BBC - Trump retweets multiple anti-Muslim videos

[Deleted member 9986]

This is blatantly spreading hate targeted against a group in not only US society but also the UK and the rest of Europe. What the fuck, as if we Muslims need even more people hating us. What is the end goal if you need to build up that much hate to legitimise it?

UK is supposed to be the US's closest ally militarily .

why the fuck is Trump trying to fuck that up?

Or that this kind of hate can't be self sustaining. It's totally illogical and flies in the face of what it actually means to be a human being in a community. It's because if you don't constantly fuel the fire of hatred through propaganda of some sort, then it'll start to die, and you can no longer use fear and anger as an effective political tool.

I'm sorry that this is happening, and I'm sorry for any sorrow it brings to you or your community. I'm so lost as to how to combat this idiocy anymore.

is this him trying to save face?

He's never going to apologize so I expect he'll just talk about something else now.

How many fucking times has he used this kind of excuse. "He heard it somewhere", or "Someone told him that", as if that frees him if any responsibility or accountability.

Plus - the POTUS retweeting that kind of content is grotesque and wildly irresponsible, regardless of source.

If by elevate the conversation you mean escalate tension and play right into the hands of radicalization.

LMAO... then don't retweet shit if you don't know where it's from! You're the goddamn President. What a lame excuse. He totally knew where it was from.

Given that President Trump is some kind of Subterranean Orange Being I agree with Sarah here as the conversation is now firmly in the gutter.

Not to be the worst type of Nazi, a grammar Nazi but should it be "law-abiding people"?

Twitter both sided the issue:

Donald Trump's retweets of extremists will stay on his profile, Twitter has said.

The controversial Britain First tweets will remain visible for everyone to see on the President's profile because they allow users to "see every side of an issue". The site recognised that the tweets were controversial and suggested they would otherwise violate its rules, but said that the posts would remain "because we believe there is a legitimate public interest in [their] availability".

It still amazes me Americans voted him in. Its quite remarkable actually how well he was able to just play everyone, clearly too.

Apparently propaganda works?

I'm not shocked, but it seems that many aren't aware why it has been so popular throughout history.

Wonder what will Twitter do after this fucker gets impeached, of course they'll start addressing his racism then.

I understand it and why it has been popular but usually the other side and just overall knowledge wasn't so readily available. We legit have him recorded and shit saying terrible shit with info readily available.
