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

ok.....let me break it down real simple like. Yes people make mistakes all the time when rapid posting things from a phone.......doing that as the President of The United States....a person in a position to start a war......is really really really dumb.

Also, Occam's Razor would lead one to the conclusion that he posted something because he meant to post it. That's what people normally do. That's the case the vast majority of the time. It's the simplest explanation there is.

Your hypotheticals are the ones that require several assumptions.

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

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.

ohhhh so you want to one who who told a black person “of you vote for trump you ain’t black”

No. I'd say you're voting for a White Supremacist. People can vote however they want, but they can no longer reasonably claim they aren't supporting a white supremacist when they vote for Trump. That's been shown beyond all reasonable doubt.

I’m know fan of Trump but if you watch his 2 hour Tulsa rally you know he’s not senile.

I’m fairly certain Biden can’t make it two terms.

Does Joe Biden know what a shark is?

An article from NYT said people from his campaign stated he didn't hear the white power comment and he only retweeted it because he saw the support from the Trump 2020 flag. Is that reasonable? I don't know about that...

20,000 lies and counting in 3 and a half years. What's one more?

Voting for Biden is also voting for White Supremacy.

Decades ago, he stated he didn't want his children to "grow up in a racial jungle." Less further back, he described then-rival-candidate Obama as the "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." Months ago, he stated that if you don't vote for him as a black person, "you ain't black."

Sorry, but it's cut-and-dry. Both candidates are racists and both are pathetic for our country.

Yet the black community overwhelming supports Biden. They would better know who is racist than you.

Well, I suppose it is conceivable that there will be some black people who support a candidate who supports "white power", as Trump does. But hard to fathom - like anyone supporting Trump.

Why? Can white people not see discrimination, prejudice, or racism? I should just be silent when I hear someone white say the n word? What a joke.

If anything, white people joining minorities in calling out racists is the only thing that’s going to change our culture.

A few laws have been passed. Police defunded. State flags are changing. Statues coming down. Crazy Karen’s and Kens caught red-handed being racists via phone videos. This is only the beginning!!

He knows he's 15 points ahead of Trump in the polls.

The most likely reason is this is another grampa trying to use the internet situation. Any explanation that he is secretly trying to double agent signal his base is giving his low iq way too much credit.

The idea that Trump was intentionally committing political suicide is extremely unlikely.

I just confirmed that twitter by default (at least on my browser) will auto-play videos but keep them muted unless I un-mute them. So this is by far the most likely explanation. He was scrolling through his twitter, he sees the video auto-playing but by default it's muted, he either doesn't un-mute it or else he un-mutes it after the "white power" comment was already made (it happens at the beginning of the video). I think it is extremely plausible that he never heard the "white power" comment because twitter was auto-playing the video while keeping it muted.

The most logical reason for trump to do this:

He is losing badly and any attention to corona is a huge loser for him.

The BLM movement has created much anger at police. The crime rate in NYC has gone up substantially and pictures of police trying to investigate violent crimes and being stymied by crowds throwing things at them have been shown on CNN.

A white backlash is the only hope trump has for re-election. That why he tweeted the racist picture.

White people yelling "racist" at other white people as they drive by in golf carts with Trump signs is ridiculous. Where is the depiction of racism? Who is really being prejudiced in this scenario? It is a joke is to tell someone that they are a racist without every having a conversation with them. Yelling in someone's face is not having a conversation.

Yes, a few laws have passed and symbols, names, and statues are changing/coming down, but at the end of the day, do you honestly think these things will help poor black families that are subject to systematic racism? All I see is a bunch of visual stuff being changed, without actually helping people that need to be helped. Why did the Democrats block the police reform bill if they are so interested in truly helping others? This is all for political show and votes.

And in terms of the Karens and Kens being caught, don't even get me started on the toxic nature of the cancel culture. Every now and again the cancel culture gets it right, but they do more harm than good. Canceling people's lives on social media is a true depiction of mob mentality and fascism.

The president of the united states endorses a video of a man screaming "White Power" in support of said president and this guy says he's "pretty tired of all the racist talk." Well too bad, assh*le, you're gonna keep hearing it.

Obviously. When people stop using their brain and follow the mob, the insults never stop. Thank-you for proving my point.

It's just a joke bro, lighten up.

Personally I am extremely happy that OUR PRESIDENT (Hillary lost get over it liberals) has a little bit of humor in this extremely stressful time. I continue to pray for the health and safety of President Donald J. Trump and for his reelection and November.

On the other hand, Senile Joe is too low IQ to even get the joke. LOL :-)

At this point, when I read a post like this I don’t know if you are a troll or you really mean what you say. I truly hope you are trolling because no one should be that phucking dumb. Smh

Him accidentally tweeting such an inflammatory video is not "reasonable", no matter how much you argue it is.
