Race and the Confederate flag. It's unfortunate that the 'enemy' is other Americans. Vote people.

He never fails to reach new lows... he's below zero at this point.

We need to stop asking better from him... "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time"

[MrM]

No end-game, no strategy, he's solely acting to comfort his slighted ego.

120 days until Nov 3!!!

Stephen Miller's dribble, what sick, misinformed rant! trump needs to go, he is so unfit!!!!

[ZonDog]

If he was a real man he would resign for the good of the country. But he aint even close.

[mythoughts]

He's already drawn his line in the sand. He's on the racist side. SUPRISE 🙏🙏

[chriskelly]

He keeps going lower, on his journey to the center of the earth.

[kyrobb]

Everyone who voted for Trump owes America an apology!

[moseslacatus]

This man has a lot of things in the country to think about but instead he focuses on racism. This is who he is. Evil

[liv]

Why does he ALWAYS have duck mouth when he is speaking, I can not stand to even look at him.

[tbz]

If Trump is so proud of the confederacy maybe he put the flag on his Trump properties, see how that goes?

For anyone who missed Trump's speech, here's a summary...
"Me, me, me, me, me. I, I, I, I, I. Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry. Gah Blesh da Unidesh Schaces." -Trump

[EricBurgers-qcox]

Wow - he really sounds like a dictator now....

[buckchoppers]

This is the guy who pilloried the Central Park 5 even though they were exonerated.

[ArtfullyMusingLaura]

"Doubles down", or more like quadruple downs at this point.

[viakhnine]

Why wouldn't trump wear a mask, or a hood?

[theWZZA]

Dismantling white privilege is not radical ideology. It's just leveling the playing field.

Between '85 and '93 trump lost more money than anyone else in America.
