At this presser for the prez, Trump looks weak, ineffectual, totally out of his depth. Wearing a cap

to hide his monstrous hair. He looks pathetically weak and idiotic, hiding his face like a child, and he could barely improvise a few words (and even started to congratulate himself and "everyone else" for responding so quickly until his little brain realized that maybe it's a little premature). All the bullshit you will hear from republicans about how he looks "strong" or "commanding" is dispelled by one look at him -- a terrified little boy who seemed to be having trouble getting off the steps of AF1, and who is sitting like a moron at this presser. Sure, he'll be out looking "empathetic" next. Yeah...

and his recent 100% support message (it's either the whitesupremacist uniform. or he's going golfing while Texas is under water) are signs, hidden messages numeric hate symbols of white supremacists solidarity.

Of note, it seems post Chalottesville there has been an up tic is his hate propaganda, policies attacking, threatening and instilling fear in all non white, nonchristian, nonlgbt, all while seemingly using hate symbols and sign to signal to his cult of followers.

An article dated Feb. 22, 2017. CNN (link listed below) reveals how people hide hate symbols in plain sight. Hate symbols used by kkk-nazi white supremacist/terrorists groups as identified, documented in much detail by the ADL (anti-defamation league.)

Hopefully, we have learned something from our history--that being...an informed citizenry is our best defense against hate and bigotry and that knowledge is power.

They should have one of those WARNING signs flash across the TV screen before he ever since
ears. "Warning: Viewing this may be hazardous to your health. View discretion advised."

If he was on the screen more than the few seconds it takes to change the channel I couldn't afford the replacement TVs I'd go through.
