post it again a week from now if they don’t bite this time and trap themselves into a national discussion on the topic of demographic crime rates.

Nope. He manually retweeted it without using the official Twitter retweet function.

He enclosed the tweet contents in quotes and prefaced it with the twitter account of the original tweet, followed by a colon.

Here’s Trump’s manual retweet:

“@SeanSean252: @WayneDupreeShow @Rockprincess818 @CheriJacobus “

Apparantly, SeanSean252 had retweeted (via the official Twitter retweet function) SexyPatriots.

Like I said, retweets can be confusing.

Tweeted. Retweeted. Manually Retweeted. Whatever.

Can we agree that the stats were wildly wrong?

And that he took some action to further spread incorrect info.

I hope Trump has now made the media rush to get accurate racial crime stats. Truly, most whites are murdered by whites. But it might be interesting to see the true national stats of white on black versus black on white crimes. Do #whitelivesmatter too?
