The Fox News host [Laura Ingraham] then asked who the president believed was pulling the strings. Trump replied, “People that you’ve never heard of. People that are in the dark shadows.”

“What does that mean?” Ingraham asked. “That sounds like conspiracy theory. Dark shadows — what is that?”

“No, they’re people that you haven’t heard of,” Trump continued. “They’re people that are on the streets, people that are controlling the streets.”

Trump then described a plane “from a certain city this weekend, and on the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms with gear.” Ingraham asked where the plane was coming from, but the president demurred.

“I’ll tell you sometime,” he said. “It’s under investigation right now.”

The trouble is that Trump doesn't know when to turn it off. He sees his fans falling for his lies and cons and so he just keeps ratcheting them up. So they get more and more outlandish to a point where even Fox News Hosts start to question him.

Either that or he's nuts. I think it's the former.

Did he say if they are mostly non-black African Americans or are they regular African Americans ?

It is really hard for me to comprehend that there are a enough voters that think his general behavior is presidential, when its really closer to being certifiable. He is off the rails.

Well did he say if they were dirty & inarticulate thugs or are they clean , bright , shiny, well spoken kind ?clean & articulate.jpg

TRUMP: "A person was on a plane, said there were about 6 people like that person, more or less, and what happened is the entire plane filled up with the looters, the anarchists, rioters, people looking for trouble. The person felt very uncomfortable on the plane."

What makes you think it's lies? Those rioters that are committing crimes, arson, assualt, looting, have to come from somewhere. The report came from someone traveling on an aircraft with them.

...ah, a whataboutism. How cute. You do realize that a whataboutism is a weak defense as it include an admission of the argument. Not only that, most whataboutisms, including this one, are false equivalents.

Isn't there anyone on this board smart enough to actually defend Trump without a "whataboutism?" (note: we note that is a tall order, as Trump as there really are not defenses for Trump's antics)

And black americans are actually going to vote for this guy? Can you tell me what he has done for black americans? We know he opposed busing to desegregate schools, Kamala Harris made that clear in the primaries, but you vote for him.

One only has to look at this board to see all the folks willing to excuse his antics, lies, disinformation and corruption. Trump supporters are the scum of the Earth. I will continue to celebrate each of them passing away. Looked in the obituaries today and saw a few so, CELEBRATION TIME WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!
 
The men with the butterfly nets are desperately needed.

Maybe the American People can chip in buy a new Beautiful jacket for trump, one he would really Love, one where he gets to hug himself all day.

I think the answer is C, 'All of the above'. He is nuts, but he also does that. It's a dangerous combo.

It could be both.

Let's get rid of the guy who ushered in the best economy in over 50 years for Biden? That's really smart. I don't care if Trump is a nice guy, I don't plan on having lunch with him any time soon.

Is this a different group of ANTIFA thugs from June?

Police: No, antifa not sending ‘a plane load of their people’ to Idaho to incite riots | Crime & Courts | magicvalley.com


If there was an actual incident, do you have any idea how trivial it is to get the names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. of every person on that plane?
 
Trump and his supporters have maintained the pandemic and the states' responses have been engineered by Democrat to defeat Trump and that Biden has unleashed Antifa violence to blackmail the nation into defeating Trump.

Mr. Trump is apparently a helpless victim with regard to these two national calamities, simply lacking the power, as Presient of the United States, to do anything about them.

It's time to get rid of this weakling and put someone in that office who can. By Trump's own whining, Biden is clearly the man to do it.

How's that economy doing, by the way?

He inherited an economy of over 70 straight months of economic growth. He blew it.
