Pleas stop twisting yourself into knots to defend Trumps comments regarding Nazis... Its really quite simple... When Nazis march openly on a college campus shouting Nazi slogans and making Nazi salutes and it results in violence and death you DONT in ANY way try to make ANY excuse for ANY of the people involved in that kind evil. At the very BEST he is the stupidest person on earth for using that opportunity to defend people on the side the Nazis were on. More likely hes supporting people he knows support him and helped him get elected. And by the way the Nazis and the white supremacists took his words as SUPPORT for their efforts. They released public statements thanking him and were super stoked that the President of the United States was "coming to their defense" on the issue.
So just stop... Trying to defend Trump trying to defend hate groups does you NO good... Believe me... Especially using a simple tongue in cheek comment about Trump's history of defending bad people and not good people (you really didnt see the pattern at all?) to spring board into some long silly speech about the TECHNICAL aspect of his words and how its all a BIG mistake. Get ****ing serious. It was one more brick in the wall showing what a terrible terrible person he is. And we got that yet again this past week when he defended people in his administration who beat their wives. Or are you going to post some nonsense about how TECHNICALLY he wasnt defending them either when he said they were good people who did a "great job"?
I take it you disagree, Irex.
Okay, assuming your stance (which is a popular one) is entirely correct, does this mean that Trump was also saying there were some fine people among Antifa - who showed up armed, with battle gear and makeshift flamethrowers, who began physical attacks, who hurled balloons full of feces and urine at people (let's face it, saving up enough feces to make a balloon arsenal takes some major planning - this wasn't a spur of the moment thing).
He had to have meant that the violent sh*t hurlers who ended up hurting innocent bystanders were "fine people" because that's what he said - that there were FINE PEOPLE on BOTH SIDES - so he HAD to be talking about the ones with the flamethrower and the piss balloons and the car killer. Right? Because he said "both sides." (Did he mean both sides of those starting riots?)
I don't think so because afterward he condemned
all the people who engaged in violence, and Antifa members acting violently were not the only people surrounding the statue controversy - as said earlier, it was going on long before the 2 days when things exploded and there were just regular people, some just local people supporting the monuments of their southern heritage and some who found offensive in them (fine ones among them who were neither Nazis nor about to burn or hurl poop at people).
Still, assuming Trump is a Nazi - how could he let his daughter marry and convert to Judaism? Maybe he was powerless to stop it, but he could have at least disowned her as any good Nazi would. But instead he makes her his top business associate and advisor and makes his Jewish son-in-law an international envoy!
I mean, it's still understood that Nazi's haven't gone progressive, right? They simply do not allow people who openly accept or even condone Jewish relatives into the group - that's probably like one of their top qualifications.
Last, how does this Nazi, get up in front of the world and support Israel, and not just that but recognize their right as a sovereign nation to name their capital (for which most of the world wants to crucify him)? Pretty dangerous stance, not just for a President, but for a Nazi? If a Nazi did that, it's a pretty sure bet they don't want to be a Nazi.
Serious question - how do you reconcile Trump being a Nazi (or at least a Nazi supporter) and loving Jews, having Jewish family that he interacts with regularly, appointing minorities to cabinet positions, and being allied with Israel and currently their greatest supporter? Last checked, being a Nazi and a Pro-Semite were still mutually exclusive.
