Another fumble for Trump. |
They tried and failed with Obamagate.
They will continue to throw everything at Biden and hope to take the ball off Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. They will ignore the fact that 150,000 Americans have died from complications of COVID-19. They will ignore the fact that over 45 million Americans are out of work. They will ignore Trump's handling of domestic affairs. Since the George Floyd tragedy, racial tensions have reached a boiling point. Facial masks also being a political football. You see white people acting inappropriate over the fact companies and local leaders are urging them to wear them.
THE VAST SILENT MAJORITY IS ALIVE AND WELL!!! We will win this Election big. Nobody wants a Low IQ person in charge of our Country, and Sleepy Joe is definitely a Low IQ person!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 28, 2020
It seems like he's never going to stop tweeting.
Today, he had pulled a tweet that he shared to his millions of followers. It was a retweet from a guy who posted a video of protesters and counter protesters in the senior community of The Villages in Florida.
Trump inadvertently tweeted a video of a white Trump supporter shouting "White power" while driving his golf cart.

The person who has this account is apparently anti-Trump.
Trump tweeted "Thank you to the great people of The Villages. The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is Shot. See You Soon!!"
Eight seconds into the video a white man on a golf cart is chanting Trump 2020. Soon after that came the "white power" remark.
"There you go, white power. Do you hear that?" a counter protesters standing by the side of the procession responding in awe.
Jake Tapper of CNN asked Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) about the retweet.
The sole Black Republican in the senate condemned the tweet. He said that it was misguided.
"You can't play it, because it was profanity-laced. The entire thing was offensive -- particularly the comment about white power was offensive. We can play politics with it, or we can't. I'm not going to. It is indefensible, we should take it down."
In recent weeks, Twitter has started flagging several of Trump's tweets with warning labels.
In late May, the social media platform placed a "public interest" notice for the first time on a Trump tweet, in response to the president's controversial "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" tweet. It did so again last week for Trump's tweet threatening "serious force" against protesters outside the White House.
