I just watched the Donald Trump press conference. Due to the horrific nature of his words, I have already scrapped tomorrow’s planned post and will be discussing this at length tomorrow.

CNN:
Beyond petty political squabbles, Trump has never been overly cautious or shy about denouncing or naming those who carry out terror attacks, often using passionate, angry language to make his point.
After the nightclub massacre in Orlando last summer, Trump called the gunman a “son of a b—h” and, in a tweet, relayed “reporting” from an unknown source that claimed, “Orlando killer shouted ‘Allah hu Akbar!’ as he slaughtered clubgoers.”

In February, less than a week after Trump let pass without comment a French-Canadian man’s deadly attack on a mosque in Quebec City, the President was quick to tweet his condemnation of “a new radical Islamic terrorist.”

The more recent controversy has actually been building for more than a week. On Saturday, August 5, an assailant pitched a bomb into the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, Minnesota. Gov. Mark Dayton labeled the attack “a criminal act of terrorism.” Trump, though, had nothing to say.

So the temperature was already up when a white supremacist mob descended on Charlottesville late Friday, parading around the city with their store-bought torches. As the rally turned violent that night, and clashes with anti-racist protesters carried over into Saturday morning, Trump was nowhere to be found.

Trump got these bigots all riled up so naturally they are ready to make America white again and take their country back. That’s what this is all about. They don’t want to give up majority status. As for Trump that speech he gave yesterday was embarrassing. You could tell he didn’t want to say any of that and somebody wrote it for him. That’s not what he believes. Look at that pic of his parents in the KKK and him picking Steve Bannon as his right hand man. What does the man have to do to prove he is of that ilk. So get ready because what happened in Charlottesburg is about to start happening everywhere. These racists are not playing.
