Well maybe I shouldn't have included myself in it specifically since I voted for Hillary.. but dude I think you're looking for a deeper meaning out of something when it simply isn't there. Had virtually anyone else ran against him he would have lost. Again.. You seem to think this is the way he envisioned things happening and he's twiddling his fingers in the background with a devious scheme.

I'm not sure what your point is here. You think this is all according to his master plan? That he became president? Even HE didn't think he was going to win, lol. Until he did.

I'm not making any points here that aren't about the obvious. He didn't do this alone, and his state of play is as obvious as it gets. It's not him that will be eroding us from the inside out. Those that got him there through their machinations will. But keep underestimating his ability to do what he has done successfully for his entire life if it makes you comfortable.

I mean he won the presidency by being openly racist and committing treason, so I don't know how this surprises anyone.

What is surprising is to see which media outlets play ball with the deflection angle and which ones smell it for what it is.

Yep. The media has mostly been utterly disappointing with their refusal to call out trump.

This Feb is going to some extra bullshit, isn't it?

You mean you're not looking forward to celebrating economic anxiety month?

Or maybe instead we'll get a white history month instead. I mean it's only fair right?

 

[Zok310]

He was not welcom anyway.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

He canceled his trip to a black person museum because a black person was mean to him, didn't he?

This is some fucked up way of disrespecting Lewis, isn't it?

Of course it is. This is trumps style

Oh no. Trump's racism runs deeper than that.

He was never going to the museum in the first place.

Considering Lewis was the one who was pushing for said museum to be built..it's probably unrelated..he isn't petty.

 

[Crayons]

Holy shit, we're reaching new levels of petty that I never thought possible.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Basically. He had someone leak that he was going. That site never checked? It's basically gaming journalism. Get them to swallow what you tell them.

Then the same Trump source leaks that they are going. Everyone is distracted, not talking about John Lewis. It's a weird and effective strategy. Keep making yourself look like shit and people forget the most shitty thing you have done.

I'm just tired enough to have almost taken that.

Almost.

 

[Alienfan]

Still have a strong feeling he's doing this specifically to distract from the Russia stuff

He can get shit on for this but he can't go to jail for it

Yep, he always does this and we're all dumb enough to fall for it every single time

Like I said.. He and his campaign didn't even think he could win. What does that tell you? That it was all according to some master manipulation? Or that he did almost everything in his power to fuck it up but got in anyway?

This isn't Westworld. Dude is a fumbling idiot who won in spite of himself. The only thing he meant to do was rally his base around hating Hillary and democrats. But that's not what won him in. It was incompetence on the other side.

But.. sure. He's the mastermind behind it all. Whatever you say.

 

[LiK]

Trump looks like a fool.

Edit: he is

 

[Enzom21]

We all know he was never going and never will go to the museum.
This is more of the whole: "I have a great relationship with the blacks." "I'm not a racist." nonsense.
He thinks black people are dumb and will believe this nonsense.

 

[akira28]

if there was ever anyone I imagine refers to all African americans as 'the Blacks', its Trump. in fact its his voice in my head whenever I imagine the phrase.

 

[UraMallas]

Is this that bad ass looking building that Obama spoke at the grand opening for last Fall?

 

[Enzom21]

No need to imagine...
Anyone who uses "the blacks" is clearly a racist. That shit is normally followed by some foul shit. "The blacks are lazy." "The blacks are criminals." etc. etc.
Welcome back.

 

[Ponn]

He won't back down.

 

[TheExecutive]

So does everyone get this hot and bothered about every cancellation Trump has?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

We'll learn about the gentle and good hearted plantation owners who only whipped their slaves 6 days instead of 7!

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

He doesn't even have the discipline to go for the PR.

 

[Akainu]

Yes, i'm sure him visiting this museum would have helped smoothed things over with black people.

Been awhile.

 

[Got]

We'll learn about the gentle and good hearted plantation owners who only whipped their slaves 6 days instead of 7!

i mean, they did feed them...

 

[Fancyarcher]

Our president everyone. What a hero, great, just great (fake clap!).

Of course he wants to unite the people. Just as long as they're white and straight.

Revolting orange trash. Fuck Trump.

 

[Lord Frieza]

He can get shit on for this but he can't go to jail for it

He literally just gave interviews talking about how NATO was obsolete and lifting sanctions. He doesn't care.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

Lewis introduced the original legislation to found the African American museum in 1988 and pushed it for 15 years before President George W. Bush signed it into law. The museum features photos of Lewis speaking at the March on Washington in 1961, as well as his mugshot from his arrest during the Freedom Rides.

"George Bush doesn't care about black people."

Hmmm...after reading his memoir, I stopped looking upon Bush with as much disdain.

Trump going to the Af Am museum...was never going to happen.
