Fuck Trump!

He may as well be behind the wheel of these cars.

That guy's leg is broken. I hope someone was thinking fast enough to get him out of the way before the terrorist backed up.
 
"Many sides, many many sides" lol Jesus Christ this fucking guy. He's not even addressing the car rampage and is just going to talk in a super general manner about protest violence.

He literally forgot he was there to sign that damn paper in the first place.

This presidency turns the USA into a joke.

"How do you respond to white nationalists who say they are participating in Charlottesville because of you?"

The initial question he dodged.
 
I missed it. What did Trump say?

Something disgusting I'm sure...

It was basically:

"Violence on both sides is bad. It's been going on for a long time, believe me. Jobs in this country are amazing! Veterans are good. We all love God, the flag, and America. We need law and order to make it safe for children to play. I have a bill to sign, so all veterans* can receive the most amazing health care. We even worked with some Democrats. See, I can do it!"

"Mr. President, have you denounced the white nationalist groups that support you?"

"... I'm going to sign this piece of paper."

"Mr. President, was this terrorism?"

"I signed the paper! See, I did it! Time for golf!"

* Not transgender ones.

Played it safe I think but got through it, not much he could say honestly.

That was by far the worst speech I have EVER heard by a POTUS (placeholder of the United States) to address a major situation that is ongoing. This guy is a danger to everyone in the world let alone the United States.

I have no idea how you can honestly type the words you just did. He has absolutely no clue what he is doing

Wake up to what's really going on....

Like how fucking hard is it to say "I utterly condemn all white nationalist using me as a tool".

But he won't because he doesn't. He needs them to vote.

wait he was signing a bill regarding transgender service members?
 
People want to know if he will denounce white supremacists? It should be clear that he supports their actions because he hasn't spoken on the matter. He didn't even turn around to the reporters to simply say, "I do not condone what they do".
It's clear as day and reporters need to acknowledge this.

BBC just reported "State of Emergency" in effect, don't know if Trump mentioned that.
Nope, he didn't.

No, it was a relatively bipartisan VA act. Shulkin (non-controversial, IMO, VA Secretary) shepherded it.

Basically, the appropriate protocol would've been to make a public denouncement of neonazi terrorists in Charlottesville and briefly touch on a routine bill that literally no one's objecting to.

Not even surprised Trump is completely incapable dealing with the first terror attack of his tenure being a domestic one. All he knows is to bleat Bannon's anti-immigration/Islam rhetoric.

Lol of course he didn't. He's on vacation he's got food to eat and golf to play.

Meanwhile at least one family is now going to bury a loved one.

But hey "I can do it"yuck fucking yuck.

*a self-identifying nazi accelerates into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing someone and injuring many more*

president of the united states: "both sides* are bad here; with that out of the way, who wants to cheer about my bigly accomplishments"


*the two sides are self-identifying nazis publicly flying the flag and people who aren't nazis

I remember so many months ago how people would dread the notion of potentially having to hear Trump addressing a major incident such as this

The reality of it now is a lot worse than I could have ever imagined, lol

Are we talking about content or articulation, because I agree he is not a great orator, content wise the situation is fresh, details are being updated as we go, he didnt make any huge fuckups so far as I can tell and played it, as I said, safe. Would be very easy of him to say the wrong thing and he didnt.
