I didn’t watch “60 Minutes” interview of Trump, for the sake of my sanity and my TV.
But am I reading
When told about the harassment of Muslims and Latinos he said
"I am so saddened to hear that,
Really?! WTF did he think was going to happen when he delivered his scapegoat list to his “passionate” supporters ? Or did he think/care at all . . . thousands. millions of lives to be used as pawns for his ambition (funny how that’s only a dirty word when a woman wants to be POTUS). Hurt, trauma, fear but he’s saddended to hear that his words actually have consequences in the real world.
"And I say, 'Stop it.' If it -- if it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: 'Stop it.'"
Trump directed his comments to his own supporters whom Stahl said have written racist slogans or chanted degrading messages
-- particularly in schools. It was a powerful appeal to a nation ripped apart by the divisive 2016 campaign. — CNN
If it helps?! If it helps??!!!!!! YOU ARE THE F@CKING PRESIDENT-ELECT OF THE US, act like a leader!!! Did you take no crisis management classes at Wharton?
So two words “stop it” is powerful? Really? Gawd how the press is abetting this. He spends 18 months priming the full opening of Pandoras box and you think two words, said two times with an “if it helps” in between, powerful?
That’s worthy of any government propaganda agency.
To be fair it was the CNN’s Eric Bradner who framed it that way… not Leslie Stahl.
Trump’s only seen/heard of 1 or 2 instances and looks (cuz I did watch the video of this little segment) completely confused, blown away that there are more
"I would say don't do it, that's terrible, because I'm going to bring this country together,"
Real forceful, stand up presidenten you’ve done there Donald. /sarcasm
But you also chose Steve Bannon today so those supporters who are hurting and harassing people probably aren’t taking your words too seriously . . . words must reflect actions Donald
and they’ve got a country to take back . . . right Steve?!
Oh and all us scapegoated groups, well we shouldn’t be afraid, after 18 months of sowing fear
For Americans who have loudly expressed fear about his impending presidency, Trump was reassuring, saying: "I would tell them, 'Don't be afraid, absolutely. ... Don't be afraid. We are going to bring our country back. But certainly, don't be afraid.'" — NBC
Look at the fucking crystal, there, your arms are getting heavy, your head is getting heavy . . . don’t be afraid . . .
What about the data base Donald?
Look at the fucking crystal, there, your arms are getting heavy, your head is getting heavy . . . don’t be afraid . . .
What about the special ID cards Donald
Look at the fucking crystal, there, your arms are getting heavy, your head is getting heavy . . . don’t be afraid . . .
What about banning all Muslims from coming into the US. What if we leave to visit family or go on a business trip?
Look at the fucking crystal, there, your arms are getting heavy, your head is getting heavy . . . don’t be afraid . . .
What about abortion . . . it saved my daughter’s life
Look at the fucking crystal, there, your arms are getting heavy, your head is getting heavy . . . don’t be afraid . . .
What about throwing all those Mexicans out
Look at the fucking crystal, there, your arms are getting heavy, your head is getting heavy . . . don’t be afraid . . .
What about stop and frisk?
Look at the fucking crystal, there, your arms are getting heavy, your head is getting heavy . . . don’t be afraid . . .
No Donald, I ‘m still very afraid because on top of everything else, which your clueless words did not reassure, it seems you don’t have a fucking clue about the power of hate you unleashed upon this nation and rode into the white house
and you chose Steve Bannon today
Be afraid, be very afraid.
