I think it's just as well to point out that Trump condemned the shootings as cowardly and said he stands with the people who live in that particular town.
One of the shooters was killed by police, the other is in custody and will likely face the death penalty.
The POTUS, no matter who he is, has a strong voice. His words are a Starting Gun.
Of course Trump has promoted hate, and violence.
Perhaps all of these ancient diminished mentally capable baby boomers need to be put to bed. Biden mentioning the tragic evens happening in Houston and Michigan.
WTH is going on here....do these people exist in some alternate universe?
In reality he is in part.
Someone said here... "Humans tend to "mirror" one another's behavior.", and there is a lot of true to that. Humans have this thing where they start to follow trends set by other more prominent humans.
This is mostly because a good portion of people -- especially in America -- are complete morons who are just swayed back and forth by the things they see and read, and also by their affiliations and social circles.
For example, when Trump started to praise Putin early in this administration, many republicans started to replicate the things he was saying. Imagine that, republicans praising a pseudo-communist dictator. How is this possible? Well because they are following in line with that trend.
The POTUS does set the temperature on many issues, especially for the droves of morons and idiots that walk the streets of this country, who don't have the ability to discern things for themselves
The POTUS does set the temperature on many issues - but he didn't say, 'hey Joe Blow, shoot up a bunch of immigrants!'
Not a bit. In most cases he did not say what the fake news says he said. The left has a lot of responsibility in fake news reporting on how there is no issue with illegals coming over the border and constantly saying its whites falut ect. This is going to back lash and is. The left is hoping it will turn things in their favor, I don't think it will. One of the shooters manifesto's had a bunch of left wing eco nut things in it right out of Ted Kazinskis book.
but he didn't say, 'hey Joe Blow, shoot up a bunch of immigrants!'
Nor does he have to. This is why the POTUS has to be especially measured in the things he says.
For example, when the POTUS made the stupid comments about Charlottesville, white supremacy groups were fawning and salivating over his comments. To me his comments were not that bad, but they were stupid enough, that it gave fuel to the hate of his audience.
This goes against this idea that having a president who thinks and speaks with the carelessness of an average Joe on the street, is somehow a good idea.
Unfortunately, the fake news typically does not report in context. POTUS said nothing wrong regarding Charlottesville. And people love to promote incorrect misconceptions against the President.
Trump once again CLEARLY spoke out against these killers and their philosophy. Still , you will have morons say Trump is a white nationalist.
It’s impossible to reason with nitwits.
Nor does he have to. This is why the POTUS has to be especially measured in the things he says.
ABSOLUTELY!
Every POTUS is like a human Starting Gun.
What they say MATTERS!!
I believe Obama created more racial strife than any President in recent history. He encouraged blacks vs. the police. He always supported race vs. law enforcement. If anyone is responsible for racial disharmony, it’s Trump’s predecessor. He could have been a healer. Instead, he took opportunities to exacerbate situations.
