What a stupid thing for him to say. I just can't find the motivation to think his comments are anything to fret over.

You are an idiot then.

Most likely. I'm more concerned with actually addressing the problem instead of being mad that the person who holds a seat that I don't respect didn't condemn the problem well enough because condemnation is an empty action. Not to mention that I'm so used to him making moronic, off-the cuff remarks that it barely even registers with me anymore.

Or did he say something along the lines of cancelling the civil rights investigation because both sides were violent? Now that would piss me off.

Also note the OP. You can't call people idiots without telling them why.

He is normalizing terrorism against his own people and openly supporting the wrongdoers.

He is the most powerful man on this planet and he has unilateral authority to engage in nuclear war.

I'm scared, this isn't cool.

I'll show myself out. I don't have the patience to regularly engage in this thread. Low stamina! Sad!

The big issue here is the chair he sits in. Whether you respect the seat or not doesn't matter because it's not about any individual. The guy is the commander in chief of, and represents 300 million people. He's the leader of the free world. Our allies look to him to be strong. Our enemies look for cracks in his amour.

It must suck to condemn something only to be told that you openly support it because you also condemn something else. Honestly, I think that Trump just thinks that Southern whites are all racist and is trying to cater to them.


So we're gonna get invaded or what? What is the difference between now and the hours before he made the comment? Is this the nail in the coffin or just another piece of the bed?

Once the smoke clears I predict his approval dips down to 30%. The GOP house and senate are going to distance themselves from him like crazy. After what he said on Saturday, the scripted BS he said yesterday was starting to calm the storm. After today the country's in a category 5 hurricane.

China will watch this. Russia will watch this. North Korea will watch this. ISIS will watch this. And they will all laugh and realize that Trump is in the process of tearing the USA apart at the seams.

Have you watched it yet? Far and away the 2nd most insane and surreal political press conference I've ever seen. The 1st being Budd Dwyer of course

It's telling that David Duke immediately took to Twitter to gushingly thank Trump for what he said. Mark my word, this ****storm is not going away anytime soon and the fallout is going to be severe.

Did you see where Trump yesterday tweeted a cartoon of a train crashing into a person with a CNN bobble head? This just days after a neo-nazi crashed into a crowd and killed someone?

Those countries will likely be surprised by the bored hyperactive child that is the modern day news cycle. Drop in the bucket sure, but I don't see it tipping just yet.

Weirder yet is that it was an impromptu Q&A session. That's weird as **** for a president.

I give it a week. News stories don't last that long these days.

This is breaching new levels of my not caring. I bet he didn't even catch the connection tbh.

Have you seen it?

There's news stories, and then every now and then there's a NEWS story.

No matter what Trump has done in the past, he's had apologists. So far, hours after the fact, not a single GOP politician or member of Trump's staff are expressing anything but absolute shock.

Trump's going to go to bed tonight and pray that North Korea fires off a nuke. That's the only thing that could make this go away anytime soon.

Have you seen it?

Just saw a picture of the new Chief of Staff John Kelly standing behind Trump while he was ranting, and the guy looked like he wanted to bum rush Trump and pummel the guy.

Richard Spencer just tweeted: Thank you Mr. Trump for your honesty.
