Also, a healthier reaction would probably not to be to argue why the man who first made the news by being charged with racial discrimination as a landlord, with years of racist statements, isn't a racist. Just because Trump is a Republican president doesn't mean any Republican should try to defend him from assessments of his vile behavior that are, correct.
Unless you think he's not doing anything wrong, in which case, the question becomes, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

I think this is where “racist vs. racially insensitive” gets discussed. The former is obviously more loaded than the other, so it helps to analyze carefully. However, even the latter is something the highest office in the country - one that plays a significant role in affecting millions of people’s lives by way of government policy - could do without.

You usin gthe hosts of CNN to support the bill is hilarious. these are also the same people in support of EVERY War. There's a reason Independent media has more eyeballs than CNN. Screw those people. Edward Snowden warned us about this. Yet Americans are so happy to give up their freedoms, for their Freedumbs.
In an effort to feel secure, we lose privacy and freedoms.
The context of the quote is in regards to a tax dispute, but it fits the current climate of Big Brother all the same.“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Trump makes us look worse and worse daily.
Agreed.
Because people are being vilified for opinions, even if their actions show different. At least to me. It's the same with the Metoo movement. I fear Witch hunts are a comin.
As a Libby mcLiberal I agree.
Well at least it's two minorities.. They still shouldn't be POTUS.
This!
My bad. I thought you were responding to one of the other comments you quoted.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to the Stormy Daniels thing. I mentioned her denial in response to a comment about what she might say about it.

On the left-wing versus right-wing dictatorships comment, I still think I'm correct.
Another guy made a comment a specific type of hypothetical left-wing dictatorship, and then noted that "rightwing fascist regimes are a dime a dozen."
I think pointing out specific left-wing regimes is, at the very least, just as appropriate.
A bit out of date (it's based on an academic journal published in 2000) but interesting.
That's a good answer to Trump's question.
I was saying that while there's merit in reporting what Trump said, the media shouldn't blame him for people getting mad.
They should see it as a worthwhile consequence of their decisions to bring comments made in a small setting to a wider audience.

No -- there's nothing "good" about this, Mets.
Not the question (which refers to African nations as "shitholes"), nor the person asking it (who shouldn't make such asinine statements regardless of whether he is the President of the United States or otherwise), nor the Republican party who keeps propping up this ignorant fool who is destroying our reputation both domestically and globally, just so they can take health care away from children and the poor to give targeted tax cuts to the wealthy.

Morons, the lot of them...
So...
I just watched Joy Reid and another woman discuss the whole Trump/Stormy angle.
It's odd how women who tend to be on the "Women Need To Have Their Own Agency" end of things go right to telling you exactly what sort of an actress a woman was and that another woman had just had her husband's child when that actress might have slept with a married man.
Let alone that they made sure to throw out "Prostitute" only to correct having done so at the end of the piece.
So, yeah. Kind of a funny route to women actually being able to have legitimate self-determination.
