Not enough white supremacist undertones for it to be a retweet, though.
I don't care how lazy you are about retweeting, if the account is called WhiteGenocideTM, maybe you think twice about repeating what they have to say.

was his tweet smart? hell to the "F" no, did he have a clue what it meant? hell no, did the creators who made the meme have a clue what it meant, most likely not, especially if they knew Clinton's stance about Israel and such. so in the end it was an idiot who posted something done by idiots. yes I do think Trump is an idiot at times and so forth, but would rather have him then Clinton.

Welcome to the internet.
If we can avoid the insults and digs , the whole thread , mayhaps the entire forum, will run so much more smoothly.
Who knows, perhaps through some information osmosis via a subconscious process we are, dimly, aware of but cannot quite grasp society -- nay! the world even ! -- will become a better place.
... hmm ? What's that ?
Yeah.
I know.
But maybe there's hope after all.

So, Asterios, you are saying Trump's ignorance is his defense? You think we should not hold blatant, obvious "whistling" against him because he's just too stupid to understand the connotations of the Magen David or the phrase "white genocide"?
Would you really want someone so absurdly clueless to run the country?

I was referring more to the other retweets. It's not like this is the only sketchy thing he's blasted out across the internet; scroll down a bit for the retweet from WhiteGenocideTM. Once could be an honest mistake, a dumb staffer (except apparently he does the vast majority of his own tweeting), plagiarism without checking the source (and, of course, plagiarism is its own brand of STOP, YOU'RE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT), or an off day, but it's NOT only been once. He's got a pretty distinct pattern of racism and bigotry.
But he's somehow way better than Clinton, right?

Didn't you just call someone else a hater?
Even if you think Clinton is unethical as all hell (which I certainly don't grant), you have to admit she knows what she's doing. What are you so afraid of her doing in power than can be worse than giving the levers of power to a sort-of-fascist bigot with a temper, limited attention span, burn-it-down rhetoric and take the money and run tendencies?

hate has nothing to do with it, i just do not feel she is best for our countries self interests.
her lack of keeping secure classified intel is one, her involvement of TPP is another and her willingness to allow more illegals into this country that are not properly vetted is another and the list goes on and on.

because his presidency will be a lame duck presidency, at most only enforcing our immigration laws will get done and maybe ACA get reformed, neither side will work with him and nothing else will be done, so our country will be at a standstill with hopes of a better option in 4 years.

Except that, given the outcome of the primary season for the Republican party.. that hope is an extremely far fetched one. Let's face it, there was a lot that led up to Trump getting the nomination, and NONE of those issues have been addressed, and given how congress works (or, doesnt) these days, I truly doubt any of them will get fixed by the next presidential race.

So he'd get to be one of the most powerful people on Earth, get all the attention his fragile ego wants, get to spout off on TV all the time, gets to draw a significant salary, and he doesn't have to do anything?
And the same goes for Congress?
And that's supposed to be a good thing?

No matter how "lame duck" his presidency is, he will still be involved with foreign relations and impact how other countries view us.
Also, her mishandling of classified information is still unproven, innocent until proven guilty and all that.
Last I heard she was against the TPP. It just seems like you are parroting the same anti-Hillary stuff over and over again.

Given the +/- margin of error there Trump's actually giving Hilary votes.
Perhaps he can motivate the younger voters to come out for him.
What he needs to do is attract more everyday, completely typical, run of the mill style millennials.
..hmm ....

Mostly what they've done is bicker. I think you're the first person I've heard who would like them to be even more useless.
And I don't think it's actually possible for Trump to hit rock bottom. The guy keeps on digging. Guarantee you that by this time next week, he's going to have said or done something dumb/horrifying/racist again.
