The "I didn't hear it" defense.

Not a chance.  Again, if this were Obama, this would be the defining foreign policy story to come out during his tenure.  You really believe that Republicans wouldn't amplify and rally around something like this?

Yeah they probably would. That's politics. And Republicans have been better at building their opponent's identity around things like this for sure. (See: Lincoln Project).

"Racists are often demonized and the president stands with them"

I don't understand why we need to spin this, since we all know exactly what happened.

1. Someone tweeted a video of Trump supporters at The Villages and tagged Trump.

2. Trump's has zero attention span, so at most he glanced at the tweet and decided to re-tweet it in one of his furious Twitter sessions. 

3. People actually watched the video, saw it included someone shouting White Power.

What did we learn from all this? What he have always known -- Donald J. Trump is a lazy imbecile. Any other President has his communications carefully reviewed, since by retweeting it he is explicitly endorsing it. Trump just fired it off with zero thought so he could get back to watching OAN. 

Trump is stupid and reckless -- example #1,235,511.

I mean, the argument here is that they are "tired" of being called racist so I think it will play pretty well.

Yeah people screaming "white power" from golf carts at their retirement communities are the ones who are really oppressed after all. 

Trump has me feeling bad for the racists now.

I don't think there is a single person in history that has hurt their legacy more by being president then Donald Trump.

That's the one that most "little guys" could fully understand and call bullsheet on.  That opened up a lot of eyes about who Trump really is and what he is not.

 

Yep. All that stuff about Ukraine, or Mexican kids in cages, or that weird plot to buy Greenland, and all the dumb insults and hints of pardoning his criminal buddies — that stuff doesn't show up on your doorstep.   

But our grocery stores looking like the final days of the Soviet Union, our restaurants shut down, and our parents/grandparents in fear of dying...that's right up in your face. Coupled with Trump's attempts at selling "everything's gonna be great" to us like some used car salesman, it kinda raises doubts in the minds of anyone who isn't the most devoted of cultists.

Did trump really have a legacy before? The only thing in his life he’s been good at is being a game show host. Almost everything else he has touched throughout life has turned into a train wreck. Including the presidency of course. 

Too vile for reddit. That's impressive.

And now Twitch. They are banning the President himself. 

 

Of course it is.

That is not how history would have portrayed him. History would have looked at him as a real estate mogul, that owned a bunch of casinos in NJ, was a reality TV star known for saying 'You're fired". He would have been known as a odd guy with weird hair that loved super models and could close a deal. That is what he built his reputation at and what a lot of people still believe.

Now he will be known as a failed businessman turned race baiting partisan politician who lacks any common sense or leadership skills.

I hear ya. As a New Jersey guy and New Yorker, I feel like he was always a back page curiosity. I recall thinking of him as kind of funny and eccentric. I bought Art of the Deal probably around freshman year of college. And then I got older and I was like, "Wait...it seems like he only invests in things that give the APPEARANCE of being rich. Hotels, airlines, golf courses. Like, the cliches of wealth that a hobo would believe."  And then I'm like, "How many billionaire moguls have time to host a multi-season, multi-episode reality TV gameshow? Warren Buffet doesn't do that. And Steve Jobs didn't need to sell steaks to supplement his income."

Anyway, you might be right about how the general public could have remembered him. But it didn't take much digging beneath the surface to realize that the billionaire thing didn't quite add up.

You are 100% correct. After all, that's how he became president in the first place.

These idiots can't get their stories straight. That tends to happen when you're lying 100% of the time.

Apparently Twitch suspended his account for hate speech too. 👀

I wrote to Gov. Wolf and told him to keep him the F out PA with his rallies.  He will not win PA again. I have such hate for that man now.

He doesn't even know you exist. Your "hate" only infects you.

As for Wolf....F that poosey.

And you know this how?  You have the same hate infecting you with that last comment.  Way to preach to the choir little boy.

I was going to ask him if he was going for some type of joke with that post...but it's lynched so of course it wasn't a joke.

Shark Tank is close. But at least those guys demonstrate some kind of sense when it comes to investing in startups. 

Trump would look like a complete fool next to Cuban.

the most surprising thing here is that he has a twitch account? 

what, are people watching him misspell words on Words with Friends?
