Support NeoGAF

[Astral Dog]

Did he really need to bring up job numbers after someone dying at a Nazi rally?

He thinks maybe that will calm them down

 

[astroturfing]

woah whats going on in that picture, car ramming into people..? why?

excuse my ignorance, havent really followed American news for a couple days.

 

[Ekai]

Imagine how much worse the right is gonna be in a few more years.

Alt-right memers are the future of the Republican party so, yea. The Republicans are just going to get more and more immature, moronic and extremist.

 

[Surfinn]

That press conference was a fucking DISASTER.

 

[watershed]

Trump is a coward. No surprise there.

A nazi drove into people who were protesting against nazis.

 

[starry sonata]

Wow...Just wow, this guy still has yet to reach his one year as president and the things that come from his mouth...

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

It happened today with the Charlottesville protest that happened. This was the counter protest to the Nazis and White Supremacists.

 

[Easy_D]

That was some nice support he gave there to his nazi pals.

 

[PopeReal]

Trump loves the Nazi agenda.

No surprises here.

 

[Zeroro]

Now is absolutely not the time to equivocate. Piece of shit.

 

[jabuseika]

He found a way to talk about his accomplishments in a speech about a National tragedy.

 

[Regulus Tera]

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.

He literally blamed both sides of the argument. That implies the perpetrator did it in self defence or was pushed to run over people with a car. Think about what you are saying.

He literally said both sides.

I disagree and think this was inflammatory to say, poor form

Also you posted this in the
"Charlottesville Mayor: Donald Trump responsible for white supremacist resurgence" Thread

Your agenda is fucking obvious.

You are a real piece of work.

Um, he didn't even take the VERY EASY AND SIMPLE STEP OF DENOUNCING WHITE SUPREMACY and walked off when reporters asked if he would denounce it. That's a huge fuckup. You don't get points for "both sides-ing" a nazi rally that turned violent.

"Both sides", employment and jobs, etc are the wrong things to say

And what he didn't say and the questions he didn't answer makes his address even worse

 

[WedgeX]

The awfulness of his remarks call for large protests to welcome Trump back to DC after his vacation.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

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

Plenty he could have said, actually..but he won't.

 

[GK86]

Video of the question he dodged.

 

[PopeReal]

They are trying to tell us that hate is a political opinion.

It isn't.

 

[BriGuy]

We have literal goddamn neo-nazis proudly demonstrating in our streets, which has now escalated to the point of people dying. Speaking out against these "people" should be the easiest, most non-controversial thing in the world.

And the orange turd couldn't do it. Fucking garbage.

He said "on many sides" twice, with emphasis.

He morally equated the acts of racists and counter protesters.

He failed to called this an act of terrorism, which it undeniably is.

Seriously this. I expected it to be bad, but I was left speechless when he immediately pivoted to talking about how great the jobs numbers were. He is incapable of handling a crisis.

 

[Aselith]

I was watching this video of the attack on the protesters and this lady watches the car plow into a crowd, goes running towards it then turns around to take a selfie. What. The. Fuck. Lady in the pink bandana in the Brennan Gilmore video

Thanks.

Good on the reporters for asking those questions.

I remember when he was asked this during the election.

I wouldn't expect anything less from him.

 

[Opto]

Mayhaps we should extend the travel band to white people from dangerous areas too.

 

[Pbae]

We all know how big a piece of shit Donald Trump is. He's chaotic, dumb, and incapable of being a better person in the twilight of his sad existence. He will continue to infuriate, continue to repress, continue to corrupt, continue destroy, and continue to rule with the Republicans in power.

Please call your Senators, Congressman, and whoever else you think might be able to bring some semblance of control to our country. This is bigger than the health care repeal, yet I rarely see a call to action to bring these goons to be held accountable.

Never let up. It's not an easy process but a dim whimper can become a deafening roar when united by a common cause.

 

[Real Hero]

trump basically said its open season, he's going to regret this (if hes capable of such a thing)

 

[Advocatus Diaboli]

Tbh, the most shocking thing is that he didn't mention the election.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I don't know what he has to gain by dodging that question.

At the very least you could see him dodging Russian collusion questions as him "not having to dignify that" since he thinks it's fake---but there are multiple white supremacists straight up saying he supports them. There's absolutely NOTHING to gain by ignoring that, it's not a crazy theory, it's literally happening.

Fuck him.

 

[Kusagari]

Gov. Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee
"White supremacy" crap is worst kind of racism-it's EVIL and perversion of God's truth to ever think our Creator values some above others.

Mike Fucking Huckabee can put out a real condemnation.

And Trump can't.

Yep. It's because he's okay with it.

Well now I'm just pissed lol..

I seriously hope Mueller finds grounds for high treason.

 

[Jackpot]

Is there a transcript? I can't stand listening to his voice.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

Even Huckabee makes a strong(er) respone (than Trump)

Well, he didn't lose anything the other times he dodged the same question.

 

[Advocatus Diaboli]

I mean, basically just read my post on this page. A transcript or video would require too much alcohol, and I don't generally like day drinking.

 

[skullmuffins]

He "gains" by not losing the support of racists. Recall back to the campaign where he was incredibly reluctant to say anything negative about David Duke after Duke endorsed him.

 

[def sim]

Mike Fucking Huckabee can put out a real condemnation.

And Trump can't.

well shit

 

[Alucrid]

Mike Fucking Huckabee can put out a real condemnation.

And Trump can't.

someone should let him know that his daughter is the mouthpiece of white supremacy right now

 

[jelly]

It's weird that he won't even say it.

Surely his base would just think he has to say it and not take it to heart or are they that thick?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

You know when he started to talk about all the great things going on in America I realize he legitimately sounds the same as when Reggie does a Nintendo Direct---like, it's the exact same tone.

 

[TrojanAg]

Fuck you Trump you spineless piece of shit. A fucking embarrassment to our country and the world.

 

[admiraltaftbar]

Well David fucking Duke already sent him a warning for his "strongly worded" tweet about the incident so apparently his base is stupid enough to want him to look like the worst human ever in public just so he doesn't say anything bad about them.

Can you link the tweet?
