Washington Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged President Trump to take a break from Twitter and focus instead on fostering dialogue with the American people amid the swelling movement in support of racial justice and ending police brutality.
"People look to the Oval Office as we've looked to the Oval Office throughout our history for messages, for signals, and as I said, the president has used some language that I really very much admire, like the 'resilience of the American people,'" Rice said on "Face the Nation" in an interview that aired Sunday. "Just be careful about those messages. I'm not advising the president, but if I were, I would say let's put tweeting aside for a little bit and talk to us, have a conversation with us. And I think we need that, and I think he can do it."

"So I would say think about the historical context before you say something, because it is a deep wound," she said of the president.
Rice also urged Mr. Trump to "speak in the language of unity, the language of empathy."
"Not everyone is going to agree with any president, with this president, but you have to speak to every American, not just to those who might agree with you. And you have to speak about the deep wounds that we have and that we're going to overcome them," she said. "I'm not advising the president. But, you know, unfortunately, Twitter and tweeting are not great ways for complex thoughts, for complex messages. When the president speaks, it needs to be from a place of thoughtfulness, from a place of having really honed the message so that it reaches all Americans."

Then she tried to have a complex thought. It came out like this:
Ya think Condie?
Your plan is to have the president speak and unite the country? God damn you are stupid.

(40,209 posts)She is clueless. Trump is not a normal person. It is a waste of time to even talk about him as if he was. Trump is a psychopath. You cant reason with a psychopath.
She embarrassed herself with this comments.

(38,187 posts)She's clueless. He is never going to listen to a woman. Period. He and his supporters are proud of the fact that they never listen to a woman and make sure to always put a woman "in her place." Don't believe me? Ask one of them. They will be glad to tell you all about their shit views on women.
Besides, should a war criminal really be telling a Tweeter not to tweet? As if that would undo her and Bush's war crimes? No.
