1 hour ago -





Over the past couple of days, numerous advisers both inside and outside the White House have urged the president to tone down his violent rhetoric, which many worry could escalate racial tensions and hurt him politically.

Behind the scenes: The biggest source of internal concern was Trump's escalatory tweet, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." Some advisers said it could damage him severely with independent voters and suburban women.

...............
Some of Trump's most trusted aides, including Hope Hicks, expressed concern about a tweet he sent shortly before 1am Friday, in which he used a violent phrase with a racist history rooting back to police brutality against African Americans in the 1960s: "When the looting starts, the shooting starts."

A number of people outside the White House weighed in over the course of the day. On Friday morning, Facebook raised concerns to the White House about Trump's incendiary message and urged them to make a change even if it did not violate Facebook's policies, according to a source familiar with the outreach.

1. However slowly, Trump is pivoting to an insanity defense

[cstanleytech]

20. Wont protect his adult children and others in his administration from having to answer

for their actions down the road and even a Presidential pardon may not help them as it oven does not prevent state level charges.

2. Then they're probably really wringing their hands over donnie dumbfuck retweeting qanon

this afternoon. jfc.

[dweller]

methinks fatnixon has donned his gestapo r us togs
and has secluded himself in Mailorder's under-tenniscourt bunker...

awaiting the "storm"



✌🏼

[keithbvadu2]

3. Could escalate?

Too late.

[Skittles]

4. oh, NOW they're concerned?

that bastard has been dog whistling his racism as long as I can remember - FUCK these enablers

[Frustratedlady]

5. They need to be more concerned about the country and to hell with the votes.

He's heading toward a padded cell faster than any campaigning. All his "allies" are wasting their concern if it's for votes. They need to get him into a doctor's care and do so immediately.

Just look at how far he's fallen in 5 days.

[yaesu]

7. what a crock of shit, if they were so concerned why don't they resign or publicly express their

concerns.

[oldsoftie]

9. Resigning just gets a bigger sycophantic replacement.

I'd rather they stay and "appear" to try whatever the hell it is they're trying.

I think the only person he'd MAYBE listen to would be Ivanka

[trueblue2007]

8. THIS IS IMPORTANT !!!!! Trump phoned Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. During the call, Zuckerberg

Trump phoned Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. During the call, Zuckerberg "expressed concerns about the tone and the rhetoric," according to a source familiar with the call.
Zuckerberg "didn't make any specific requests," the source said. A second source familiar with the call said the Facebook boss told Trump that he personally disagreed with the president's incendiary rhetoric and that by using language like this, Trump was putting Facebook in a difficult position.

10. Any idea who the "familiar sources" MIGHT be? This sounds gossipy, otherwise.

Just sayin'. Not judging.

But media would like to be able to spread this out there, right?

[Mr.Bill]

14. Facebook corporate headquarters

and Zuckerberg's home need to be targets of demonstrations.

[TeamPooka]

19. yup

[cstanleytech]

21. Actually the target should be facebook advertisers as only if it hits them in their pocketbook will

we see facebook change.

[JudyM]

31. +1. N/t

[monmouth4]

17. Zuckerberg is also concerned since his member drop, including me, on FB keeps escalating. n/t

[LiberalFighter]

23. Putting Facebook in a difficult position? Really?

Zuckerberg is doing it to himself.

[Dios Mio]

11. Afraid It will damage him?

Who are these ass wipes? Are they transporting to earth 2 after he destroys earth 1?

[Major Nikon]

18. At this point I think they are more afraid of the entire GOP swirling the bowl with him

A landslide victory for Biden will take quite a few GOP Senators down and provide an even bigger majority in the House. The GOP might never recover from that.

[Joinfortmill]

27. We can hope

[maxrandb]

12. They've all gone to the Susan Collins school of continual concern

The furrowed brow.

The disapproving glance.

The heavy sigh.

With post graduate degrees in strongly worded letters and tsk-tsking

[Blue Owl]

13. They changed his dirty diaper and now he's back out there

n/t

[Crowman2009]

15. They scolded and warned him? Oh my!

That's seems a bit harsh! I'm sure he learned his lesson.

I would maybe growing a spine, impeach the fucker, then drop kick his ass out into the raging mob at Pennsylvania Ave.

[paleotn]

16. Donnie...you've been weighed on the balance and found wanting.

[smb]

28. MAGA, MAGA, TEKEL, UPHARSIN nt

[LudwigPastorius]

22. "Hitler privately scolded by aides"

"Ya, mein Führer, the optiks aren't good. Could you change the name to, "The Penultimate Solution"?

[agincourt]

24. jacking up his base hate

like he always does

[DENVERPOPS]

25. Please remember most of all

He is merely a pawn of Putin AND the entire RepubliCON party. A pawn that went Rogue, given his personality.
Some Journalist HAS to do a massive list of what the RepubliCONs, (especially the RepubliCON controlled Senate) has done in the shadows, every day for the past three years. All while he daily gives the RepubliCON owned media something to report on, and not the RepubliCON CABAL & crap going on behind the scenes.

Trump is such an idiot, he thinks he is the mastermind of all this shit. IF and when this shit is ended, he is toast in oh so many ways.
The RepubliCONs will kick him to the curb, having outgrown his usefulness. He can't run to even Russia, or any other Tyrant controlled regime, they all know he is a massive phony.

He is so out of control at this point, all wrapped up in his narcissistic psychopathic sadist self aggrandizement that the RepubliCONS might trash him, install Pence and install a yes man VP. They will be rewarded by their voters for doing such a good job for the Party, that they will be once again able to vote Republican with a "clear conscience.

[Joinfortmill]

26. Frankly, I don't give a damn

He needs to resign.

[Maxheader]

29. I wonder.?

When stumpy loses, will the 21%ers form a picket around the white house?

You know. Like the sieges laid by the Roman army..like bundy laid at the wash. state park.

Except they better not forget theys toothbrush and cigs. . But seriously, , will the

hardcore, clorox swillers, maga to the death...roll out and make trouble?

[SergeStorms]

30. I think independent voters and suburban women....

have enough reasons to Dump Trump already. If it took this heinous action to persuade them Trump has to go, they haven't been paying attention.

[lagomorph777]

32. Meaningless if they don't come out and say it publicly.

I call BS.
