This might interest you Stirling and hopefully give a reality check;

But on the flatlands of social media, the border between Mr. Trump and white supremacists easily blurs. He has retweeted supportive messages from racist or nationalist Twitter accounts to his nine million followers. Last fall, he retweeted a graphic with fictitious crime statistics claiming that 81 percent of white homicide victims in 2015 were killed by blacks. (No such statistic was available for 2015 at the time; the actual figure for 2014 was 15 percent, according to the F.B.I.)

In January and February he retweeted messages from a user with the handle @WhiteGenocideTM, whose profile picture is of George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party. A couple of days later, in quick succession, he retweeted two more accounts featuring white nationalist or Nazi themes. Mr. Trump deleted one of the retweets, but white supremacists saw more than a twitch of the thumb. “Our Glorious Leader and ULTIMATE SAVIOR has gone full wink-wink-wink to his most aggressive supporters,” Mr. Anglin wrote on The Daily Stormer.

In fact, Mr. Trump’s Twitter presence is tightly interwoven with hordes of mostly anonymous accounts trafficking in racist and anti-Semitic attacks. When Little Bird, a social media data mining company, analyzed a week of Mr. Trump’s Twitter activity, it found that almost 30 percent of the accounts Mr. Trump retweeted in turn followed one or more of 50 popular self-identified white nationalist accounts.

Who knows.

You wrote, ' I can't believe people in this day and age are defending (and defending the defence of) the KKK and Nazi's.'.

I asked you who is defending these groups.

And you come back with this reply and accuse me of being mentally unwell.....Sigh.

Again, what comments has Trump come out with that support far right groups?

As for Trump's twitter feed. I know that his enemies abound on that feed and look to trip him up all the time....you get tricks being played all the time and then people like you repeat things without the context.

Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong. Is Trump looking at tweets he receives? I very much doubt it....He gets many thousands...I imagine he has massive filters and people involved....Still gullible people like you will believe whatever negative stuff you hear.

I know Trump plays soft focus on the far right for several reasons I've already state that but again.

What has Trump said that shows support for far right groups. I've heard him criticise them....I've asked this several times now and all I get back is your limp wristed response.

One late night wag said that Trump has traded in his racist dog whistle for a vuvuzela.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Now you are coming across as a a far right sympathiser if you aren't on a wind up. Read my post again slowly. He's retweeted - as in he likes - stuff from neo-nazis. You like coming the big 'un and calling people liars on here often don't you? Well time you looked in the mirror and realised that you are being one too. A liar. To yourself.

No Kermit, if you think I sympathize with the aims of the far right, you're an idiot. I've criticised them countless times....obviously flies over your head.

I repeat again, what has Trump said in support of the far right.

Once again, I find this idea that Trump is controlling what is retweeted of the thousands of messages he receives as dubious....Maybe, maybe not. I know for a fact that his enemies look to trip him up all the time on twitter....they sit on there all the time.

I don't even like most of Trump's policies....but unlike the 'progressives' on here I believe in rational fair analysis. You just show me suspicion.

I know Trump is soft focused on those groups for the reasons that they vote for him....that said he has criticised them and rightly so.

Maybe he's said something I haven't catched but so far I haven't seen anything wrong with his comments.

I don't buy into your virtue signalling Olympics sorry.

Tim Pool has a good video out about the violence in Charlottesville and how this event is being used.

It's more for those who are interested in listening to the non hysterical. He also points out the unethical practices that individuals will go to present an agenda.

I support everything he said. I think any person of reason would too.

1. Virtue signalling is the last desperate retort of a flounderer. You c***, caring about things.

2. You are sounding like DT now.

I wasn't calling you s c*** .far from it. I was saying accusing someone of virtue signalling is calling them out for caring or giving a s*** about stuff.

Apologies if yer offended, none was meant.

You're still starting to sound like Trump though .

I beginning to think progressives feel that anyone who doesn't agree with them 'sounds like Trump'.
