i think this was sunday
im not sure what else he is supposed to say
if it is me i condemn all violence and all hate from all sides and i make no apologies - especially if i have already called the racists out many times over.
he makes a lot of mistakes but the media has disagreed in some way with everything he has done/said from the campaign through when he was sworn in and the media holds power over the masses
Of course the Trump haters are going to hate. Not sure why you (and X, and others) dwell on them. If you're busy whining about what's being said on MSNBC, then you're not likely to be near any intelligent dialog.
I think that most people felt that the quote you cite hit the mark. Sure, the haters don't...and many think it should have been said that way a day earlier, but I, for one, thought he was on target and getting it right.
Today, you'll get no such acknowledgement from me. Within 24 hours, he completely wiped out any 'progress' he was making. That quote was straight off a teleprompter....but the next day, without a script, he backed off from it and it was sad.
I'm no shrink, but I believe that he's such an egomaniac that it killed him to have had someone else's words fed to him to try to 'correct' his initial statements. By Tuesday, he couldn't contain himself any longer and needed to revert to his initial message. I still don't think that he's a racist or a supremacists supporter. I do think he's ill qualified to lead the country. Why is he still campaigning? His ego says that he won the election by appealing to certain base issues/concerns and that's where he's comfortable. But, for crissakes, he's the president of ALL Americans and I just don't think he gets that...or doesn't really care. Not sure which is worse.
