Donald Trump shares horrific photo of bloodied corpse to attack rival Nancy Pelosi
Source: Metro
The President of the United States shared a photo of a mans body draped over a metal fence on Monday morning. The image is apparently that of an anti-government protester killed in Iran.
Metro has chosen to pixelate the image, which is too disturbing to share uncensored as President Trump did.
The original tweet which Trump shared said:
Question: Who in America supports this mullahs crime? Answer : Nancy Pelosi #NancyPelosiFakeNews #IranProtests2020 #IranPortests (sic)

(45,380 posts)Asshole is claiming that because our side opposes the way he chose to commit an unlawful execution of a foreign government official, that means we support that foreign government's unlawful executions of their civilians.
It's deplorable logic at it's worst.

(6,241 posts)I dont agree with it, but I get it. Its like when people were talking about how some human rights violations may have happened with the death of bin Laden, others would retort with pics of the WTC on fire. This is the work of the man youre concerned for kind of thing. Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of US service personnel. He was also responsible for the deaths of hundreds or thousands of Iranians during protests.
Like I said, I dont agree with trumps reasoning, just trying to wrap my head around it.

(43,062 posts)Glad someone can Read Trump's Mind. Should be a hashtag.
He tweeted a photo of a bloodied corpse to the Speaker of the House. A woman! Classy, not.
Not sure what kind of message that sends. Or maybe he's feeling snowflaked by impeachment.

(6,241 posts)Im just saying I understand the mindset. And in other circumstances, I might agree with the argument. I wouldnt shy away from sending something like that to Pelosi. Shes not a delicate flower. Shes a person with a lot of power. And the message is that this person whos killing youre up in arms about was a terrible human, and has killed a lot of people. Too bad HIS victims (in this case, people protesting for freedom against an authoritarian theocratic regime) didnt have you looking out for them.
Just like if someone was angry about the execution of Timothy McVeigh. You show them the ruins of the federal building he bombed. You show them the picture of the firefighter holding the baby that died. You try to shame them into joining your side.
It is, at its heart, a manipulative and dishonest argument. A straw man attack. But its effective.

(21,346 posts)pics of dead Kurds, Puerto Rican death stats and him throwing paper towels at them, and kids in cages, with death stats on refugees in custody.
But we also need to directly refute his lies about dead Iranians. Distinguish between opposition to his unprovoked attacks and support for Iran's crimes. Perhaps counter with Saudi murders and Trump's support of them. Or Trump's support of Duterte's murders. Or his love for the North Koreans who caused the death of an American student.

I never got sucked into Twitter, but I quit Facebook years ago. It's easy. It's liberating. It's the right thing to do.

(35,622 posts)People don't realize that his use of twitter is what gives him a bludgeon to keep the republicans in line. If he didn't have that, they would not fear his cheap attacks so much. We might have some splintering in that party that would allow for a fair impeachment trial in the Senate.
Letting him abuse the TOS like he does is a disgrace. He makes a fool out of himself and of the United States every day.
Who would be a good person to head up this campaign? I am thinking someone with celebrity status, like Bette Midler.

(12,712 posts)Of the rivers of blood that will eventually flow copiously as his agenda advances. It is getting more obvious and we should be seeing more verbal references to his incredible hatred and increasing lust for violence now.
Obviously, we have to either get this madman with his lust for power away from the wheel, or we have some very dark and gruesome days to come. I don't see a compromise here. When you know that his goal is complete power, what else would you expect? It is so bad, that he could very well take everyone and everything down with him should his strategy fail.

If a president is allowed to publish something this vile on media that can be seen world-wide in the blink of an eye (including to millions of children around the globe with smart phones), then he should be shamed and censured in public with a demand for a public apology.
Trump seems to want Twitter to serve him in two incompatible ways: both as a venue for making official government proclamations and for posting vile content one might see inked on a shithouse wall.

(5,275 posts)He has it all, greed, evil, stupid. He likes to brag but the reality is he inherited 55 Million from Daddy and managed to go bankrupt. Of course he is also morally bankrupt.
I think he is consistently bleeding non far right folks, particularly women, especially College educated women.
We pick the right ticket and run a strong campaign.....and remain vigilant in watching for malfeasance.....and we should oust him and hopefully see him soon in a Jumpsuit matching his skin color.
Just getting back to some kind of normal will be a relief.
