Has Trump Jumped the Shark?!? Posts "White Power" video on twitter

So the question now is would you rather have an arrogant racist or an arrogant racist who is senile?

The real question is: how many Tweets has DTJ deleted in his time in office? None? 1? If this is the first, then he knows he messed up. He's the proudest egomaniac on the planet, never admits fault, so this sucks for him...

I'd rather have the one that didn't just tweet a "White Power" video.

There's no way to rationalize this.

Voting for Trump is voting for White Supremacy.

I assume both refer to Trump.

Yeah, there's no way anyone can draw equivalence between Biden and Trump. Vote Libertarian or Green if you really can't vote for Biden.

Before I saw the video, I assumed it was some guy in the background that would be hard to see or hear. Not the case, one can't miss hearing or seeing him. It was purposeful by Trump.

I think deserves its own thread beyond the Trump thread cesspit.

This is nuts.

Same here.....Trump has done a lot of dumb sht but I was still surprised to see the White Power part was at the very beginning of the video, loud and clear 5 feet from the camera. I mean at a quick glance it's not clear it's a Trump video, but very very very clear that it's a White Power video.

I think this is it for Trump. No way people can pretend he's not a white supremacist now and that'll be enough to swing the middle voters.

Biden is a wet noodle who doesn't represent much, but now he represents a vote against a white supremacist. A predict a lot of middle ground Republicans just stay home. Biden doesn't scare them and they don't want to have to tell their kids they supported a White Power President.

How Fox News brainwashed are you? It’s not even close at this point. Donald Trump has completely lifted the veil. Not only is the White Power statement extremely clear (and at the beginning of the entire video) but the language and message it sends is terrible. The American people have never been more divided and he’s the one pulling the strings. Don’t worry though, he took some time off from tweeting racist videos to golf twice this weekend on your tax dollars while millions are unemployed due to a global pandemic.

Are you insinuating that Trump isn't senile? He absolutely is.

Trump is ignorant and lazy, but he is not senile.

Oh no?

40% of people are still going to vote for him. Even if he wears a kkk hood to rallies.

Further evidence that LRC has no idea what “Jump the shark” means

I think you didn't get it.

Highly unlikely it was purposeful, unless he was trying to commit political suicide. I'll bet if you thought about it for 15-30 seconds you could figure out a more reasonable explanation of why Trump tweeted a video with a guy shouting "white power."

huh? what are you even talking about? There is absolutely no way anyone watching even 15 seconds of that video could have missed the very loud and very clear "White Power!"

He also took the time to type a response to the video, so it wasn't an accidental tweet.

I didn't vote for Trump and won't be voting for him this year but what is offensive about saying "white power"? People say "black power" all the time, is that also offensive?

Which Presidential candidate is running on a black power platform?

Why do you think Trump deleted it if it’s not a problem to say white power?
