Dump tries to clarify his "looting" tweet, fails miserably

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Looting leads to shooting, and that’s why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night - or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot. I don’t want this to happen, and that’s what the expression put out last night means....

....It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. It’s very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media. Honor the memory of George Floyd!

Can’t his overseers learn to stick in a random capitalized word to fool us?

I do not want to hear from the media..I do not want to hear their opinion..I want the voices of the people of MN to be heard..I listened to the activists this morning..I want to hear more from them, not less..that is the voice that matters..

We must take down the hate..the poverty, the oppression..I am so upset with media trying to own the narrative..NOT THIS TIME..NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE needs to reverberate across this country..

RESIST SUFFOCATION.. ..today and all the days ahead belong to the activists..LET THEIR MESSAGE BE HEARD..in the name of Mr. Floyd and Mr. Martin, and so many others...too many..I am at a loss for words..

If the pos doesn't want to talk about the flame he lit, then let the activists speak..the media needs to step aside...I don't need the pundits...

An excerpt from his tweet:

"Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!


Pretty darn clear.
