He is being attacked from many angles they are going to make him look like the devil and will do anything to stop him winning again.

When one side owns a runs the media don't believe everything that is put out there.

By the way I have no affiliation to either side I am just a passive observer. 

No one need to help him look bad at all, as he does a bang-up job of that all by himself.

All the 'defense' im seeing is the truthful one where its clear as day the golf cart guy is mocking the protesters who are shouting the same ole song and dance garbage at him. 

And totally inappropriate for the POTUS to be retweeting....stop defending it, you look like a man that is drowning.

Wheras one is a symbol of a fight for freedom and equal human rights, the other is a symbol of opression!

I'll let you figure out, which one is which and why this actually makes all the difference in the world!

 

But of course you know that already and...wait...why does it smell like bridgetroll in here???

I wouldn’t usually reply to such a simplistic point of view but I believe

ALL opinions, lives and freedoms of speech matter even yours.

 

I believe in equal opportunities for all regardless of colour, religion etc.

 

You need to accept and realise that if someone’s opinion differs from yours, they aren’t necessarily a troll or racist.

The media didn't retweet the video. How about stop finding ways to defend the indefensible?

He is a racist incompetent leader, who does everything to scare away decent voters.

HE always has and continues making himself look bad in every possible way.

A crazy, angry, ignorant, spoiled brat buffoon. He doesn't need any help at all. 

Passive observer...PUH-LEESE!

Trump loves to stir the pot, but this is not a good time to stir the pot unless you want it to boil over. The UK and the USA are quite similar at present, the pot is close to boiling over.

 

There is little similarity between the US and UK. Be real.

Yes, what BS. Anyone knows that only lives of colors approved by the Party matter. Same as only political ideologies approved by the Party matter.

 

Once the Party establishes its totalitarian one party dictatorship, no lives will matter; only the state. Apart from those that are "more equal" of course. They'll always matter.

 

George Orwell must be spinning.

No one's realized yet that he's often in two places at once tweeting and doing live interviews?

a lot of the stuff 'put out there' is not via the 'media' but self generated social media. when you're in a hole it's best to stop digging.

 

i'm neutral on this too, if americans want this guy to lead them for another four years up to them, i mean it was fairly clear what they would get the first time round and they were happy to vote for him. baffled me but i'm not american so i guess i just dont understand. ????

Your comparison with the White Power being discussed by the golf cart guy has a similar free speech right

 

Back than that slogan was considered by some as a radical movement for the black activist community, that were being oppressed by the system in the USA.

Specifically, what "White power being discussed by the golf cart guy" are you talking about?

Any explanation is bad for Trump:

- either he did it on purpose and he is an incompetent opportunist and/or racist

- or he is an incompetent moron who doesn't even check what he re-tweets.

Or he didn't the audio of it. Or he heard the audio, but didn't hear the alleged "white power" talk. So no, your "any explanation is bad for Trump" proclamation is obviously false.

 

Let's try a quick integrity test. Do you ever watch short video clips of stuff on social media but don't listen to the sound? Yes or no?

I am not the POTUS. I don't  bear the same responsibilities and don't represent a highly respectable institution. 

Now if you think a POTUS can behave like Joe the guy next door, it's your right.

I'm sorry, is that a yes or a no? And moreover, how does your reply mean the additional two possibilities I posted of are null and void?

It's not about me, so 'yes or no' doesn't matter. I'm just Joe the guy next door. ????

I thought I was clear enough. As a POTUS, he must carefully check what he re-tweets. Not same same Joe the guy next door.

Obviously, that's a yes. And why should Trump check blah blah blah any more than any other person? Because you say he should? Nah... I say he has the same freedom of speech as any other person and can tweet or speak as he sees fit. Now tell me again how horrible it is to talk about white power.

Presidents can and do behave like the Joe next door in many respects. Now if only you can tell me why promoting "white power" is bad and promoting "black power" is OK. Either you are for equality or you are not.

Why is it trump supporters ignore the President has full ownership of anything he tweets. trump's nearly daily errors of judgement communicated in the public domain are totally unacceptable. There is no excuse for trump's behaviour which would get him fired by the Board in the corporate world - roll on 11/20 to see the back of trump and for America to regain a credible reputation.
