    I couldn’t tell who was saying what, other than the guy in the golf cart with trump sign saying “white power”.

    Regardless of what the protesters were saying, Trump approved of his supporter, who said white power. That’s the part you guys want to ignore.

    Trump was right about shooting someone on 5th Avenue. There is a huge base of people that will stick with him no matter how reprehensible his conduct is.

    Trump had to do this to lower the bar enough that he'd no longer need a ramp to get over it.

    When you watched the video, could you identify everyone who was speaking?

    Do you agree with trump retweeting and approving of the guy saying “white power”? Do you?

    Much of this could be avoided if he stops tweeting, period.

    My ex is on FB and often tries to spin things to make me look bad. Instead of going tit-for-tat, I just deleted my account. That way it's impossible to post while annoyed or angry.

    My sibling and I don't get along. As kids, we were threatened with severe punishment if we didn't stop fighting. We did. We just pretended throughout our childhoods. As adults, we don't fight. We just stay away from one another.​

    I really wish Trump would stop tweeting. It almost never works out and people spend ungodly amounts of time arguing about what he meant or didn't mean or watched or didn't watch thoroughly, etc. I'm actually surprised his advisors haven't told him to stop tweeting. Nothing good can come from it.

    What do choice do Trump supporters have?

    Do you expect them to vote for the side that supports:
    1. Looting and burning
    2. CHAZ/CHOP taking over cities
    3. Outlawing police departments
    4. Tearing down ALL of our cultural monuments
    5. Reparations

    You tell us to vote Democrat. I look at the most violent places in America and ask WHY?

    What a coward. Why doesn’t he stand behind his “great people” and defend their racist slogans?
    It’s not like he’s fooling anyone by deleting his tweets, but he does tend to leave his peeps dangling in the wind when he has to backtrack from some brain fart.

    I haven’t seen that Biden supports those things.
    I don’t tell you to vote for anyone. But it is pretty remarkable that there is a group of long time, committed Republicans who want to make sure trump is not re-elected. Not because they like Biden but because they recognise that trump is a danger to the country.

    And your choice is to vote for someone who will protect the country (Biden) or someone who will keep tearing it apart and down (Trump).

    The trump campaign is all complete bullshit.
    The cons have one game plan- a diarrhea of lies about Biden.

    Guess they've since taken it down. But it was available as I've received a response on it. See how long this one lasts...

    Have you seen him questioned about all those things?

    Sure there are many that are entrenched in Washington that don't want things changed.

    Biden is an empty shell, if elected his party will be running the country, and they don't give a **** about what's best for the country.

    Wow, people getting so emotional about this, on both sides. I have to say the woman in the black outfit who shouted "f Trump" was also out of line.

    On another note, the trump fans in the golf carts are prime high covid death rate territory.
    -Obesity, check
    -Diabetes- highly likely
    -High blood pressure, highly likely
    -Over 65, check

    Why these people vote GOP when the GOP wants to throw them under the bus for the good of the economy, I don't know.

    I think the larger question about all of this is why the shout of 'White Power' after hearing people demeaning Trump? From what I understand about the situation, there was an anti-Trump crowd gathered with signs. So these folks in golf carts decided to drive through them - which is, of course, their right. But I find it very curious that the term white power was used as a come back to ffuck Trump.

    He seems to have a habit of retweeting things that promote racist messages.

    Why ask us? Some of us walked the "Black Power" halls when bused, where just about all had "Black Power" picks in their back pocket with or without Afro. I don't think Trump was bused to such "Black Power" halls where racism was rampant with "Black Power" picks with little fists, so he probably had no idea, like you will now confirm for him, that "Black Power" was and is RACIST.

    Nothing is wrong with if you believe you are superior to everyone who isn't white.

    Yes it is, for the simple fact when you usually see someone shouting white power someone black is being brutalized or murdered.

    Right, you couldn't hear the man right at the front of the crowd shouting, "White Power". What a disgrace.

    He must have closed his eyes and ears when he played the video, that is the only way he couldn't have seen it.

    Talk about making excuses or being in denial, you are taking it to a whole new level.
