You hate hearing and seeing the words President Trump don't you.
He is the President of the United States of America.
All of your slights and passive aggressive disrespect wont change that.
It's obvious you're the one being childish by not acknowledging that.

I think he should be held accountable when he is transparently appealing to those types.
What the hell does that even mean?
You're fabricating a narrative so that you can call President Trump a racist. He appeals to who ever he appeal's to and they can twist his message just as well as the MSM and liberal congress can.

Axios/MSM are tripling down this morning calling Trump a xenophobe racist. They only show their bias; it is tired and quite old, and no one thinks this but the minority progressive communist democrats.
Meanwhile...

So why did Twitter unfollow Trump for me? I certainly didn't unfollow him.
Same reason that likes and RTs get deleted. @Jack censorship of anyone conservative that questions their chosen narrative.

Also, just to be clear I don't think Trump is a racist xenophobe. He doesn't care about race, immigrants, illegal immigrants, Israel, etc. He cares about making people like you happy and getting re-elected and he's willing to say whatever it takes to do that. He will never back down from any comment (he's well schooled in Roger Stone-ism) and he will do a 180 in messaging without issue. This has been proven time and time again.
However, some of us understand that rhetoric is a powerful device especially from someone with a powerful persona. Hence the concern.

I know I have had RT's and likes deleted, as well as twitter taking it upon themselves to unfollow Trump for me. I also lost over 200 followers over night.
Is this THEE Jack?

He won't GAF.

Why?

Trump’s tweet Pros:
- shames problematic corrupt countries into cleaning up their act?
- makes minority congresswomen realize that they should be making more effort to help troubled countries?
- emboldens his base that believes minorities with ancestral ties to “shithole” countries will import an ideology that will turn this country into a “shithole”. American white awakening occurs, and election victories will ensure perennially?
- Increases Proud Boyz man-crush on Trump.
You’ll have to help me out in the pros because I really don’t see any.
Cons:
- reaffirms criticisms that MAGA is really MAWA, pushing moderates away at the ballot box.
- gives D party more fodder to firm up the black vote and increase D voter participation.
- makes US president look bigoted, divisive.
- opens R party to more criticisms of being an enabler, turning their backs to an unhinged leader.

Hyperbole much? Just because you spend half your time and energy on it doesn't mean everyone else does too.

"they do it too" is a pretty bad defense. His original tweet was a bad look.
Not sure why this is controversial.
Trump is driving a wedge right down the middle of the Democrats.
Once the herd is splintered, it will be easy to pick them off one at a time.

Also, I am pretty vague on the concept of an ally, particularly ones in crucial, strategic locations.
Israel is a strategic liability.
We have no treaty obligations to Israel. Nor would they be interested in signing any such document.

I see the playroom is full of the usual trumpkins this morning.

Israel is a major military power in a region that is unstable, they are a tech giant and we use that tech in our society everyday, and they are one of the top foreign countries where American nationals reside (200k+) so we have a lot of reason to make sure they are safe.

Really? I see it as exactly the opposite. He’s making sure D’s show up in anti-Trump force in 2020. Hillary lost in part because black people weren’t motivated enough to go to the ballot box. Every tweet like this means more anti-Trump voter turnout.
If you don’t believe me, look at how local elections in the midterm were swayed by voters who voted down party lines. There was an unusually high turnout of people who showed up and pressed the D button. That’s the power of anti-Trump voters.

He’s still saying congresswomen, confirming the initial tweet wasn’t about just Omar. He even specifically mentions foul language, which is a direct reference to Tlaib who was born in Michigan.
He needs to drop this shite.
No, he absolutely needs to continue to call out this shite whenever he feels the need!
The Left has enjoyed being able to say anything without fear or recrimination. It doesn't work against Trump.
