He obviously does. That seems to drive his whole narrativetrump needs to have empathy for those who have felt the pain of racism that exists in our country. He does not.Does Trump need to have empathy for those who are protesting but not rioting or causing violence? You know the vast majority of those who have been out there for monthsThere are outside agitators in the mix also, according to the FBI. The white supremacist movement is known for that kind of behavior. trump addresses issues like this with pepper spray and troops to quell the protesters. He has noI’ve already said that rioters should be arrested. Biden has said the same. Any official that doesn’t agree isn’t doing their job. I don’t know what else you want me to say about that.You can determine wrong and right in your own mind. I didn’t use those words. I said when you Ignore and mock people they get louder. When you listen to them and work woth them they calm down. I’m not talking about rioters I’m talking about the vast majority who are protestingWhen did I say anything about giving a violent mob what they want? Please show my quote or stop lying about the things I sayI’m not on the side of anybody who is being violent or damaging property so I don’t know what you’re talking about. Trump has absolutely ignored and acted against the issues being protested. Like it or not that inflames things. He is responsible for his part in that. Very poor leadership. Ultimately those committing crimes are responsible for the crimes they commit and they should be punished accordinglyBiden has addressed it. He’s said many times that violence of any kind should not be accepted and arrests should be made.H
He did answer that. Said he wasn’t holding elected office. He doesn’t see that as a responsibility of his.Unbelievable, right? It was a simple question. we all saw it. Mr. Biden, did you call the Governor/Mayor of Oregon/Portland to tell them to tell his supporters to stop burning down Portland?
Biden did not answer. So anyone here wanna guess why? was he watching any particular movie/movies on cable TV?
Was Biden too busy on his PC in his hideaway?
And yet, at least 40% of us are gonna vote for Biden?
1. It is a huge issue and he should have already addressed it. THat he did not is a failure on his part.
2. He could have said what he WOULD do, if elected. Not doing that, was very telling. He does not want to admit what he will or will not do, because a lot of his voters support the violence and a lot do not.;
3. Attacking Trump for it, as though it is not his supporters and the lefty mayors and governor who are at fault, was wrong and disgusting.
he has also said what he would do. Open a commission with leaders from all sides so they can communicate and reach solutions. People are screaming in the streets because they want action and want to be heard. Ignoring them isn’t going to help quiet things, it’s going to make them get louder.
Trumps own a lot of responsibility, he ignores and insults those who protest and tries to strong arm them into submission. That’s how you inflame things not how you resolve issues
The message was heard BEFORE the riots began. This is not about getting a message heard.
Trump is not responsible for the actions of your people. Your attempt to blame him for your side's actions is the type of thing an ill mannered child would do.
Biden, if he was half the man he is pretending to be, would have called out the Mayors of Portland and Seattle, for their utter betrayal of the responsibilities of their office, by siding the mobs against their own people.
Giving a violent mob what they want, might be the obvious answer to you. To me, using the police or the National Guard to clear the streets and protect the citizens seems a more Just solution.
My point about Biden stands. THe mayors are the ones who have ordered the cops to stand down. Other than the actual rioters, they are the ones most directly responsible for the riots continuing and growing to the scale we have seen.
You attacked Trump for "ignoring and acting against the issues being protested".
The implication is clear. If ignoring or acting against the issue is "wrong" then paying attention and giving them what they want, is "right".
I was talking about the rioters. YOu changed the subject to the protestors. Seems like you think the two groups are pretty heavily overlapped.
YOU did that. Not me.
And, I agree. I think the two groups are heavily overlapped and connected and aligned. and those that pretend otherwise are full of shit.
Also, I think that the mayors, who let the RIOTERS run rampant while ordering the cops to stand down and refusing help, are guilty of serious crimes, including sedition.
my critique on Trump was how he has only acted to provoke and not to calm the groups protesting the movement. The peaceful group. When you provoke a group of frustrated people you push them to get louder and yes some will light shit on fire. So this denial that Trump isn’t making the problem worse is BS.
You tell me... what has he done to address the issues being protested? How is he giving voice to the peaceful side of the protest to address their concerns? I’m all ears
empathy for others so that is his way. Kinda like a dictator.
The ws movement is NOT known for that kind of behavior. They are known for being completely ineffectual and irrelevant.
Trump does not need to have empathy for the assholes blocking traffic and screaming at people and burning shit down and killing people.
HE needs to have empathy for the victims of these mobs, ie the law abiding citizens.
That you empathize with the violent criminals, instead of their victims, shows what kind of person you are.
He needs to have empathy for those who are fucking tired of being blamed for wacism, just because they are white.
And that is a good thing. We do not deserve such treatment. Slavery is not an Original Sin, that we need to be paying for, to the last generation.
