Deleting the tweet and insisting that Trump didn't see the guy yelling "white power" allows the President to accomplish exactly what he wants: Push out a message of clear and blatant racism -- and then insist that he wasn't doing that and he, the self-described "least racist person you have ever met," is deeply offended by anyone suggesting otherwise.

To believe that, you have to willingly ignore everything Trump has said and done on race for, well, his entire adult life. When you consider the way Trump has treated race -- as a cudgel to be used when it serves his purposes -- it's simply impossible to conclude that he retweeted the video without knowing there was a guy chanting "white power" in it.

The opposite is in fact true; he retweeted at least in part because there was a guy chanting "white power" in it.

1. These instances are easy, nothing he says, ever, is true.

2. It was 10 seconds into the video.

3. That's why trump posted it. 'White Power'

4. If his mouth is open and/or he is breathing, he is lying.

5. He's pulled this same crap many times before.

The entire reason he shared was to show sympathy and support for the Nazi Villagers parading in their golf carts of hate... just as he did with the dickless tiki torch stormtroopers of Charlottesville.

6. He retweeted it not because he didn't hear "white power"

But because he did. We all know it..

7. Trump's daddy was KKK

His aversion to blacks is legendary. Anyone surprised hasn't been paying attention.

8. Dude's a pathological liar.

There’s every reason to believe, nine times out of ten, that the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he says is true.

9. Why I shouldn't believe Trump? He said it

No need for deep thought about it.

[soothsayer]

10. He's also trying to be outrageous to drown out the treason story

That’s also in his playbook, like whatever outrageous thing he did to distract from Ivanka’s emails.
