It's curious that America needed to be made great again after our first black president.

Or after a Democrat president

Or after a decline in economic influence

Or after a value shift away from Cold War-esque nationalism

It really can be interpreted a million different ways, all of them with some ounce of truth. It doesn't always have to be just what's in plain sight.

We were better off economically when Obama left than we were before he went in.

It wasn't that Obama's black, it's that he's a communist. If we instead had someone qualified like Herman Cain who cares about this country and our constitution then no one on the right would have complained because it's about qualifications and not race.

Obama caused a terrible housing recession that really financially hurt a lot of people.

The optics on him responding in that fashion certainly doesn't help his image any

theres some truth to it. after charlottesville many ceos in his manufacturing council quit. about 30 of em in fact. he only attacked 1 of them on twitter and it was the black guy @GregShmedley
---

He's a troll. A smug, arrogant, childish, easily triggered troll. That's our Prez.
---

specifically targeting the only black guy for quitting when a shit load of other ceos quit does raise eyebrows dude. 2 of the white ceos lambasted him on twitter and trump ignored them and went after the black guy that didnt say shit

That isn't example of there being truth to It. Trump is a childish asshole to everyone.

Well let's take a look at the athletes he's had beefs with that he instigated

None of them are white.
There is most definitely a pattern. Plenty of white athletes he could throw shade at (and coaches, see Kerr or Popovich), but he always goes for the Kaepernicks, the Currys, Lynches, and so on in his public tirades.

...It's almost like you don't see the obvious pattern of attacking prominent black men to rally his base

It was always a racist slogan

...it's almost like there is context that you are leaving out. Let's not forget the white people--mainly white politicians--he attacks on the regular.

So, because he attacks white people, when he attacks black people, he can't possibly have any racist motivation behind it? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Every time someone says fake news I mentally check out of the conversation.

It makes one sound really, really stupid.

Trump has so much to criticize but this s*** is so stupid. No, Trump childishly attacks everyone on the regular.

Let's see, He attacked the NFL players more then he attacks Nazis. He attacked a black reporter more than Nazis. Want me to keep going ?

It's like people are forgetting, again, the context behind his attacks. It wasn't like "hmmm, black athletes. Gotta attack them!!!"

Well, we know he has a history of discrimination, we know he championed a conspiracy to invalidate the first black president, we know white nationalists and culturally aggrieved white people are part of his fanbase, and we know he attacks black protestors more than he does white nationalist 'protestors'. You're making it seem like these are isolated incidents.

On Twitter, Trump accuses blacks of racism three times as often as whites


http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-twitter-trump-racism-20170814-story.html

In reply to someone bringing up his attacks on black people the motherfucker said MAGA. And people are still defending this shit.

That's because no one defends Nazis and everyone and everyone knows they're terrible people. There's not much of need to attack them because you'd just be saying what everyone already knows.

But people tend to like and admire NFL players by default and will overlook things if they're not called out.

Why would you get upset over Trump not repeatedly emphasizing what everyone already knows and agrees with? Do you get butthurt over him not taking to Twitter to remind everyone that 2+2=4?

I would be shocked if Trump even knows that 2+2 = 4, tbh. He would probably say it equals 7 and anyone that disagrees is fake news.
