No he was talking about the statue protestors and trying to deflect some blame onto ANTIFA. Like most things instead of staying on the important message he makes statements like that to ignite partisan fights. Great example of how Trump fuels division and why I don’t support him. And yes many in the media and the left took that comment out of context and ran with it. I spoke out against that at first but then seeing how Trump responded, not clarifying, made me think he was wanting that fight. Rousing the racist tensions and infighting. Wouldn’t surprise meI oppose him in general because I don’t trust him and I don’t think he is a good person. I literally just said that I have no problem taking actions case by case and judging whether I think those actions are good or not. Not everything is bad. In this case what he did was bad and embarrassing and another example for poor leadership.I dont assume anything, I critique what I see. I don’t think everything the man does is evil. I’m sure he does plenty of things that I’m fine with. I’m past the point where I’m going to make an effort to publicly praise those things. If you ask me about an act of his and I think it was good then I’ll say that but I’m not going to rally for the Great Don. I see plenty more things on a regular basis that I find dishonest, absurd, and a reflection of poor leadership. So yes that’s my focus, yes I have bias, and yes my critiques can still be accurate and trueI don’t blame him, I’m in the same boat. I really wanted Trump to do well. I used to post here to Dems to give him a chance and be a respectable opposition after he was elected.... but then fake lie after lie and the barrage of trolling and bullying and the degradation of our government at the highest levels. So I don’t trust him and I don’t support him and I’d love to see him out. I imagine millions of people agree. We are pat the point of giving him a chance and showing him support. He blew that a long time ago. And just because I feel that way does not make my critiques of him invalid. The things i criticize him actually happenThat’s not true, I believe this other poster you are talking to made a similar comment right after mine saying that had trump actually gone to a church service or been praying with people from the church he wouldn’t have had a problem with what happenedFrom now on every time i see you recycling this tired talking point about opposing the Burning of churches which I already explained Was not what people have a problem with, I’m going to simply point out that you’re being a TROLL TROLL TROLLWow, changing the subject again?! I haven’t said a word about the constitution. Are you unable to follow the debate or are you that desperate that you need to fling in random subjects to the debate. Come on... do better.Whatever you are “noting” is all wrong. I’m not walking anything back, I’m correcting your spin. I’ve explained several times now what the problem is... and the problem is not standing up against burning churches. As I said before, at this point you are either intentionally trolling or not taking the time to listen to what’s being said in critique of TrumpHoly shit Correll! You’re still on this burning churches narrative?! I addressed that yesterday and you ignored my points. The issue isn’t about a president taking a stance against burning churches. We are unified in being against burning churches. You know damn well what the issues are over with this situation. It’s being laid out for you over and over again. If you can’t have an honest debate then what the hell are you doing here? Trolling? Do betterLook at all that deflection.Unity is a two way street."Unity"But you had to attack him. You couldn't give unity a nod, not for one second.
From a Trumpster.
.....
From a Trump supporter. Correct. What part of that is confusing to you?
You people are divisive. Not us, not Trump.
As this example shows to the nth degree.
Perhaps if you held the posters I quoted (and you deleted) accountable for their words with the same tenacity with which you complain about those who dare to criticize Trump, you could be taken seriously.
Right now, all you can really see is one side of this. Zero empathy, just like Trump.
I'm not asking you to disavow some list of anti-white racists before I accept your support on the controversial stance of NOT BURNING CHURCHES.
Rightwinger is actually quite racist against whites. Have I every shoved quotes from him in your face and demanded that you do "hold him accountable" for his misdeeds?
You have choices and you make them, and then find reasons for them afterwards.
Your side is choosing to tear America apart.
People are dying in the streets and you are continuing to refuse to unite on ANYTHING.
You do realize that this will only get worse, if you continue to do more of the same, right?
You absolutely refuse to hold your side accountable. I'm not afraid to hold my side accountable.
You're not to be taken seriously.
No deflection. YOu made a point, and I addressed it seriously and honestly.
You are supporting division to the point that you can't support Trump on NOT BURNING CHURCHES.
Unity does not require complete agreement or satisfaction on all issues. If so, unity would never occur.
Too late to walk it back, slade. He took the position and you libs attacked him.
Your excuses for your actions were noted.
YOu choose division and hate.
You people can always find some excuse for your division and hate.
THe stated reasons are utter shit. Like your pretend concern about the Constitution. From people who would shit can the first and second amendments in a heartbeat, if they could, and suddenly we are supposed to pretend to take your concern for the Constitution seriously?
LOL!!!!
You are so full of hate, that you can't even support DON'T BURN CHURCHES, if the message comes from the other side.
Also, I literally just wrote that we are unified in being against burning churches so your last line there is a complete lie
A lot of you have said a lot of shit, about your "Reasons" for attacking the President on this issue.
I've challenged all of you on your stated reasons and none of you have been able to defend your stated reasons.
You don't gas people to create a photo op.
Yeah, you said that before. I asked you, if it were not for the clearing of the protesters, would you have supported the President, and you did not respond.
Because, like all your people's stated reasons, it is pure bullshit.
I did respond. I clearly stated that if he had actually been leaving a church service I would have gave him a pass.
I'm not impressed by someone using something as a photo op he never supports under any other circumstance.
Your pretense of conflating church attendance with not wanting to see churches burn, is not credible.
YOur stated excuses for your division, are obvious bullshit and you are not fooling anyone.
You can complain all you want but the photo op went over very poorly. It wasn't believable.
You people had the choice of support NOT BURNING CHURCHES, OPPOSING NOT BURNING CHURCHES, or LETTING IT PASS QUIETLY.
You choose, OPPOSE AND DIVIDE.
That is on you.
Except I am not trolling. I have asked ever liberal who has attacked the President on this issue, whether, if their stated reason was NOT there, if they would have supported the President's message.
ALL OF THEM except you, did not answer at all. ONly you stated that in that case, you would support the President.
They did that, because their stated reasons were bullshit. THey choose to oppose the President, because they want to divide America.
I am not the one trolling. They are.
Nope. He said he would not have a problem with Trump carrying a bible to a church service. He tricked you.
He could not bring himself to say, that he would support the President, EVEN IF HIS STATED REASON FOR OPPOSING HIM, WAS REMOVED.
That is my point. FOr the vast majority of people, what the President says is irrelevant. They are already either for him, or against him.
The sides have been divided, long before Trump was President. This has nothing to do with anything he says or does.
Actually when you say that you are past giving him a chance, it does invalidate any criticism of him, based on current events.
Trump, for all you know, could very well being doing something right, and you would just assume he was not, and would just accept the bullshit lies, or allow yourself to be tricked,
like that way you thought that the other liberal would support Trump, if it was his bible. He ran a line a jive, right past you, and you fell for it, because you are blinded by partisan bitterness and division.
INdeed, for all you know, this could have been happening for quite some time, and I was just not there to point it out to you.
How long have they been lying to you, and you falling for it?
So, no matter what Trump says or does, you are not open to hearing it, and it will never make a difference to you, because you will always oppose him, or possibly best case scenario, let it pass, that is the most he can hope for from you...
And that is my point. The division is not about Trump. YOu people have decided that no matter what he says or does, you oppose him.
The vast majority of the complaints made against him, are shit, made up after the fact to rationalize the deep bittern divide that PREDATES Trump.
Consider also, how the way you are, makes you such an easy mark for people to lie to, to tell you what you expect to hear, like that guy that said he would support Trump, going to church service.
How many times have you been tricked like that, without someone like me to point it out to you?
Do you believe that Trump said, in his Charlottesville response, that white supremacists were "very fine people"?
You can see that the media lied about what he said, falsely telling black people that the President was praising white supremacists,
and still, in your mind, you turn it around, so it is Trump who is being divisive?
Do you understand that from over here, your logic looks like the Gordian Knot?
There is something deeply wrong with you. With all of you.
