Anyone notice the tragic irony that this post was followed shortly after by a guy shooting up a newspaper?

A kook who was making threats against the paper, and investigated by the police for doing so, LONG before Trump thought of running. A former female employee of that paper, moved out of state because she felt so threatened by this guy. All long before Trump was a politician.

He was a madman, on record as being a madman. How dare you imply any connection whatsoever, to what Trump said? You have no shame, no honesty, none, zip, zilch.

Sure he was crazy but why crack now? Considering Trump's history of promoting violence, threatening individuals in the press, calling out the press as our countries greatest threat etc... etc... you can't decouple his actions as the most powerful person in the country with people that could be influenced. This doesn't mean Trump's responsible but it does put his behavior in tragic context. That he was back at it after the event is really deplorable.

now he is going after Harley ! True to form and in a very un POTUS fashion

Trump has threatened to impose higher taxes on the Milwaukee-based manufacturer in retaliation after it said on June 25 it was shifting some production for European-bound motorcycles from U.S. facilities to avoid tariffs being imposed by the European Union to counter U.S. duties imposed by Trump.

He actually said this morning the Administration was talking to foreign makers about moving production to the US as a retaliatory measure. It was likely made up but this is like the twilight zone.

"Sure he was crazy but why crack now? "

Oh, so all that matters is timing. Using that "logic", you must blame Obama for all the cops murdered after he lent legitimacy to cop-haters. Right?

Who knows why they snap when they do. Maybe it was Trump, but as of this moment, there is exactly zero evidence of that. But you don't care.

Trump tweets Iranian hardliner's unsubstantiated claim about Obama

Biased Fake story promoted by no other than Fox and the POTUS Shocking !!


He Read or watched or was told about A headline from Fox News, Sean Hannity, and others has been circulating for a couple of days now.

Donald Trump has tweeted an unsubstantiated claim from an hardline Iranian cleric and circulated by a news agency linked to the country’s Revolutionary Guard, that thousands of Iranians were granted US citizenship as part of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Trumps Tweet

Just out that the Obama Administration granted citizenship, during the terrible Iran Deal negotiation, to 2,500 Iranians - including to government officials. How big (and bad) is that?

I think he clearly said it wasn't his fault personally but he has set the table if you use the maxine waters standard your side has invoked regarding charged rhetoric it would Say it was Trumps Fault but since he has a R next to his name the Standard dosn't apply

the long lens of history gives us examples of whats normal and what is not .. and in our short history that long lens is very clear there has never but such a full frontal assault on Norms across the board

In the instances that Trump refers to, just about everything in that list you dug up is true. Especially by the standard of what you and others consider, when it comes to Trump, a lie.
