So you don’t even bother to do anything signaling compassion for what happened?

Chilling on twitter when american cities burn for a week straight is just weak.

If you were President, you would do what he did? He has what, 1 tweet about Floyd?

Not just Floyd but how about just recognize their movement. How about one of his, “they’re good people” for blacks? He said that about a white supremacist group that drove over innocent people In Charlottesville.


He literally could’ve said anything other than what he said. Dominate them. But that’s what happens when you’re a little sissy bitchboy cuck and you have to call Putin for approval and advice. Just like his followers. Fascist gammons

But he didn't say anything bad about blacks in the riot specifically. He called out the left and Antifa which is Mostly white(or at least non-black_ So, that really doesn't apply. Also Charlottseville would have been peaceful without leftists. This riot would never have been all peaceful. Not the same situation. And for that matter there were good people many black who were just trying to protest. But there are also a shit ton of BLM and Antifa retards who think anything they do in the name of justice and equality is ok. Just use those words and it is all good. Unlike people who always want to say any right protest is all Nazis I understand that while there is a shit ton of commies, BLM, Antifa, La Raza and all other groups who basicall eat ass there are good people on the left at any rally

I'm saying it would have been the same result regardless of what he said. The media and people on sites like these that have been relentless in their criticism for over 3 years don't suddenly just change their spots.

Yeah, you’re probably right about that. Politics dominates everything now.

But just being objective I have a hard time thinking his lack of action is good leadership.

Announce an investigation into the PD, say you don’t know what the other officers were thinking, even if it is futile.

I think you're confusing what you think would be the best way to handle the situation with the intent of the protesters.

I agree with you. I’ve only heard him say it was an awful incident. No tweets. I agree with you. To see him firing off all those tweets with no empathy is sickening.

Im just saying it would be nice if he said any of those things I mentioned

This is a really great question. We know that all of the good things that have happened in the past 3.5 years are because of everything Trump has done to Make America Great Again. We also know that no Democrat could ever do that all the Great things Trump has done. That means it is quite obvious that if anything happens that someone doesn't like, such as coronavirus or the killing George Floyd, Trump is still doing things that are great for America. If any Democrat were president, they would only be making things worse. Does anyone disagree with that?
This shtick was funny maybe the first couple times out of the 20,000.

You keep saying the stuff that Trump is doing is shtick or comedy. That is just not true.

Just change his affiliation from R to D and he'd be perfect in the eyes of our media which is enabled to mold far too many minds

Sad and simplistic, butt true

There was a good point on the news the other day. In 1968 when MLK was killed, there were riots across the country. One place that remained peaceful was Indianapolis, because of the way Robert Kennedy addressed the people there. Perhaps a politician, or one of their family members could have addressed America in this way:

Willie, I would look at it like this.

If I had a speech writer give the same speech to both Trump and Obama, the media would still be critical of Trump and still ooh and ahh over Obama. Neither President would treat the situation the same (Obama was actually divisive toward police) and neither would be effective in creating a different result (i.e. Trayvon Martin). As a matter of fact, no President in the last 3 decades has been effective (as we recall, the Rodney King riots were during Clinton's Presidency). Ultimately, the people causing the problems have their own agenda regardless of who the President is. It's silly to try and blame President Trump for this.

Whether one supports the political views of DJT or not, it's clear he is a sociopath and therefore incapable of true empathy

He does not express true sentiment for the simple but sobering reason that he does not know how to do so

How about arresting the other 3 officers for starters

I would also point out that initially, it is the local jurisdiction's responsibility to handle these issues. By the time it gets to the national level, ultimately the damage has already been done and of course, the finger pointing is rampant. Clearly Shub, no President is going to be involved in arresting anyone or using the National Guard for such a practice. And many of these states were ill prepared to handle the situation, even though they should have been aware by past incidents.

The Rodney King-inspired riots in Los Angeles occurred under the watch of George HW Bush and many feel his response contributed to his being defeated six months later in the Nov 1992 general

That would be a reasonable response since DJT would be unable to read his pre-written speech. His fourth grade literacy + dyslexia are common and very observable knowledge

Ahh, I stand corrected on that one. I was thinking it was later in 1992.

Despite the sarcasm, you're really not making a case here.

classic bullshit, has always

NEVER ONCE HEARD ANYONE ANYWHERE blame it on his response to Rodney King

Have heard "it's the economy stupid", as the democrats were able to sell those brilliant minds that an economy growing at 3.5% for 15 months was really in a recession. The really stupid assholes think Bubba turned the economy around in 1993 despite the fact that it was growing at an incredible rate for 1.5 years before his inauguration. You know, those same people that think Kavanaugh is a seriel rapist and Trump colluded with the Russians

The most informed people with a shred of rational thought blame Ross Perot, but I'm sure a few crack whores will mention Rodney King (if they're brains aren't totally fried that is)

In my opinion i believe that every President would have done the same, but they would use a different language on the press and their speeches. Trump knows how to start a fight with his tongue. Maybe people don't like that on a president and they are getting angry because of that.

He could’ve shown a lot more compassion for Floyd and perhaps that would help ease tensions.

I ask these types of questions all the time to anti-Trump friends and family.

100% of the time, without exception, the only real complaints relate to his words.

I get it that words matter - and I agree Trump is a complete buffoon in front of the microphone - just to me actions and policy matter more. A lot more.

Obama was a great orator and a shitty president. Trump is a great president and a shitty orator. I know which I'd prefer.
