Sorry SetPhaswers I didn't see you'd written about the 'defining moment'

He didn't take any questions yesterday.

And now this. And he was hoping for questions on infrastructure.

LukeCagesWife · 15/08/2017 22:27

The fucker.

Wait for facts? Like you did with the Swedish Terrorist attack? Like you did when you called out Saddique Khan?

Bastard.

Embarrassed because their factories are overseas? Where the fuck are Trump products made?

Oh and lest we forget, the counter protesters didn't have a permit and were just as bad? What the fuck happened to democracy you orange fucker?

How dare he.

Jobs will ease race relations? Really? No they won't not with a Nazi apologist president. a million jobs is a piss in the ocean with US population numbers.

How dare he. May I hope you are proud of holding his hand.

He is giving oxygen to neo nazi white supremacists world wide. I'm waiting for the NF to start their shit now.

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. I'm sickened.

To everyone who feels scared, marginalized, or in danger because of the words of this president: We stand with you. And we won't back down.

When they think their own arses are on the line.

I didn't see the press conference but have read the BBC articles. All I can say is WTAF?! Did he really just say all that shit?!

I don't know whether to celebrate this as the beginning of the end or cry that it's still going on.

Great and good American presidents seek to unite not divide. Donald Trump’s remarks clearly show he is not one of them.

LukeCagesWife · 15/08/2017 22:36

I cannot believe that he has whatsbouted the alt-left. He may as well state that they cause Heather Heyer's death.

Please god let this be the final low.

I've just seen this Desmond Tutu quote on Facebook:

"If you are neutral in situations of justice, you ave chosen the side of the oppressor."

OhYouBadBadKitten · 15/08/2017 22:42

just watched the presser in disbelief and horror.
No matter what happens next it's going to be difficult to put the genie back in the bottle.

LukeCagesWife · 15/08/2017 22:44

rousette. Yes. Walmart a company with ethics so low that their own staff use food stamps in their stores and sell firearms has condemned Trump yet the GOP are still supporting him?

I like to think that even some bigots raised an eyebrow tonight.

I'm angry and scared and I'm not even in the US.

I do wish our politicians were as open and vocal though. It's useful.

Article from BBC about Bannon: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40940931

Could Trump really be turning on him? Anything to save his own skin I guess.

badbadhusky · 15/08/2017 22:45

I thought Twitter #Charlottesville would cheer me up, but there seem to be loads of right wing nuts tweeting the equivalent of "right on!" so it made me feel worse.

I think Anthony Scaramucci was spot on about Steve Bannon

Twitter is on fire at the mo and CNN is making for interesting viewing right now...

HowDoYouFeelNow · 15/08/2017 22:55

Fucking scum. How in hell can people still be defending him?

"what about the alt left who came charging at them? do they have any semblance of guilt? what about the fact that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs do they have any problem? I think they do. So you know as far as I'm concerned that was a horrible horrible day
i'm not finished fake news

That was a horrible day

you had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent

You had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very very violent.

but not all of those people were neo nazis believe me not all those people were white supremacists

and you would know if you were honest reporters which many of you are not

they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of REL"

I cannot believe these are the words of the President of the United States of America. No condemnation of the Nazis at all. Instead saying the counter protests were just as bad, before inferring, no, they were worse! Why? Because they didn't have a permit!

No, not neo Nazis at all. Just shouting "blood and soil" for no reason. They weren't white supremacists. Just shouting "go and fuck off back to Africa" to keep a statue. And no, what they did wasn't terrorism. Not at all. Because terrorism can only be done by people who can be stopped by "the Travel Ban" giving an "extra level of safety".

WTF is he on? You cannot defend the indefensible.

squoosh · 15/08/2017 22:59

Wouldn't it be 'funny' if the thing that finished Trump wasn't Russia at all, but his defense of American neo-Nazis. I can imagine Republicans wailing at what he said today, worried that their careers will get dragged down with his. I expect many of them (apart from Sessions) will be releasing statements distancing themselves from what he's said.The Tories get called the Nasty Party, will the Republicans be tarred as the Nazi Party?
