This was a massive strategic error on Trump's part. He's going to get torn apart over this. You do not pussyfoot around with false equivocations when actual White supremacists are involved.

Has he even mentioned the victim that was killed yet and condemned the nazi that drove his car in the crowd of peaceful protesters? Weren't Trump supporters furious about Obama not calling a spade a spade?

My comment from an earlier thread-

The whole premise of support for him was "Let's elect a stupid, incompetent president just because that'll make the libtards mad and be hilarious"

It doesn't matter that he's utterly impotent as president and can't pass a single part of his legislative agenda (health care, taxes, spending cuts) with his own party in control of both chambers of congress. He made some dumbass comment defending a bunch of white nationalist trash today and it made the libtards mad, so that's all that matters. His presidency is just about coddling the fragile feelings of bigots without any substantive policy change.



No segment of people has more blatantly demonstrated the dangers of identity politics gone awry than the most hardcore of Trump supporters. Ironic, considering their self-proclaimed hatred for it.

Well, this will all be over soon if impeachment comes.

Actually, part of me is hoping for it now.  Everything just makes it worse.  Some stuff he said was right, but he should've risen above Obama's idiotic agenda and just condemned white supremacy immediately.  He should've done what Obama didn't when there was a terrorist attack.

Lol.

You are still doing that bullsh**t false equivalence. Honestly you are just as bad as Naso and Krazen.
I don't feel like it is. Both should have been condemned right away. That's how it works. Both failed.

Why am I not allowed to talk about a Democrat's failure?

Emotions are running high right now.

For what it's worth, I think Obama made an egregious tactical error in refusing to call radical Islamic terrorism what it was. It backfired spectacularly and became fuel for even more criticism.

But this is some next level sh*t. White supremacists are literally invoking Trump's name in their demonstrations and Trump is failing to distance himself from them. Trump is going full-retard on this.

Is anyone seriously shocked? By any of this?

No. We all knew he was racist for two years, except for The Saint who apparently needs it spelled out for him by Trump himself. The other Republican posters on here all seem aware though. They just don't care.

He's not a racist, he's an amoral narcissist who will shamelessly pander to whatever segment he designates as his market audience. His instincts told him to equivocate on this issue because A. One side is supportive of him, chanting his name and all that, and Trump doesn't understand why he can't be supportive of people that feed his ego. B. Left-leaning people showed up to protest, it doesn't matter that they were literally protesting fascism, his role for his market audience demands him to call out leftist protesters as violent lunatics. C. He was resentful of having to make a strong stand on a matter he doesn't feel strongly about and wanted to revert to his instincts. D. He's an idiot with no moral center and no ability to understand context and nuance.

In order to be a racist, he would need convictions. His only conviction is that his ego must be stroked at all costs.
