"Only my life matters!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!




Donald (Born in Arrears) Trump is saying: "It's not like Charlottesville happened on my watch!. . . . If it wasn't for bad actors like Obama who worked up crowds about civil rights and justice for everyone, this mob wouldn't never have attacked the Unification March, I think is what they called it. . . . I'm trying to be fair. . . You can't blame me for what these left wing thugs are thinking."




************************************

Above CAPTION based on Trump's tepid response to the Charlottesville riots of 8.12.17 as covered by CNN:

That was the only direct eye contact with the camera that he made during that speech. He looked right into the camera when he said that. To me, clearly a wink and a nod to the scumbags.

He began with a written statement about condemning violence. Then he seemed to pivot to an ad-libbed comment about "on all sides"--his voice sounded more emphatic as if this is what he really meant. He meant to say he wasn't blaming the alt-right. Listen again and you will hear the change in tone from flat to emphatic. And I read some tweeted reactions from them that said as much: "he's not blaming us".
