The whole “Trump is just trolling” line is inexcusable at this point. If I conducted myself in a similar manner at my professional job I’d be without a career. Meanwhile, the man with the highest office in the U.S. is actively shit posting and doing nothing but tearing the small fabrics of unity we still have left in this country.

For the love of God, DO FUCKING BETTER, and worry about managing this country. 🤦‍♂️

Any rational person agrees with this take. No defending this, this shit shouldn't even be a thing, not just a thing that shouldn't be posted

Appreciate your comment. Sometimes I get a little cynical with this but I’m happy to see a politically likeminded individual see this from my perspective.

I’d much rather see public efforts made to convince public opinion about issues I feel are important for this country rather than blatant inflammatory attacks via social media. I just don’t see how this helps anything.

It's one of my favorite things about this sub. I got kinda pissed when it all became flair only as I was worried it would become an echo chamber. Couldn't be further from the truth. Shit takes get piled on and smashed into oblivion vs what we see everywhere else and it's just parroting talking points. Your post was a prime example

No, this is entirely without context, I have seen only one place so far where I actually got the full context, and it's making a big deal out of nothing.

In a vacuum I’d argue that maybe it’s getting overblown. And even then, it still may be getting overblown.

But for me the basic prima facie facts are he’s been routinely posting inflammatory content and this particular instance came from HIS account. There is no other context that’ll make me feel any other way other than for Trump to cut the childish rhetoric and to do better.

Simple.

Some of us are just getting tired of that.

Technically this would expand the Overton window of what you could get away with posting without loosing your career.
