Will Donald Trump Ever Say the Words ‘White Supremacist Terrorism’?

[HomerJS]

This is the guy who tweets about every fucking thing on the planet. This is the guy who beay Hillary over the head for not saying those magic words, "radical Islamic terrorism". Yet relative silence on our home grown white supremacist terrorist attacks. In the case of the Portland murders where black males were protecting women on a train being verbally attacked by a white male with a documented history white supremacist views.

It took 3 days for a response and it came from his staff using the POTUS twitter account not Trump's.

“The violent attacks in Portland on Friday are unacceptable. The victims were standing up to hate and intolerance. Our prayers are w/ them.”

You can tell that response was not from him.

Since saying the words are so important when will Trump utter them?

There’s a growing deadly threat in America but Donald Trump refuses to call it by its name: white supremacist terrorism. In the last three months alone we’ve seen four Americans killed by white supremacists. Now if Muslim extremists had killed four Americans in that time period we all know Trump would be ranting about “radical Islamic terrorism”—a phrase he loves to use except when in Saudi Arabia

That you think this is comparable is laughable.
Though I'll grant you extremism is on the rise... what you want would make make it worse.

In the United States it is, I doubt the families of the slain black men on the train would find the comparison funny, neither do I.

I highly doubt the nation's most visible white supremacist will talk about the terrorist acts of his most ardent supporters. Especially when he spent most of the campaign drumming up their violence with his rhetoric.

For the sake of accuracy, the men who died in the Portland train attack were white.

Probably about the same time the "pretend liberal" apologists stop rushing in to defend their dear religious right of the middle east every time it is behind an attack on liberal western secular values.

Just the words won't solve anything. Just like saying the words "radical islamic terrorism" isn't a mantra for solving it, its just a way to score points with supporters.

What you should realize though is people in the middle are getting hurt by extremists.

We're too partisanly divided and I only see 2 options..

1. Divide the country between the left and right wings since we can't live together.
2. Unite the country against the extremists on both sides since we can't live with extremists.

Given that our current state of where 3 branches of government are controlled by extremists.. I don't see anything except more and more will get hurt.

LOL, your lies didn't suddenly make that murderer's Bernie support prior to the election disappear. Better luck next time

Seriously, do you speak English? Or are you just working off a Russian/English translator....because you're spewing gibberish.

I have no problem with himsaying white supremacist and he needs to call it out when it happens.

The term "white supremacist" and "racist" and losing their potency though because every white person who doesn't agree with shit like safe spaces, no whites day at colleges, and basically anything meant to damn the racial flames gets called it. People get called it all the time on this forum.

When everybody gets labeled it the label means nothing.​

What does this even mean? Is that a sentence?

I believe he's pointing out that the Portland train attacker was a Bernie Sanders supporter.

Ahhhh I get it. Bizarre, but at least I understand it's a sentence.

I agree you could argue that he probably should have said SOMETHING. I also think it is amazing that you have such great contacts with the current White House that "You can tell that response was not from him."... or are you psychic?

Regardless, the rest of the argument makes no sense. In fact, the entire article and the manufactured outrage is one giant red herring. Maybe you were attempting a moral equivalence fallacy and got it confused with a red herring fallacy?? Who knows...

I find it both fascinating and also indicative of someone trying desperately to hold on to a false narrative, to the point of digging up an article which was written BEFORE the terrorist attacks in London. Like a random, rage filled, keyboard fueled shot across the bow.

"Radical Islamic terrorism" is a worldwide phenomenon, while the other is a local issue. Maybe someday you will get your wish and "white supremacists" will be as ubiquitous around the world as "radical islamics", but for now, that is simply not the case.

For example, no "white supremacists" groups have gone to a peaceful Arab city like Dubai, and then repeatedly attacked it due to differences in faith or race. They simply are not hopping on a plane to make or join a terror cell to blow themselves up while purposefully targeting and killing as many civilians as possible. It is simply not happening.

As for the rest, I do not know (but is seems as if you do) if there were "black males" on the train. If there were, they did nothing. Maybe your corrected narrative should read something like: It was "racist white people" that protected those women on the train from a deranged supporter of both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.

Is that what you are trying to say?

He wouldn't even say "Radical Islamic Terrorism" to a bunch of rich terrorist sympathizers.
