Donald J. Trump Statement

Last night’s horrific execution-style shootings of 12 Dallas law enforcement officers – five of whom were killed and seven wounded - is an attack on our country. It is a coordinated, premeditated assault on the men and women who keep us safe.

We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street.

The senseless, tragic deaths of two motorists in Louisiana and Minnesota reminds us how much more needs to be done.

This morning I offer my thoughts and prayers for all of the victims’ families, and we pray for our brave police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day.

Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they’ve lost hope. Crime is harming too many citizens. Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. This isn’t the American Dream we all want for our children.

This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies.

A presidential-level statement. Much better than the supercilious drivel we get from the divider-in-chief.

[mothball]

No kidding. That dickhead never misses the opportunity to tell us how bad we suck in America.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Very well said. A true leader.

[showme_the_Glory]

Make America Great Again. vote Trump.

Yes, that statement is strong, classy, yet sensitive to people on all sides of this debate. Not political or divisive in any way. As opposed to Obama who launched into his gun control diatribe 1 minute and 42 seconds into his statement.

[TTFlyer]

Well, that’s appropriate.

But by this time tomorrow I want Trump, I want the entire GOP, to condemn the hatred, the racial demagoguery, the murderous violence ginned-up by Barack Hussein Obama, the ‘Rat Party, and their despicable, evil handmaidens in the Media.

The time for meaningless platitudes is over.

ENOUGH.

The political Synergy behind this attack is pretty amazing:

first they accomplish the goal of wiping off of the front page news that their presidential candidate is a chronic Criminal.

then they provided Force for renewing calls making semi auto rifles illegal.

then they kill the cops and renew the federal takeover of local law enforcement.

Pretty amazing.

[Gaffer]

Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better Curiously under the supposed "post-racial President" who set about finding every black racists, zealot, pervert and socialist he could find to taint his cabinets and agencies. Hosted so many black party events on the White House lawn they should have done and MTV "Cribs" series on it. Harped at every black death being racist and never one even thinking about the white people who have been slaughtered and murdered. yeah, the first black racist President is more like it.

[Centurion2000]

Extremely well spoken.

[headsonpikes]

“The senseless, tragic deaths of two motorists...”

Now, that’s a new way of identifying the unlucky dead.

[John Robinson]

Ugly chain of events when strung together like this.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

7.5 years later, how’s that Hopey Changey thing working out for the country?

[mkjessup]

A presidential-level statement. Much better than the supercilious drivel we get from the divider-in-chief.

When I heard that filthy Kenyan traitor yammering away about a 'despicable' attack, he sounded just like a cartoon
character we all know well, unfortunately he's still there even if we turn off the tube:

The political Synergy behind this attack is pretty amazing:

---

Couple all of what you wrote with the interspersing of BLM type lobbying yesterday during the Comey hearings.

Too much to leave to chance... The left is right in our face telling us we are coming to get you....

[patriotspride]

Go Donald. Pure class and leadership.

[TADSLOS]

Pretty amazing.

But hardly unexpected. This is straight out of the leftist Alinsky playbook. Flood the zone. Create crisis in a string of incidents. Deflect and blame. Call for action. Rinse. Repeat.

[Don Corleone]

VOTE TRUMP

Back just announced the Cruz would be speaking on his show this morning.
