    LOL. So some guy in a crowd of thousands shouts something and the President is supposed to have heard him? I bet you even imagine CNN is completely unbiased.

    The way that I understand it the shouting was on the video that the POTUS tweeted forward. If POTUS failed to see what was on the video and he retweeted it the bad is on him not the media.

    I do not want to hear BS that Trump does read or view details. TS. If you forward something that you failed to read and it that something has a criminal threat to someone it is on you.

    click on the link in your screenshot, it will take you to youtube website and play the video just like is says

    "Video unavailable
    Watch this video on YouTube.
    Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner."

    politicalforum would be considered a "other website" - so you can only play it on youtube site

    Finally, one that actually shows it. The other one had a substantial audio delay, making it impossible to tell who was saying what.

    While Im not prepared to dismiss the liklihood that the 'white power' guy was trolling, theres no way yo be sure (theres a few of those folks still around, after all), it was indeed a very bad video to retweet support for, which Trump did.

    Thx for the link.

    Pretty sure the President did not see that and the guy was obviously trolling the anti Trumpers yelling profanities at them.

    If anyone watches that video and claims to not hear the comment, multiple times in fact, needs to have CC enabled because they are severely hearing impaired.

    If the 'synced' video is the one Trump shared, then he's a moron for doing so.

    The unsynced version (posted earlier) I had to watch about 27 times to figure out it was the golf cart guy saying it and not the 'Make America Sane Again' guy, who seemed to be trying to egg them on with it in the unsynced version.

    Either way, you'd think having removed the tweet would be an indication of lack of support for the notion...

    Yes. That's because the right wing media wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole.

    Trump posted the tweet, left it there for a couple hours as red meat to his base, then he removes it and denies he knew what he was posting - sad <or sick> guy

    I saw it on Trump's Twitter this morning. I doubt Trump did hear the "white power" comment when he posted. Obviously, this is too sensitive a time in the country in the country to give Democrats any kind of "bone" to scream "Racist!" any louder than they already are yelling. Posting was an unforced error.

    Other than that, I thought the video was hilarious! Bunch of geriatric-ish old white people, not wearing masks, screaming at each other like 20 year olds.

    The left-wing old man was yelling, "Where's your white hood? Where's your white hood? Racist!!!! Racist!!!"
    The old guy in the golf cart yells back, "Yeah, White Power!!!!" Seems like an appropriate, if sarcastic, retort to being accused of being a racist and KKK member. LOL

    The lady in the black and white top has a really nasty potty mouth, using the "F"-word repeatedly and calling everyone NAZI's....not atypical of the left. I sure wouldn't want to be around her for 10 minutes of my life.

    Old white people protesting each other. Only in America. Cracked me up! :roflol:

    Looks like a typical trump voter.

    I am beginning to think Hillary’s “deplorable” remark wasn’t strong enough.
    I like trump’s better — filth.

    Obamacare individual mandate penalty GONE.
    My Administration is providing more affordable healthcare options for Americans through association health plans and short-term duration plans.
    Last month, the FDA approved more affordable generic drugs than ever before in history. And thanks to our efforts, many drug companies are freezing or reversing planned price increases.

    Secured $6 billion in NEW funding to fight the opioid epidemic.
    We have reduced high-dose opioid prescriptions by 16 percent during my first year in office.
    Signed VA Choice Act and VA Accountability Act, expanded VA telehealth services, walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care.
    Increased our coal exports by 60 percent; U.S. oil production recently reached all-time high.

    Cancelled the illegal, anti-coal, so-called Clean Power Plan.
    Secured record $700 billion in military funding; $716 billion next year.

    Imposed tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to protect our national security.
    Imposed tariffs on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices.
    Net exports are on track to increase by $59 billion this year.
    Improved vetting and screening for refugees, and switched focus to overseas resettlement.
    We have begun BUILDING THE WALL. Republicans want STRONG BORDERS and NO CRIME. Democrats want OPEN BORDERS which equals MASSIVE CRIME.

    I'm sure the intention was to show a bunch of peaceful Trump supporters organizing a neighborhood golf cart parade through the neighborhood to show support....and to show how crazy the left is with the constant "White hood", "Racist!" and "Nazi!" attacks from the left. If Trump would have heard the "White Power" comment, he would not have posted, as that was an obvious political mistake.

    Anyway, all's well that ends well. No crosses were burned and no blacks were harmed in the making of this video. Trump's "racist" reputation is taking the expected hit, which is on him or his campaign staff.

    Typical, turn a blind eye on the profanities and slurs of "KKK Nazis" the left was hurling at him that precipitated his obvious sarcasm, but it was unwise of him to play into it in any way.
