They've prepared 'lengthy memos and presentations'? Oh Dear.

Trump live press conference now.
The man is a tool.
"Is it terrorism? Is it murder? Who can say?"
You can, you epic fucking tool. YOU CAN.

"What about the alt-left who came charging at the alt-right? Do they have any guilt?" says Trump re Charlottesville Shock

Everytimeref · 15/08/2017 21:16

Seriously how is this man president of the USA. It's embrassing listening too.

Roussette · 15/08/2017 21:19

Seth Myers nailed it.

cozietoesie · 15/08/2017 21:19

I doubt Mr Mueller will be listening. Not personally anyway. Wink

CupFullOfSpiders · 15/08/2017 21:21

He says the left were violently attacking the other group. So the Neo-nazi's beating the man with sticks - we dreamt that? The horrific murder of an innocent woman - that too? Fucking hell Sad
On the plus side, I've never heard a POTUS get heckled like this in a press conference.
All the innocent white nationalists peacefully protesting their statue being taken down. They brought their guns and their nazi symbols to a peaceful protest. The nasty lefties came in and scared the poor defenceless gun toting white nationalists. Jesus. He's completely slamming the left and exonerating the white nationalists Shock

TheNorthWestPawsage · 15/08/2017 21:22

Oh my god! I cannot believe what he's saying in this press conference! But he is majorly rattled - definitely on the run!

cozietoesie · 15/08/2017 21:23

Of course. He's talking to his base. They're all that matter to him.

Trump says the mother of the woman killed said "the nicest things about me"

He is despicable. How dare he

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 15/08/2017 21:25

Oh my God. Shock

cozietoesie · 15/08/2017 21:29

He's discovering that not doing something can be as bad as doing something - depending on the circumstances. Oh to have been a fly on the wall when his 'people' .........persuaded him into speaking.

Because he was .........persuaded. Wink

badbadhusky · 15/08/2017 21:31

Sounds like this was a good prss conference NOT to see for the sake of my blood pressure.

cozietoesie · 15/08/2017 21:31

I reckon so.

Is there a link? I went for a soothing walk.

orlantina · 15/08/2017 21:35

Look at the way he puts his hand out to silence people.

badbadhusky · 15/08/2017 21:36

Where are you all watching?

Wow...Touchy.

PricklyBall · 15/08/2017 21:39

Good god, Cup, that is absolutely shocking and utterly vile. I am scraping my jaw off the floor that he could even say that.

CupFullOfSpiders · 15/08/2017 21:40

Someone slightly less hysterical than me right now needs to analyse a transcript of that press conference and analyse how much blame he puts on the left vs the right given that he was saying the violence was on both sides

I heard lots of criticism of the left (violent, no permit, aggressive, baseball bats) and none of the right (just that they're not all nazis, no mention of the guns, no mention of racist/nazi/supremacist symbols and chants, describing the protest the night before as "peaceful" when it involved white supremacist chants and symbolisms..)
