Weird the way the President of the United States would call our intelligence community Nazi's (or comparable to) but won't call an actual Nazi a Nazi.
His delay in calling a Nazi a Nazi lost him three CEOs of major US corporations from his Manufacturing Advisory Board.
The CEOs of Merck, Under Armour, and Intel have all stepped down from the board in the last couple of days.
Trump is calling the condemnation of his response to the Charlottseville violence 'fake news' and throwing verbal blows at people who criticized his handling of the situation. That's what he always does when criticized, of course. But, it makes no sense here considering how many Republican politicians and people from all sides of the aisle publicly expressed such condemnation prior to heavy media coverage by every one of the media outlets.
After finally calling out the KKK and neo-Nazis yesterday and taking some pressure off himself with Republicans, Trump did something really asinine on Twitter again. He re-tweeted a meme of a train (the Trump Train) mowing down a CNN reporter.
That's really effin' non-presidential in any case. But, to send it out to his millions of followers after Heather Heyer was killed by a Trump supporter who used a vehicle as a murder weapon shows no rationality or common sense whatsoever if he really meant what he said yesterday, in my opinion.
The tweet was taken down from Trump's twitter about 20 minutes later, but it had already been seen and screen-captured by many and is now a news topic itself. Just plain stupid, or a wink and a nod to the violent supporters he'd condemned only hours earlier? I don't know the answer, but it's a shame the question even bears asking.
