"Why won't President Obama use the term Islamic Terrorism? Isn't it now, after all of this time and so much death, about time!"
-- Trump, Twitter 11/14/2015
"When will President Obama issue the words RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM? He can't say it, and unless he will, the problem will not be solved!"
-- Trump, Twitter 11/15/2015
"Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!"
-- Trump, Twitter 6/12/2016
"By not calling it Radical Islamic Terrorism Obama is an 'Enabler!' His P.C. will kill US all!"
-- Trump, Twitter 6/12/2016
‘You are right where the msm wants you’
actually, Trump and his veep Pence are right where the media wants them...blaming the violence on the whitest images the media can manufacture...
I think you’ll find that your Trump-bashing propaganda isn’t welcome here...
but, but, I thought this was a forum for the exchange of opinions; not just another place for snowflake groupthink...
Go crawl in bed with Ted Cruz...
if a President Cruz, or a President Jeb Bush had made the exact same speech that Trump made, you and your cohorts would be raking them over the coals for singling out the whites for blame in this situation; for proof of this, go to the thread bashing Mike Pence after he made his remarks on Sunday, which turns out to be the same sentiments expressed by Trump...
You need to read Trump’s statement again. It is not appeasement. Also, take a look at what AG Sessions said. Antifa and BLM may not have been mentioned specifically, but they are included in other hate groups. Hear me now, believe me later.
President Trump will say what he wants to say when he wants to say it.
yes of course he will; he evidently wanted to say he blamed the group that had the legal right of assembly for violence instigated by the group that had no legal reason for doing so, which is apparently what he wanted his veep to say as well...
We spend billions investigating, tracking, apprehending and terminating moslem terrorists around the world and do next to nothing about even more dangerous terrorists living and operating within our borders. Soros is the domestic Osama Bin Laden and if I were in charge, he and his organizations would be put under the microscope and eviscerated. Come on, Sessions and Trump.
The fallacy that President Trump does what Ivanka or Jared tell him to do is laughable at best.
Absolutely perfectly said Stickman.
The man who runs a multinational empire, has a look and work ethic of someone a third of his age, beat 16 Republican Candidates and the most Ruthless A-Moral American Politician in my lifetime.
Yet to people on "our" side he is some weak minded fool?
President Trump at least wants to hear Ivanka's and Jared's council, that is good enough for me.
Then why did the President change the tone of his original statement?
When something changes, it’s because something changed, and no amount of bluster is going to change that.
Then who is most likely to have prevailed on the President to change the focus of his denunciation from his original statement?
Do you have a more likely candidate, because the fact of that change is undeniable.
The “antifa are the real fascists” is the most stupid of conservative attempts at rhetoric.
Fascist does not mean stuff I don’t like.
They call themselves antifascists because that is what are. They see fascism as Whites or conservatives having any opinion or expressing any identity.
They are anti-White shock troops of the establishment. If you doubt that ask yourself in any Fortune 500 company is pushing nationalism, immigration restriction, or opposes gay marriage and tranny bathrooms.
They may feel themselves rebels but they do the establishments work: discouraging White people and/or conservatives from organizing, disrupting those events if they do actually organize.
They are not fascists. They are hateful, they are the enemy, but they are not fascist.
Call them what they are: anti-White terrorists.
What say we call them what they really are.. Communist Bastards..!!! If we can't recognized our enemy for who and what he is then how are we ever going to defeat him.??
Trump (and others) need to highlight specific videos of specific acts of violence. The video should be just a couple seconds... but with the full footage readily available and confirming the context for the short extract.
Then Trump (and others) should comment on those acts of violence and state that violence by Antifa, Violence by Martians, Violence by anyone is unacceptable, regardless of the seriousness or absurdity of their agenda.
Nonsense. The President's statement was perfectly acceptable. I'm not a nit-picker.
There's more than enough second-guessing to go around against the President from the Left and Media. Trump supporters simply don't need to indulge such impulses...
I guess you ignored President Trump’s statements over the weekend & yesterday then.
90% of the public has no friggin clue what Antifa is.
BLM is divided between violent thugs and morons like Kaperdink who just like to run their mouths.
Some public education has to take place here first.
I see no real difference in President Trump’s denunciation from the weekend to yesterday.
CNN: Trump didn’t specify the white supremacists.
FR NeverTrump & GOPe folks: President Trump didn’t call out BLM of Antifa.
Maybe he should channel his inner-German?
Antifaschistische Aktion
They are Brown-shirts, Communists, Fascists, Radical Leftists, Anti-Americans, and Anarchists and they need to be referred to as such. He can take his pick of any of those descriptions. All of them fit.
