UnfairRepresent 01/26/18 1:41:14 PM #1:	U.S. President Donald Trump made a rare apology on Friday over his decision to retweet anti-Muslim videos posted by a British far-right group, a move which strained tensions with London. "If you're telling me they're horrible racist people, I would certainly apologise if you'd like me to do that," he told ITV's Good Morning Britain, referring to the group Britain First. Trump sparked outrage in Britain in November with the retweet and drew a public rebuke from Prime Minister Theresa May, to which he replied angrily, souring trans-Atlantic ties. However, the two leaders met in Davos on Thursday where they agreed to press ahead with Trump's long-planned visit to Britain later this year, and the president was keen to downplay talk of a rift. "The real me is someone who loves Britain, loves the UK, I love Scotland; very special people and a very special place," he said. "I don't want to cause any difficulty for your country." Trump retweeted, in quick succession, three videos characterised as showing Islamist violence, at least one of which was found to be misleading. They were posted by Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First who was in 2016 convicted of religiously aggravated harassment of a Muslim woman. In the interview, presenter Piers Morgan said the president caused "huge anxiety and anger in my country, because Britain First is basically a bunch of racists, fascists". "Of course I didn't know that," Trump responded, I know nothing about them, I know nothing about them today, other than I read a little bit... Certainly I wasn't endorsing anybody. I don't want to be involved with people (like that)," he said, adding: "I am the least racist person that anybody is going to meet. When you do those retweets they can cause problems because you never know who's doing it to start off with." But he was less apologetic about tweeting the content of the videos, saying he believed they depicted "radical Islamic terror". "Radical Islamic terror, whether you like talking about it or not, you look at what's going on in the UK, you look at what's going on all over the world," he said. "It was done because I am a big believer in fighting radical Islamic terror." May said at the time that Trump was "wrong" to send out the tweets, further straining ties after a series of spats between the president and London mayor Sadiq Khan over terrorism. Trump hit back at May on Twitter, saying: "Don't focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!" During their meeting on Thursday, their first since the row, Trump turned to May, saying: "We actually have a very good relationship although a lot of people think we don't. He said in the interview: "I support her, I support a lot of what she does and I support you militarily very much. We will come to your defence should anything happen." --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:894848958] in US Preside...

UnfairRepresent 01/26/18 1:41:33 PM #2:	May was the first foreign leader to visit Trump following his inauguration in January last year, where she invited him to make a state visit to Britain, hosted by Queen Elizabeth II. Britain has long touted its "special relationship" with the United States, and is also desperate for a trade deal as it leaves the European Union. The trip has been delayed, however, and in Trump recently pulled out of a plan to open the new US embassy in London, a move British officials blamed on threats of mass protests. Trump said "I don't care" about the potential protesters, adding: "I think a lot of the people in your country like what I stand for, I do stand for tough borders." Both leaders agreed on Thursday to arrange a visit for later this year, although the White House said it would be a "working visit", suggesting it may not be the pomp-filled trip initially proposed.

Since I support some of Trump's policies, I am therefore a "trump cultist" that has full faith in everything he does, and you desperately want some kind of "gotcha" moment where you reveal the grand truth of the fact that he's not infallible to me, because for some reason you think... what? This justifies all your political opinions or something? I dunno. We dont work with or around the president at all. We comment on a message board. We are not responsible for his behavior. He has no idea what were saying about him. Youre aware of that, right? But please keep telling us how laughing at him for apologizing like a schoolboy is going to affect his behavior. Its the funniest joke on CE right now. Nah, it's pretty clear you can't or don't want to extrapolate how you're reacting in this specific instance to a larger trend of how you treat others and how to get what you want out of them through basic behavioral psychology. If you think the points I'm making are literally restricted to dealing with only Trump or that the way people are acting here doesn't at all reflect how they act in real life then there's really no point. You seem fixated on thinking I'm trying to defend him rather than simply pointing out how the way you respond to this kind of behavior alters future behavior in others. If you want to get more out of life, and get better results from dealing with other people, consider following my advice. If not, that's fine too. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

I'm also not defending his behavior, nor condoning it. You seem to be the one stuck on this idea that what I'm suggesting is a defending him, rather than telling you how to work around him. But again, I prefer the practical approach to dealing with reality, rather than going "lol he's a child" and then getting angry when he continues to do things I don't like. EDIT: But I get what you're trying to do. Since I support some of Trump's policies, I am therefore a "trump cultist" that has full faith in everything he does, and you desperately want some kind of "gotcha" moment where you reveal the grand truth of the fact that he's not infallible to me, because for some reason you think... what? This justifies all your political opinions or something? I dunno.</quote> We dont work with or around the president at all. We comment on a message board. We are not responsible for his behavior.
