What is happening is not necessarily bad for Trump.

Most Americans view radicals on both sides

Most don't agree with history erasing

Most like honest straight shooting coming from Trump

at least, that's what i think.

Only way to find out is at ballot box.

Short term it's bad. Long term, maybe not.

This is a subject that has been taboo for a long time. Trump is taking it head on. Trump's history has shown that his negative cycles are pretty short lived and he ends up having a stronger positive cycle.

At some point, all he has to do is remind everyone that he was a misogynist, then a Russian sympathizer, then a hothead with his finger on the nuclear button, then a racist, etc., etc.

That will resonate with the people.

We'll just see. The left supports antifa and blm etc. Trump doesn't support them. We'll see how America feels about the situation.

It's not bad for Trump because people have short attention spans and at the end of the day, nobody really cares about this stuff

Now if this type of bad narrative last for Trump's entire candidacy, then yeah...it's bad

I too would appreciate honest straight shooting from Trump, but I haven't seen any yet.

Leftists are overplaying their hands too rapidly again. It will come back to bite them bigly in the future.

The more attention these people give 45, the more people will defend 45, the more 45 remains relevant in American life, the more elevated and galvanized the support base becomes, the greater likelihood he remains POTUS especially in today's social media culture. Hell, we haven't been without a two-termer since 1992 that's a LONG time.

People only think TRUMP is in trouble if they watch the fake news media.

When David Duke comes out praising your words.

It's bad.

Quintessential "glass half full" statement! Boy, some of you are wearing rose colored glasses. This week will not sink his presidency, but by most measures it was bad. Even his closest supporters recognize that.

What Trump did is great for one simple reason. All my life I've seen Republican politicians get hammered by the leftist press. When that happens they heel like a whipped dog and apologize or 'evolve' on their positions.

Trump tells them 'frick You.' I love it. It's more than I could have ever hoped for when he first got elected.

It's not bad at all, actually.

His voters will still vote for him.

It will be good for him. He came out against all sides so he is clear from blame if they do anything else. He is the only one to come out against the alt-left which is the most likely side to start more trouble . The events could get him more white working class votes . Every time BLM had a riot his numbers went up before the election .
