Three days later and two days (at least) behind everyone else. #Leadership He's issued comments against them before. They vote for him so he's more soft focus on them. But it isn't objective to see Trump as supporting white supremacy. Trump's a nationalist. It's like calling Gordon Brown a communist.

It's like calling Gordon Brown a communist. Personally I think he's more of a popularist posing as a nationalist. But that's just an opinion - I don't think Trump really cares about the US only about certain elements of the US interests that benefit him and his.

Well they are all labels and maybe some are more accurate than others. At the end of Trump's tenure he'll be mostly judged on the economy like all presidents. The other stuff, some will hate him for and some love him for...like all presidents. Of course I'd like America to have aspects of part socialism that we have....single payer healthcare, for example. (it's not ideal but it's the better overall system).....their system is set up for stalemate though...so something radical like that to them....it isn't likely to happen unless there is some kind of democratic landslide.....and the democrats with their current love affair with white guilt just aren't going to ever get that.....Maybe this will change of maybe in fifty years once enough people who know BS when they smell it have died off. But then again, I'd like us to have their first amendment....I'd like their stronger commitment to cultural nationalism....ours is far less corny and low key but unfortunately multiculturalism has left us with a requirement for some kind of answer in that sphere.

I think I'm more reasonable than you perhaps on this topic certainly. This doesn't mean that I think you are a bad person. Indeed much of your Trump rejection is probably coming from a good place. We all have our hot buttons where objectivity is difficult...that said, I think we should always look to mitigate those.....Not saying that rants and knockabout has its place but that a certain perspective is also important. There's no need to continue debating this with you. For example, I gave you stats from the Government Accountability Office and you questioned them because they failed to match your presumption of balance in bad behaviour. By a mere gesture such evidence was wafted aside. "Trump's not all bad and Sanders isn't all good, so you can't pick between the two." In a nutshell, you're the adult / real man in the room (at 260lbs of almost pure muscle) and everyone else is a poor, uninformed fool who needs to listen to your sage teachings. Meanwhile...

People have short memories. It's the danger of normalising extreme behaviour. After Trump gave his scripted speech about how right wing violence is bad, he called CNN fake news as he walked off without answering questions. Later tweeted that "fake news" media are the "truly bad people". Today, Trump retweeted a cartoon that showed a CNN reporter being run down by a speeding "Trump train". Just think about this in sequence. A right wing extremist / terrorist murders a counter-protester and injures many others by hitting them with a speeding car; then Trump says there was bad action "on many sides"; then he gets shamed into actually condemning the perpetrators; then he says the media is worse and then he rejoices in a depiction of a reporter getting killed by a speeding train. This is not normal. Attachment: 16dc-trump-tweet-master675.png (455.00Kb)

I've agreed there is a problem in the US with the far right more so than here. I cast doubt on those figures because they appear to be missing deaths I know have been caused by the far left so....if something isn't objective I don't really trust it...explain that to me and maybe I will trust it. But while groups like Antifa are a growing problem I don't doubt that far right groups are probably a bigger one. But regardless the vast majority on both sides regard these people as extremists. As for my exact percentage of musculature, this will remain a mystery until Kermit takes me on in a well intentioned arm's wrestle. You are free not to debate me, sure. I hold no gripe either way. Enjoy life and be free brother. Edited by Stirlingsays (15 Aug 2017 5.35pm)

I also disagree with their tactics of hounding speakers at universities and elsewhere. While the right to freedom of speech is only constitutionally guaranteed free of government censorship (that's the bit that many people forget), speakers should not be denied a public platform just because a minority doesn't think they're going to like what they expect to hear. Let them speak and then agree / debate / denounce as you feel appropriate.

The freedom to express your opinion and ideas.....though obviously within reasonable bounds. I don't like any politician mucking around with that. I hear there is some suspicion about Trump and the Internet....Hopefully not.
