Trump exploits Germany truck attack to immediately blame Muslims
A president, even a president-elect, should wait until the facts are in.
Click here for reuse options!Reacting to the news that 12 people were killed and dozens more were injured after a truck drove into a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany, President-Elect Donald Trump issued a statement capitalizing on the tragedy and blaming “ISIS and other Islamist terrorists” for the attack – before any hard facts about motives have been released.
Full statement from Trump:
Our hearts and prayers are with the loved ones of the victims of today’s horrifying terror attack in Berlin. Innocent civilians were murdered in the streets as they prepared to celebrate the Christmas holiday. ISIS and other Islamist terrorists continually slaughter Christians in their communities and places of worship as part of their global jihad. These terrorists and their regional and worldwide networks must be eradicated from the face of the earth, a mission we will carry out with all freedom-loving partners.
As he did frequently throughout his campaign, Trump is again exploiting a tragedy in order to push an anti-Muslim narrative. After all, blaming an entire religion for the senseless violence of a few is a whole lot easier than actually knowing what you’re talking about. It’s a simple way to frame what is a much more complex issue – one Trump likely doesn’t know how to address in a thoughtful, honest way.

I try my best to not hate, but with this entire family and everyone they know I have given up. It is not worth the fight IMO.

Can clearly see where this will be going…he’ll be pointing to Muslims as a focal point for anger instead of his many coming failures.

Been saying this long before Rump was elected…watch for an incident, manufactured or not, that gives him more power.
ps…hope the fire suppression system in the Capitol Building is up to snuff…

Bingo my Brother…

Why change things at this point? This is what he has been doing and he won’t change anything now that he “won”.

Everybody relax. This fool couldn’t even run a casino. He’ll try things, get stopped by all those pesky laws, and spend his time tweeting from the oval office toilet. He’s essentially the pointy headed boss in Dilbert.

But the pointy headed boss in Dilbert doesn’t have access to nuclear codes.

Die Welt is reporting that he is a Pakistani refugee. The truck was stolen from a construction site and the Polish driver of the truck was murdered and still in the truck.

Yes, it seems like the Nice attack. But it’s dangerous for the president to publicly jump to conclusions about such things.
That’s how needless wars get started.

Tweet first avoid PDB later.
He knows more than the generals.
It’s gonna be great.

Germany just released the guy, if Trump knows something they don’t, he should let them know. The more he makes a complete fool of himself, the better, America will be weakened to the point where no one will take us seriously making it almost impossible to cause the world any real damage. They won’t ask, and they won’t tell Trump anything.
HaHa…i just made a funny…I said…”if Trump knows something”….
