Current Events > Pres. Trump set to make unscheduled statement from the White House at any moment

(+) Yeah! (+)

I will give him credit for actually saying it but it should not of taken everyone and their mother screaming at him before he did finally did it.
---

Reminder: before he did this he felt the need to insult the CEO of merck.

Lets not let those horrors happen again. Nazism and White Supremacy have no place in the modern world even if CE has a disturbing number of supporters of it.

I'm happy he made the statement because it is important that the presidemy come down hard in this sort of thinking, especially when those thinkers are pretty uniformly supporters of his presidency.

It would be nice if he came out and said it initially though, because frankly "Nazi are bad" should be the least politically risky statement a politician can make.

LOL. It is terrible. But why is the opposition (aka the Antifa) given a pass by the media? They wave the hammer and sickle/communist flag around freely. An ideology that killed more than the Nazis ever did?

Way to play that card. "They don't think like they're supposed to, therefore R WORD or N WORD!"

Tres originale.

The people in Charlottsville were literally neo nazis and white supremacists who are all racists.

They were. And the police should have cordoned off the area from the counter-protesters aka the Antifa losers. Instead their absence instigated a fight. It's mindblowing that this thing was allowed to escalate.

So you're saying it's Antifas fault and the Polices fault entirely? I don't see you calling the Neo Nazis losers. (Note both sides are losers) As I only saw one side that drove a car into a group of people killing someone.

Both sides are losers, they truly are. But the police had orders to stand down and did nothing to suppress the violence when the racist rally ran into the Antifa people.

One vehicle attack does not mitigate the countless acts of violence that the Antifa have perpetrated for months now. Bricks, bike chains, you name it. It's a miracle there wasn't a death until yesterday. Now that one incident will be used to lump all the President's supporters into one group. That's insane.

I'm glad Trump finally did it. :o I give him props for that.

It's sad we have to give him the bare minimum of credit.

He's still an utter failure as a leader.

well, it is like with school children. :u you still have to praise them even when they're just performing barely above terrible. If you don't they get discouraged and won't try again in the future.

By the same token, some attacks by antifa over the past two (?) years does not mitigate the centuries long violence committed by white supremacists/Nazi supporters, including but not limited to lynching, live immolation, church bombings, etc

He's like gorilla from Congo.

Bad people very very bad

^Yup. Neither extreme is innocent. Both did atrocious things over the years.

Antifa's most extreme display involved setting fire to some places near UCLA and nobody was killed.

if that's considered atrocious, you have a really low fucking bar.

Shouldn't have taken 2 days to say it though. I hope he learns next time when the two groups clash to call out anyone who commits a hate crime, especially one that leads to a death, to call the group out by name, no matter who does it.

About trade policy and major tax cuts and reform. We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker and it’s about time. Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs. Unemployment is at a 16-year low and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over 1 million jobs since I took office. We will be discussing economic issues in greater detail later this afternoon, but based on the events that took place in Charlottesville over the weekend, I would like to provide the nation with an update on the ongoing federal response to the horrific attack and violence that was witnessed by everyone.
I just met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack that killed one innocent American and wounded 20 others. To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered. As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America. And as I have said many times before, no matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag and we are all made by the same almighty God.
We must love each other, show affection for each other and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.
Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs including the KKK, neo Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.
We are a nation founded on the truth, that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our creator, we are equal under the law and we are equal under our Constitution.
Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America. Two days ago, a young American woman, heather Heyer, was tragically killed. Her death fills us with grief and we send her family our thoughts, our prayers and our love. We also mourn the two Virginia state troopers who died in service to their community, their commonwealth and their country.
Troopers jay Cullen and Burke bates exemplify the very best of America, and our hearts go out to their family, their friends and every member of American law enforcement. These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation.
In times such as these America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.
As a candidate, I promised to restore law and order to our country, and our federal law enforcement agencies are following through on that pledge.
We will spare no resource in fighting so that every American child can grow up free from violence and fear. We will defend and protect the sacred rights of all Americans, and we will work together so that every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow their dreams in their hearts and to express the love and joy in their souls. Thank you, God bless you and God bless America. Thank you very much.

Lol, Trump is so dumb that when I initially started reading this post, I literally just thought this was your own personal bullshit rant

Damn

Antifa is responsible for Soviet Russia and Marx?

And the funny thing is, I said 2 extremes, but here in the US (Canada for me), the extreme right is what we call Nazis. They were a left party. Funny thing is that the Antifa love using some of their tactics.

No the extreme is white supremacy, which many at the march vocalized - and they have (as I stated above) in the US been responsible for far more atrocious things over two centuries than Antifar or BLM has. Do I need to spell them out for you?

Not good enough for the people here who hate him regardless of what it is.

if he resigned i'd be pretty happy tbqh

You'd find a way to bitch about that too...

"Oh he's too lazy" or something to that effect...

There's no point to playing fair with liberals.

No point playing fair with conservatives either tbh. God forbid I want the world to be progressive and for people not to be lynched for not being white or straight.

No there'd legitimately be celebrations.

Which would quickly be replaced with the impending dread of realizing that someone actually competent is in the White House now

So waiting for concrete proof to make a statement is a bad thing? No wonder you loved Obama...

Trump has never waited for concrete proof to say or do anything. Remember birtherism?

You are lying if you are claiming that he waited for proof and that is why a statement took two days.

But Obama's birth cert was a fraud. That was proven months ago.

Tell me how they weren't? They were a socialist party. Using eugenics is a leftist policy.

Attacking people physically in order to enact change is part of an extreme movement. See: all the losers clad in black and covering their faces using communist tactics.

Denounce them all.

So you believe antifar (the group in the US) in have reached the same levels of "extreme" that white supremacists/KKK (the group in the US) have in both of their respective histories?
