(127 posts)He will just go off script into yet another ridiculous rant. He cannot help himself from another tap-dance down jackass lane. He has been fenced in and locked up on WH grounds and probably sick of it. No golf, no Mar-a-F*cko, and protesters everywhere. Meltdown for sure.

gang sign during his speech?

(12,409 posts)Just yesterday, my husband shared that when he was about 10 years old, his father took him to a KKK meeting/cross burning etc stuff...He ran home, frightened...then got his ass beat when his dad came home...for embarrassing him...They lived in the Lebanon-Wilmington Ohio farm country..
Botany
(70,516 posts)... protests were either from or had connections to the Lebanon/SW OH area. Trump knew who
he was talking to when he was praising Robert E Lee in Oct. of 2018.
Trump's core base of about 25% of America will never leave him because he gave them the
right to use the n****r word again in public and with pride. BTW these white dumb asses
that Trump sees as his base would never be welcomed @ one of his clubs.
FarPoint
(12,409 posts)My husband never share the childhood memory until yesterday...I think he blocked it...but it indeed has been a triggered memory/trauma with the protesting. It is bad around here...not obvious but there is always a sense of white control...it is becoming so obvious now...the protesting has been enlightening...answers my underlying creepy feeling I experience, being white...yet knowing something is "present" within a rural community like Lebanon...Yes, it is inner city too but I always felt the creepy/ gut feeling stuff when going into rural area... Now I know.
Botany
(70,516 posts)... Cincinnati the rural aspect is just a cover for their generational bigotry. And it is not just limited to
S.W. OH too. I knew of Jewish family from Bexely, OH (Columbus, OH) who moved to rural Knox
County, OH because they wanted to live in the country but had to move out with in a year because of
the crap they had to put up with from the locals. Their daughter had a birthday party .... 2nd or 3rd
grade level and so they invited some of the local kids to the party along with a couple of her black
friends from Columbus and some of the local parents were furious that they had exposed their precious
kids to not only jews but blacks too.
When Trump does his "White Power" gang sign it is not by accident and he is sending message to his
bigoted base.

(12,409 posts)It is like a storm cloud is hovering...tRumps racisms is 100% .The Protests are just the beginning of a huge battle ahead...the embedded racist are many.
Botany
(70,516 posts)His dad was arrested @ a Klan riot/rally in Brooklyn, Donald and Fred Trump's apartment
company had to pay the largest fine in the history of the DoJ for housing discrimination,
and nothing could be more racist then his birther crap. "Hey boy you don't look like you
are from around here let me see your papers."
Vlad Putin has also been and still is fanning the flames of racial division in America in order to
help Trump and to weaken America too. Much of the screaming "butt hurt" about the NFL players
kneeling was ramped up on social media from Russia. 3 web sites "stand for the troops", stand
for the flag", and "stand for the anthem" were out of St. Petersburg and both Trump and Fox
News promoted those web sites.
FarPoint
(12,409 posts)it fell on deaf hears....we were shunned for even thinking taking a knee was about racism, the recognition of unarmed blacks being shot/killed by police Told how dare we disgrace the American Flag..well they were resisting the truth...put up a faux patriotic wall to hide behind.

Donald Trump says he hopes George Floyd, who was killed by police on Memorial Day after an officer forced his knee on the back of his neck for nearly nine minutes while facing the ground in handcuffs, is "looking down right now" and saying today is a "great thing that's happening for our country" as the nation's unemployment rate declined but remains higher than during the Great Recession.
The president said: "Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, 'This is a great thing that's happening for our country. It's a great day for him, it's a great day for everybody. It's a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day."
Asked how the rate of unemployment among black Americans can be considered a "victory" as it continues to increase, the president told a reporter outside the White House, "You are really something."
Is there any doubt that he's literally an evil madman?
(and BTW the above unemployment rate figures are the erroneous too low values that are not corrected for many unemployed being misclassified as employed, an "about 3 percentage points" error in the overall unemployment rate. There are no corrected values anywhere -- https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=13560715 ).
Mike Nelson
(9,959 posts)... Let's say he gives an appropriate speech, stays on script, and takes no questions. It's true that his supporters will stick with him, even if they don't agree with the speech. However, it's way to late for most people - there has never been a horse so far out of the barn.
Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)"horse's ASS" He has no idea how to placate people, but now things are too far out of his control to take a step back. He is uncouth, no class, no understanding, no empathy. He is an empty shell. I suppose this is another idea from the brains of the outfit - Ivanka?
Maxheader
(4,373 posts)no doubt..These turn out to be, as usual, "explanations"

blakstoneranger
(333 posts)He has pandered too much to the far right media--his stephen miller speech will look like a campaign speech desparate attempt to help himself. Remember when rudi guilliani spoke for trump about the charlottsville--trump hated rudi for that speech, he said it made him sound weak. Believe me, he will surely "dork" this up!
barbtries
(28,799 posts)this will really bring the nation together, to heal and love one another, black or white, christian or jew, woman or man or girl or boy, justice warrior or nazi militia.
this should go well. especially if he goes off script, which he very well may. White supremacist would be king says what?
oldsoftie
(12,555 posts)Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)is the ONLY speech anyone is interested in now. Too late for anything else. In fact he should apologize for even thinking he could handle the job of president. Way, way out of his capabilities. Maybe he will let Ivanka make the speech, in her breathy Marilyn Monroe impersonation? Flashing her fake smile full of oversized teeth.

(4,849 posts)jb5150
(1,178 posts)There is no way he can now say the Mr. Floyd's death was wrong, without implicating the police, and the systemic racism within that system, as the cause of his death. There is no way he can say, after having his secret army tear gas and assault peaceful protesters, that those protesters had a legitimate right to protest.

(7,901 posts)He cannot now, in person, own up to what he has already tweeted and spoken and conveyed through the trolls who service him. It is not possible for him to bend that far.
He has previously failed to effectively pretend to do the right thing and is in himself incapable of it. The only thing he can do to promote any healing is to resign, and Trump will never do that.
This will not go well. It will end in further anger and tears for the rest of America.
Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)to see him, is when he waddles his flabby arse out of the WH. Straight into prison would be my choice.

(9,247 posts)DO proceed, Trump. He'll read a canned speech written by someone else because he isn't capable of empathy. No sociopath is capable of empathy.

(42,568 posts)"Oh f---," Trump said with a sigh while his microphone was on before delivering the speech. "Uh-oh, I've got a pen mark."
He then asked his staff for "any white stuff."
------------------
C-SPAN also caught the moments after Trump delivered his speech as the cameras were still rolling.
"OK," Trump said with a sigh as he began to remove his mic from his lapel.

(182,829 posts)I read this as Trump thinking he can talk his way out of this and/OR that everyone just loves hearing from him.
You cant and they dont.
You suck at public speaking. The only interesting part of it is you making a complete fool of yourself. You arent in the bubble anymore. We arent reliant on you for money so we dont bow down and pretend. Shut. Up.

(23,350 posts)... to go off script, to wing it, fill us with off-the-cuff wisdom about race unity.
On race: did you all catch that NASCAR race? Now, THAT's what I call race!
On unity: did you see how big the audience was for my inaugural speech? Unity is "All for Trump", and "Trump for Trump".
