Ooft! Trump, A Step Too Far

[bobbs202]

Watching the news ( didn't see the earlier bulletin as I was out) for his so called supporters chanting "Get her Out" about the Somalian Congress lady
I always said he's not afraid to say it as it is but this is wrong,so wrong

[Buenchico]

I agree that his original comments were wrong but he has, at least, said that he disagreed with the chanting:

He should have told them to shut up, then. Odious man.

[bobbs202]

He watered down his response with 'it was a 'little ' uncomfortable , a little?

[Ken4155]

Didn't appear to want them to stop chanting though, chico. And he knew what they would do as soon as he mentioned her name. I think he is playing a very dangerous game. Not that he has a racist bone in his body, of course.

[bobbs202]

Chris , I must have seen another bit of his response but the word ' little ' was definitely used

[Peter Pedant]

send her back....

I remember as a UK teenage gov George Wallace's career as a racist in 1968 and beyond
and it was nothing like this....

remember these rallies are for the 'faithful' - no one is converted by these rallies - as in 'oo I didnt think of that - yeah send her back!'

The chants were at HIS rally, so no doubt they may well have been chanting in order to impress Pres Trump that once again, in their eyes, he is right.
Pres Trump may have been advised, quickly, to disassociate himself but needs/wants to keep his supporters on his side. Hence, the meely-mouthed response.

Wow, another anti-Trump story on the aBBC. Don't see many of them, do you?

[douglas9401]

At least he'll be dead one day then all this can be put right, hopefully.

[bobbs202]

Spice ,this was ITV News at Ten

[Ken4155]

And the Channel 4 news. And, i dare say, many other news channels.

[douglas9401]

Fake nooz, so fake.

[Spicerack]

There's only one link on this thread, me dear, an aBBC one.
How the hell do you think anyone on AB knows or cares what nonsense you watch? (All msm lies about everything, anyway)

[bobbs202]

Douglas,nowt fake about it ,horribly sad that this can happen in 2019, reminiscent of Hitlers Germany,uncomfortable watching

[bobbs202]

Spice , I'm sure no one is interested in what I watch, ( you're right) but this is a Q&A site, is it not?

[KARL]

Really curious: Quoting Trump and/or describing his communications is regarded as an Anti-Trump story. What would constitute a pro-Trump story - misquoting him, in fact lying ?

[douglas9401]

I know bobbs, it was typed in the style of Dead Ringers. Jeez.

[bobbs202]

Sorry Douglas, bit slow ( must be my age haha)

[TonyV]

Trump needs a better PR department, but I'm sure he will over rule any sensible decision they make.

[bobbs202]

He's certainly a law unto himself Tony
