It’s all a plot to make Trump look bad
Trump was asked about that whole anti-Semitism thing today. He said it’s bad, but, BUT – watch out, because it could be people trying to make Someone look bad. (I think Someone might=Trump.) Osita Nwanevu at Slate tells the story:
On Tuesday, President Trump responded to the recent wave of anti-Semitic threats around the country in comments to a group of state attorneys general that suggested they had been orchestrated by unknown parties to make him look bad. From BuzzFeed:
“He just said, ‘Sometimes it’s the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad,’ and he used the word ‘reverse’ I would say two to three times in his comments,” [Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh] Shapiro said. “He did correctly say at the top that it was reprehensible.”
Asked for further information about the purpose of the president’s comments, Shapiro only said, “I really don’t know what he means, or why he said that,” adding that Trump said he would be speaking about the issue in his remarks on Tuesday night.
The Anti-Defamation League swiftly responded to Trump’s comment in a statement. “We are astonished by what the President reportedly said,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt wrote. “It is incumbent upon the White House to immediately clarify these remarks. In light of the ongoing attacks on the Jewish community, it is also incumbent upon the President to lay out in his speech tonight his plans for what the federal government will do to address this rash of anti-Semitic incidents.”
Yes but what if they’re not actually anti-Semitic incidents, but rather FAKE anti-Semitic incidents meant to make Trump look bad. WHAT THEN, HUH?
Trump’s comment fits in well with the conspiratorial view of protests and other events that have emerged in the first month of his presidency. In an interview with Fox & Friends that aired today, Trump said of the demonstrations, “I think that President Obama’s behind it because his people are certainly behind it.” And this morning, Anthony Scaramucci, a man Donald Trump nominated to head the White House Office of Public Liaison and Intergovernmental Affairs, accused Democrats of inciting violence at Trump rallies and warned that the anti-Semitic threats, which forced evacuations at schools and Jewish community centers in over a dozen states Monday, could also be their handiwork.
Because Trump is so perfect and benevolent and embracing of all humanity that no form of racism or xenophobia (or while we’re at it misogyny or homophobia) could possibly be inspired by anything he says.
Just remember who the REAL victim is, here. Clarifies his failure to offer condolences for the people shot in Kansas. If it makes him look bad, then he is the real target and he should be the one being showered with sympathy. Quebec mosque shooting? Trump’s the victim there, too. The alleged perpetrator was described as a “Trump fan.”
Ew. Brain bleach time.
So was Trump being paid by the Democrats when he boasted at one of his events that “in the old days” they would have taken protesters out on stretchers? Was he one of “Obama’s people” when he offered to pay the legal bills of someone who assaulted a protester? Didn’t he repeatedly incite violence and hatred at his events?You think he’d at least offer us the courtesy of respecting us enough to keep his lies straight.

DONALD TRUMP IS THE LEAST ANTI-SEMITIC PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET.
We know because he told us.
More projection from the Supreme Leader. He’s easier to read than The Very Hungry Caterpillar, not a desirable quality in a president but it does at least render him the world’s most ineffectual pathological liar. Luckily for us he doesn’t have the self-awareness to realise that.
You’d think he’d be able to see how much easier it would be to just address antisemitism in a straightforward, simple way (this is bad and Un-American or whatever) but no, he insists on deflecting…
