They don't look particularly good on him, in the opinion of this observer who, I will readily admit, knows less than nothing about fashion.
There is sweeping negative judgment in Trump. He slammed McCain ("I don't like people who get captured." And there's this one, too -- "People who choke can't be doing what they're doing."
Nearly everybody else is weak and pathetic, but I, Donald Trump, am strong and visionary, a successful business man, Builder of Mighty Walls.
Yuck.

(11,605 posts)Surprisingly, he sided with the victim and not the cop. No matter what his motivation I am glad to see that he is not trying to justify this.

(36,926 posts)He had to do something reasonable following his call out to assassinate Hillary.

(11,605 posts)Still, I would rather see him do that than try to justify what happened in Oklahoma. He has a powerful bully pulpit and he has already done enough to make racism politically correct again.

The cop was female. Never did he question the abilities of male cops for killing unarmed black men in cold blood, justifying it by claiming a threat to the cop's life. Only when the cop was a woman did he blast her for doing the same thing men do with impunity.

(41,930 posts)He's never spoken up about any shootings done by a male officer. He "wonders" if the woman choked, if she was incapable of doing her job.

(5,611 posts)It was so obvious to me. It is seriously scary to imagine someone this sexist and racist (which we know from everything else) in the White House.

(3,635 posts)Moderate swing voters will simply see him as 'not such a bad guy afterall' who 'tries to reach out to PoC', etc. They won't hear the alt-right dogwhistles/memes intended for the base: the cop was a woman, women are weak and unable to handle crisis, only in the job due to pc, which risks our safety, which is why we shouldn't elect a woman to do a man's job.

(14,914 posts)officer (whose behavior was outrageous, like that of numerous male officers he has not reproached) only partly out of unmitigated misogyny, but also as an ill-concealed slap at HRC. Appalling but typical to use such a tragic incident to feign concern and to throw an elbow at his rival.
