I'm disgusted you've displayed obvious racism while performing the duties of president.

I hate that you, today, quickly claimed as terrorism the fire/explosion/violence reported occurring in the Phillipines. A Philippine government official refuted terrorism claims, offering explanation of first findings to be that of a gambling addict. It's not the first time you've quickly judged violence as terrorism nor the first time you've been incorrect. Time and investigation will tell. You could be correct, you could be incorrect. That's not what I'm calling you out on here.

Right here in your own country, the one you claim to love, you've yet to condemn as terrorism that which occurred 6 days ago in Portland, Oregon. Oh, you tweeted it was "unacceptable" and judged it as violence of hate and intolerance. Very much the acts were hate and intolerance. It was also terrorism. And you chose to not state it for what it was - TERRORISM. You chose to be politically "right" in your official stance. Four days later. Four days after terrorism was again carried out in our country you chose to wait to respond. Two lives lost while protecting two young women. Another one physically wounded and hospitalized as well while protecting those two young women. Many terrorized. Two young women terrorized. Four days no word to a hurting country wanting, needing, its figurehead to lead in uniting as one against terrorism. Four days and you chose to refuse to say those words "terrorism" when it's carried out by white, racist man. These terrorist acts were carried out by a self-identifying white supremacist. A white, racist man from the same country you assumed to protect, preserve and serve. And you chose that time to be politically "right"

Why do you refuse to condemn these acts as terrorism which are perpetrated by white people as spewing hatred and being intolerant? I've heard you say you don't do politically "right". But in these cases you obviously chose to be political "right." Why do you find it so easy to judge non-white people of terrorism? Or label them terrorists when their skin is not white? Why do you leave it to the main stream media to use the word "terrorism" in your name? You've demonstrated you can choose tweeting what you mean on an account that you chose to communicate to the people. What's so hard that you won't condemn terrorist acts as terrorism irregardless of the perpetrators skin color? I'm disgusted by your choices in this.

I'm disgusted you've displayed obvious racism while performing the duties of president of the country I love. The country I've supported and helped in its protection.

You'll likely never see this, I realize this. I'm getting this out of me and posting it in a place I believe it'll be respected as intended - an expression of disgust and disappointment about your obvious support of racism. I'll feel heard. I don't Facebook. I don't Tweet. I joined this place after trolling it for months after the election. I found here a place of like minded citizen voters who support each other in common goals for the good of our beloved country. Some will agree with my expressions here, others will disagree. Either way, it will be done with respectful "agree to disagree", something I believe you could benefit from learning how to do. You've shown you can learn new tricks, maybe you could consider learning something that would be beneficial to the greater good and the country you assumed to lead.

Respect for differences. Respect for responsibility. Respect for honesty.

It's the Democratic way.

1. welcome to DU. I'm disgusted too.

Among other things.

2. Yes, I'm sure there are many of us feeling disgusted

Thanks, ecstatic!

Love your popcorn!

3. I believe that you captured the sentiment of almost everyone at DU with your

observations and questions. Thanks for taking the time to express them.

I try to limit my exposure to the orange menace. I don't listen to his speeches, press conferences and I rarely watch the news. For the most part my exposure to Trump is limited to what is posted on DU and that is as much as I can tolerate.

4. I should limit my exposure as well.

I've enjoyed following politics but there's a fear element involved.... menacing. Orange menace. Another apt moniker.

5. Among other things, Trump is a freaking Psychopath.

And so are the people in government who support him.

He is more dangerous to the U.S. than Isis is, IMO.

I think he and his people are terrorists themselves, hiding behind their money and their power.

I agree with what you wrote, 100%, and I'm sorry you were wounded. I hope you are healing physically and mentally from your horrifying experience.

7. I want to clarify: I was not wounded in the Portland, Oregon terrorism incident I wrote of here

I re-read my post and realized how my inconsistent use of spelling out numbers could be read as "I" (meaning me) instead of my intended "One" (as in "one" person was physically wounded.

To be sure: I was no where near the terrorism that took place, I did not personally witness this attack.

Omg, i'm sorry I didn't catch the inconsistency prior to original post. I'm sorry for confusion I caused, CozyMystery. I'm sorry to any who I caused confusion in this.

6. Is anyone else wondering

Who got rid of the investigators that were checking out Ivankas's Chinese factory for slave labor conditions. It was the factory that makes her shoes,Apparently there were 3 and they have vanished.
