Trump: 7 Bullets in the Back like Missing A Golf Putt

By NCD on Tue, 09/01/2020 - 8:07am |

“Shooting a guy in the back many times…I mean, couldn’t you have done something different, couldn’t you have wrestled him? In the meantime he might have been going for a weapon,” Trump told Ingraham. “You know there’s a whole big thing there.”

“But they choke,” he added. “Just like in a golf tournament they miss a three-foot putt–”

Ingraham cut off the President in an apparent attempt to rescue him ...

I'm so old I remember when we used to have presidents who didn't comment on open criminal cases. An unwritten rule they were grateful for, because they had other shit to do.

Trump is going to Kenosha to "calm" the waters. If people think reading off a teleprompter is the solution, they are going to be disappointed.

He wants civil war, blood in the streets and a nation under martial law, burned to the ground. Republicans are hoping he succeeds.

Multiple uses! Coach potatoes can go Kaboom whatever they see something they don't like on the teevee. You know, like Elvis.

Hey, funny, someone made sure that the cheerfully all mercan models on the site had every color of skin, too bad they didn't hire that person to fill seats at the convention.

Trump says crap like this. He supports white supremacists. He destroys the post office and hides his taxes ,etc.

When protests occur and violence happens, Lefties and Wokes are losing votes for Democrats. BLM isn't addressing black-on-black crime. BLM is losing votes for the Democrats. Democrats have to address every issue to escape blame.

The discussion isn't about how can a moral person vote for Trump, it is always about flaws of the "Left".

If that is the playing field, what does it imply about the voters?

“They are people that are on the streets, they’re people that are controlling the streets. We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend. And in the plane, it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that.”

Trump gets his Intelligence Updates from Q.

Trump is giving them the right to be violent

We get Trump's verbal diarrhea, and we are supposed to believe the biggest danger is the Left and the Woke

Trump didn't even mention Blake's name during his trip to Kenosha

Blake's family held a peaceful rally at the same time at as Trump

Trump said choking happens.

We get this divisiveness

And the people who have to change are the Left and the Woke

The deaths occurred when Trump supporters arrived

A plane load of Antifa thugs that Trump can't talk about

They were on the plane traveling to (story varies)

The bigger danger is staring us in the face

The danger is Trump

Is Reince Priebus in a race to debase himself further than any political operative has ever done before?

"Where's Reince? Reince. Where is my Reince?" Trump referring to Reince Priebus, his former Chief of Staff, who was ousted after only six months on the job-it looks like Trump hauled him to Kenosha today to be carted out as a hometown prop. pic.twitter.com/HUGMzrB40G

How dim-witted do you have to be to choose Cory Booker as the scary guy you use to race-bait, anyway? Trump can’t even bigot right.
