Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

What's he gotta do?

It's far too late for Trump to do anything except keep digging the hole he's stuck in. You can't insult millions of people and think there's some way out of that.

[notimportant1234]

I'm not arguing against that. I'm just saying that he took advantage, well not actually him but the people running his campaign, of this weakness that the US society had in 2016.

Edit: Actually, if I can generalize, I think most populists used this to get leverage in politics.

President Trump is a mysoginistc buffoon. Read a few of his tweets and it's obvious. Even people who voted for him think he's a joke.

But - I keep on hearing on NPR how "he's not doing enough to distance himself from white supremists".

....

What's he gotta do?

If he comes out and condems the skinheads and NAZIs- his detractors will just say he's insincere.

Perhaps if he publicly beheaded David Duke.

But then - he would be labeled a murderous freak who doesn't respect human life.

The orange schlub can't win.


I feel sorry for the dufus sometime....

Trump put himself in that hole by his constant lying and contradicting himself to a point no one believes anything he says

I wouldn't put it that way. Unfortunately far too many still believe that idiot.

I would say the hole he is digging IS out of his own desperation. The unfortunate part of his position and power is the fucker cannot see that even Nixon had better morals than he does.

Many people are unaware of even having absorbed contemporary white supremacist propaganda...leaving them in the hilarious position of not being white supremacists™, just agreeing with them.

It’s not just faux. Left leaning and unaffiliated media has done just as much. So much for liberal bias.

Yeah, Three Arrows has a pretty good video about this, and the example he gives about Computing Forever is honestly both illustrative and hilarious. He builds up a reputation mocking the more jackasstic parts of the left, and eventually he moves onto peddling conspiracy theories about the Great Replacement. And when the Data and Society report about the alt-right influencers on Youtube (for the record, he is mentioned in that report just as a small outlying dot in a web of alt-right YouTubers) comes out, he categorically claims “I have never promoted anything far right EVER.”

[Deesse23]

I disagree. It's just the usual stereotype reaction expected of him after such a horrible event. Within days be will be back to * normal*
There will be no change in strategy.

Well at least he hasn't yet said there were good people on both sides.

Once everything is a lie, nothing is a lie.
I think beyond a certain point many people arent concerned anymore with what is true or not, but what agrees with them and confirms them. 

Propaganda and disinformation at its worst.

If Trump hadn't been so racist, those boys would never have killed them people.

Better to condemn white supremacy than to not.
