There is no excuse for supporting this president

[F_Marturana]

I’ve got a question:

If trump is successful, but would have more support if he toned down the rhetoric, why doesn’t he?

He said he would be so presidential it would be boring. Why isn’t he being boring then?

It would seem that appealing to many more citizens would make sense.

Dow hasn’t done much since the tax cuts.

I live in a low murder suburban district which is represented by a Democrat so I wouldn’t push that theory too hard.

 

[vsedriver]

the tax cut certainly helped me.

Why do Democrats, like Elijah Cummings, get to call Trump a “racist” or “white nationalist” or even “white supremacist” without calls to tone down their rhetoric?

Why do you think?

Because he is a Dem that’s why.They are allowed to speak and act with impunity.Problem is they aren’t used to a republican fighting back and holding them accountable like Trump.They have been exposed over and over and over…

Undoubtedly, if I did not vote for Trump, we probably would not be seeing African American unemployment at all time lows and I heard there is a decrease in crime in the inner city and prison reform as well.

Again, who cares what Jennifer Rubin, pretty much called a Neo-Conservative across the board think? These kinds get us into wars. Sometimes, wars can be just, this much is true.

How many times have we heard “shoot them!” at Mr. Cummings’s speeches? And then Mr. Cummings laughs and jokes about it.

Maybe because Trump uses racist white nationalist language on the reg.

Why do you?

Could it be it’s the truth?

Obama is the one that mentioned “dumb” and the police, when Bush was in office, polls showed racial tensions were lower than when Obama was in office and all of that BLM.

Could it be it’s the truth?

Truth is African American unemployment is at an all time low, I heard crime is declining in the inner city and prison reform, that’s the truth. The truth should be address.

That Trump’s a “racist”, “white nationalist”, and “white supremacist”? If he is, he’s a pretty poor one looking at the record low rates of minority unemployment, the prison reforms he’s instituted, and the pardons (Jack Johnson, for example) he’s made. Of course, Trump accurately describing Cumming’s Baltimore district didn’t offer him any particular protection, so truth doesn’t seem to be a defense.

The unemployment rate has steadily been declining since it peaked in 2009. I don’t think Donald was affecting it then or now.

Point to one thing that Trump has done in the last two years that he said would lower black unemployment. You can’t. Unemployment is simply on a trajectory. It doesn’t have any correlation to whether the President is racist or not.

A racist President wouldn’t be bragging about the low minority unemployment rates to his supposedly racist supporters, and his supposedly racist supporters wouldn’t be applauding at it’s mention.

Another Republican wouldn’t have beat HC.

Possibly true. At the same time, HC was probably the only Democrat who couldn’t beat Trump. Heck…HC was probably the only mammal who couldn’t have beaten Trump.

 

[PaulinVA]

you alluded to some sort of insulting accusation to me too.

Where? I would never want to insult you.

A racist President wouldn’t be bragging about the low minority unemployment rates…

Sure he would. Because he’s giving plausible deniability to his supporters. This is the political equivalent to “I have a black friend”.

So, under Obama, blacks lost 25% of their net worth and had much higher unemployment but that is not racism in turn? Oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Yes, about that “shaking of head”, that was a few weeks ago but it’s probably too difficult to find now if it wasn’t deleted.

The Merriam Webster definition of racism says nothing about this at all.

Definition of racism . 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
