Who cares. As if his words carry meaning.

With Obama, you know his words have meaning and it sets the tone for the nation.

With Trump, we are just glad he isn't ranting like a 5-yr-old.

sure it did, that is why racial divides escalated during the 8 years he was in office and why it is continuing on both sides.

Maybe. Depends how he framed it though. I have nothing against him say left wing extremism is wrong, as all extremism is wrong. Had he made it about Bernie, I'd take issue with that since Bernie Sanders would obviously not endorse such a thing. But if he wanted to go after left wing radicals, more power to him. Political violence is always wrong, which I'm fairly certain is more or less what Trump said.

I don't think he did.

according to most of the leftists here, it's practically a crime against humanity to not specifically call out the faction or factions involved. so by that metric, yeah, he should have.

Well, Trump was pretty critical of Obama for not saying "radical Islam," so it's not just leftists that hold that standard, now is it?

probably because radical Islamic terrorism's whole purpose is to cause violence and death. It's not a case of a lone wolf or things getting out of hand one time

Right, it was Obama who was responsible for the racial divide.

Just like he was responsible for earthquakes, red states' problems, and why right-wingers can't get out of their rut.

I know that Bernie was quick to denounce the guy because he volunteered on his campaign.

The Nazis helped elect trump. He should have denounced them during the campaign when they rallied for him and told them he wanted nothing to do with them. He courted them.

Spencer is still happy with trump from what I hear. He doesn't think trump meant it.
