I'm sorry: This "failed to denounce" is just a game, part of the news gossip I described. And the second play of the game is failed to denounce "soon enough".
Trump did NOTHING at all wrong. His first speech was fine, presidential, responsible, good leadership, highly ethical, calm the nation, slow, hopefully stop, the violence, save more people from getting killed.
The failed to denounce soon enough, strongly enough, and convincingly enough is just a game played by people who want to have an excuse for a headline, to make up a story, to contribute to a narrative, to play to a partisan audience, to get eyeballs and clicks, to push gossip, innuendo, etc. It's not objective.
This is not the first time: The newsies jumped on this game, manipulation, way back in the campaign on the cooked-up issue that Trump did not
"denounce" David Duke "fast enough". Made-up, cooked-up, stirred-up, deliberately deceptive and provocative, BS. Attempting to incite a riot. Skilled, clever gossip, Victorian garden party nasty, bitchy, social chit-chat used as "news".
They also want to start a fight, to have something to write stories about, to blame Trump for, to get more stories, to push their narrative, even if the fight KILLS more people. The newsies are very dirty dogs. You fell for their manipulation.
You can go for that nasty, dangerous, inciting violence, manipulation BS if you want; it's a free country; we have a free press; the press is permitted to publish total BS; and some people will believe it -- that's their right.
But in a free country with a free press, one of your responsibilities as a citizen is to be darned skeptical of such BS manipulation, to filter it out, not fall for it.
That Trump did anything wrong is just silly, again, pile-on gossip: The POTUS should not be pushed into having his statements dictated by newsies.
Look, this newsie game, if you fall for it, is like a "fork" in chess: If Trump gives a really good, presidential, responsible speech as he did, then the newsies claim he didn't denounce specific people and groups fast enough or strongly enough.
So, the newsies want Trump to say provocative things. They basically want to trick Trump into using the newsies words and content. Then the newsies get to demean Trump, make him an obedient puppy, cost him respect and status.
So, if you go along, either way with the fork, Trump loses and the newsies win.
Again, once again, over again, yet again, one more time, this time just for you, it's a dirty newsie manipulation. You need to see this.
It's a little like some dirt bags in high school creating gossip and pushing and pushing it to create a consensus, based on absolutely 0 that is real, to push the captain of the football team actually off the team and likely out of the school.
For the newsies, with just gossip, to bring down a freely, properly elected POTUS, to cancel a free election, to overturn our democracy, would be one of the worst harms to the US in all its history, but THAT is just what the newsies are trying to do. Then, think of all the headlines, eyeballs, and ad revenue they could get?
The captain of the football team and the POTUS are safe unless you let yourself be manipulated by dirty newsies.
Trump's statements were fully, very appropriate.
Sure, the newsies who want headlines want to start a fight, have Trump name names, do name calling, get into specific fights with specific people and groups, etc.
Trump was correct -- such newsies will never be satisfied. Why? The biggest reason is that as soon as people are satisfied, the newsies lose audience, clicks, ad revenue, headlines, stories, and their narrative.
The newsies are trying to incite a fight.
The American people are getting a crash, high level course in reading comprehension and understanding manipulation: The newsies will throw made-up, cooked-up, stirred-up, incited, provoked, gang-up, pile-on nonsense as fast as they can. First cut, we should just ignore it. When they called Melania an "escort model", they got sued big league and lost.
The news people are very dirty dogs and want your eyeballs.
You've let them get to you with their claim that Trump should pick fights. No he shouldn't. The newsies want a FIGHT to cover and want to provoke Trump into a fight. So, the newsies have a narrative that Trump is racist (top card in the Democrat deck, the race card, then the gender card, ..., and the newsies are about 90% Democrat) and keep pushing that narrative. Look at all objectively and see that the narrative is just total propaganda JUST as in the Goebbels "if you tell a lie often enough then people will believe it". You've been manipulated, been had. The newsies are thrilled with you and count on a lot more clicks from you.
The good news about the dirty dog newsies is that they have been shoveling their deceptive, manipulative, lying BS against Trump for 2 years now, and the worse thing they have found so far that has any credibility at all is just something about two scoops of ice cream. So, with all that newsie effort at dirt, we have to conclude that Trump is squeaky clean and a really good guy.
They've got nothing;
they've got zip, zilch, and zero; they've got nichts, nil, nada; they've got their 1+ year old Russia story with nothing, a big nothing burger, "where's the beef?". As I wrote in my post above, the newsies are desperate for headlines, stories, eyeballs, revenue, etc. They are about to go out of business and have zero credibility left.
You have fallen just for nasty gossip. Why? You just want to take up the Goebbels style lies so that you can fit in with others who do that? The dirty dog newsies are inciting violence that stands to get people killed, and you are going along with them. Not good. Wise up.
