Lynching?! Sir, don’t you DARE invoke the darkness of America’s viciousness toward black people to defend your corruption. How dare you?!…

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!

4. He's a fucking clown who will rue the day he decided to run for POTUS...

[calimary]

30. LOCK HIM UP. In solitary confinement. With no access to Twitter.

What an insult! He has the gall to call what’s happening to him a “lynching”??????

I have a much better term for it: just desserts.

[Docreed2003]

3. There is no depth to which this asshole won't drop

Just to stir up his fucking hateful base.

There's no low, nothing too outrageous for this fucker.

Do call me when the media starts losing their mind over the color suit Trump wears or what condiment he chooses for his hamburger, FYI I also love Grey Poupon on my hamburger!

[atreides1]

5. There is no depth to which his supporters won't drop, either.

It didn't take a week for Graham to fill his mouth with Trump ass...after commenting how the Syria pull out was a mistake...Leningrad Lindsey is now 100% behind the decision!

Trump's supporters, the white ones anyway, believe that the US Constitution should only protect white christians...and those people of color that continue to support Trump, often remind me of Samuel L Jackson's character in Jhango Unchained!!!!

7. White evangelicals have no excuse to keep supporting Trump--but they do.

Trump’s removal from office results in a President Pence, who arguably would more strongly support their goals of theocracy, overturning Roe v. Wade, removal of all rights for LGBTQ, and laws to preserve their white culture at the expense of minority rights. They would get their rabid, right-wing judges with a President Pence. So what is the real reason for their continued support for a man who violates every norm of presidential behavior, lies constantly, calls for aggressive and potentially dangerous actions toward his opponents, and is destroying US leadership on the world stage by enabling Putin to gain more power? If their religious beliefs are the primary driver, then Trump is the opposite of those beliefs.

36. every day they turn on limnbaugh and hear the excuses to normalize it. like with

clarence thomas

they will hear hours of tongue twisted irrational rationalization, just like when trump and the republicans do anything racist.

even their preachers listen to this shit all week before sunday. you won't hear much of it on fox but on the radio it's SOP

[ConstanceCee]

6. Familiar

Didn't Clarence Thomas say something like this during his confirmation hearing?

[Zoonart]

8. Yep... called it a "high tech lynching".

[certainot]

39. meanwhile limbaaugh excused it, as he will now, while attacking anita hill as he did

sandra fluke and christine "ballssey" ford, who he was calling a liar and dem operative for 3 weeks while democrats ignored it.

and last week i heard a recruiting ad for the uni of new mexico touting science, scholarship and diversity during the limbaugh show...

[duforsure]

9. Trumps claims and threats will worsen

Quickly to all the American people before he's done. Here's a criminal trying to con his followers into believing he's an honest person, but it's being shown he's nothing he claims to be, and instead is a career criminal , and a serial liar. He's just upset it's all becoming exposed now. Close ties to the Russian mafia and Putin , and money will prove his claims are all lies, and show his guilt.

[Celerity]

12. yes, it is going to get SO much worse

Heck, I’m as white as whipped cream but I’m still offended by that remark.

donald has NO claim whatsoever on that comparison.

[yuiyoshida]

33. bam!

Head Shot! (gamer reference) Right on Mary

25. Thanks for these links. Black Past's lynching map is powerful.

[AllaN01Bear]

35. welcome. and its the many undocumented lynchings that have gone unnoticed for years .

and he pulls this nonsense .

[ancianita]

38. This is the sympathy twisting language used to dupe privileged alt-right whites.

This video seems elementary about the "dispersion" tactics of the alt-right, until you get to the "build a community" phase, where "ideology adoption is the price of inclusion." The appeal of radicalism is the way far right media make the Left look mockable, moving "normies" away from progressive media.

17. You only say this if you're dumb enough to believe there are good people

on both sides. (He really is a whiny little b*tch.)

Now comes the T-shirt: Orange Lives Matter.

[demmiblue]

18. But, but, but... he's frustrated:

23. Loser.

[SWBTATTReg]

28. Frustrated? The so called pres is frustrated? He brought all of this on himself...maybe if he ...

grew up a little bit (I'm not asking for very much), as well as yourself, Mr. Gym J, maybe you would all get a little more respect and crap done in the House of Rep and Senate...from where I'm sitting, you are getting exactly zero things done, while the House of Reps under Nancy P. has been passing things right and left.

Why don't you get back to governing, Gym, and quit defending this piece of garbage...

[calimary]

34. Put a jacket on, jerk.

[The Genealogist]

19. There is literally no disgusting level to which he won't sink

He has lived a life of privilage, and is completely insulated from reality. He's managed to get millions of idiots to believe he is one of them. Sure he hates the same people they do, which is why they worship him as a deity. I hope Nancy Pelosi is the one to finally knock him off that rotten pedestal upon which he is perched.

[machoneman]

20. So, who wrote this up? Wasn't Fathead for sure. One of his lawyers?

Nawh, even his lawyers wouldn't do so. Stephen Miller I bet.......

[flibbitygiblets]

21. Normalizing lynching now, are we?

over 1000 days of this insanity

[Grammy23]

22. Unfortunately, he DOES dare.

He truly believes (due to his extreme narcissism and possibly other mental issues) that he has special privileges that allow him to express his feelings in this way. In other words, he is entitled by just being alive to say and do whatever he wants. Anybody or anything that threatens that privilege cannot be tolerated. Period. At some point he will lose. He may be impeached. He may be defeated at the polls. But he will lose. No matter how it happens, he won’t accept it and things will get really ugly. A lot uglier than we’ve seen. We must be prepared for this and not allow him to destroy things any more than he has.

[Karma13612]

27. I believe there have to be

Some safeguards already in place for January 2021 at the Inauguration.

If we have to wait for Trump to be voted out, then we need to have it all ready for a peaceful transition, even if that means Trump has to be escorted out in handcuffs.

Hope it’s televised!

And I agree, the tweet was not written by him.
