Pro and Anti-Trump Seniors Clash in Florida
Warning: this is a profanity-laced video start to finish.
White Power
At the 8 second mark, a man in a golf cart shouts “White Power” twice in response to a parade bystander asking “where is your white hood?”
NPR has additional details.
In the video, apparently taken at The Villages, a retirement community in Florida, people wearing Trump shirts and with Trump signs on their golf carts drive by protesters yelling insults at them and about the president.
Trump retweeted the video, which was shared by an unknown Twitter user, and said, “Thank you to the great people of The Villages. The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe [Biden] is shot. See you soon!!!”
In a statement, Judd Deere, the White House deputy press secretary, did not apologize for the tweet or condemn the racist term but said instead: “President Trump is a big fan of The Villages. He did not hear the one statement made on the video. What he did see was tremendous enthusiasm from his many supporters.”
Hard to Believe
Given the critical moment was a mere 8 seconds into the video and distinctly loud, It is hard to believe Trump did not hear that man shouting “white power”.
Exceptionally Poor Judgement
Moreover, it is impossible to believe Trump did not hear all that profanity.
And given all the profanity, Trump showed exceptionally poor judgement in his re-Tweet.
A far better defense would have been to say Trump retweeted the video without playing it. It’s now too late for that.
GOP Senator Tim Scott Reacts
Scott refused to play politics with the video only saying the “whole thing was offensive” and Trump should take it down.
Trump is Behind in Every Recent Battleground Poll
On June 25, I noted Trump is Behind in Every Recent Battleground Poll
Biden’s improved polling in battleground states comes from a cross-section of demographic groups, but the Times poll shows the most significant movement comes among White voters — especially college-educated ones — and young people. He’s also flipped voters age 65 and older to his column, which helps to explain his standing in Florida and Arizona.
Only 31% of battleground voters approve of Trump’s response to the Floyd protests, and 63% say they would rather that the president address the causes of discriminatory policing than cracking down on protesters.
Trump is Trailing Badly in All Recent Florida Polls: Why?
Yesterday, I noted Trump is Trailing Badly in All Recent Florida Polls: Why?
What’s Happening?
A Fox News story and poll provides a set of answers that Trump supporters do not want to hear: Biden Leads in Florida as Trump Lags Among Seniors.
By wide margins, Florida voters prefer Biden to Trump to manage immigration (50-40 percent), coronavirus (49-36 percent), and race relations (52-34 percent).
Trump Behind in Texas
TDS Types Explained
- TDS Type I: Trump can do no right.
- TDS Type II: Trump can do no wrong.
TDS Type II is Rampant
Those inflicted with TDS Type II generally believe the polls are all wrong and it is impossible or nearly impossible for Trump to lose. The disease is rampant.
They note Trump won in 2016 and believe their man is ahead.
TDS Type II is rampant. Of course, so is Type I.
Not 2016
Those afflicted with Type II note that Trump won in 2016 despite trailing in the polls.
This is what they miss.
- The 2016 polls were not that wrong. The polls were within margins of error.
- Nine points is not within margin of error.
- Trump trails in four Wisconsin polls by a minimum of 9 points.
- Trump trails in three Michigan polls by a minimum of 11 points.
- Trump trails in three Pennsylvania by a minimum of 10 points.
- Hillary was widely hated. Hatred of Biden is not that widespread.
- Trump barely won and were it not for a last-second gift from Comey, it is reasonable to assume Trump would have lost.
- Fox News is not distorting its polls.
Anyone who does not understand the above points has TDS Type II.
Foot in Mouth Disease
Trump badly handled Floyd and Covid-19. He has a severe case of foot-in-mouth disease.
His re-Tweet today of a racially charged Tweet involving “white power” and massive amounts of profanity is nearly guaranteed to further erode support from seniors and independents still sitting on the fence.
Not Impossible For Trump to Win
Despite the above, it is not impossible for Trump to win. Rather, it is unlikely and increasingly unlikely.
It will take a clean sweep of every close state and a turnaround in Pennsylvania and Florida for Trump to win.
Anyone who says that is impossible has TDS Type I.

Mish
Mish is a tool for for the technokrauts and their kleptocracy.
Gonna be hilarious when tRumptard wins and the real nagger in Mish removes his mask. SO FUN!
Would someone please explain why white power is racist, and black power is not?
I am getting real sick and tired of double standards perpetrated by the liberals.
Trump stop piddling around and Start Draining the SWAMP!
Payroll Tax Cut Holiday and turn it Permanent.
If I hear one more comment that all these bailouts are on the Tax payer I will go nuts! None of this will ever be paid back by the tax payer. That is the problem!
It may not be paid back, but the taxpayer is on the hook for paying the interest on the debt. Interest on the debt is now 20% of the federal budget and may very well double at the rate things are going. At some point in the not too distant future, the Federal Government will find itself in a budget crisis it will not be able to borrow its way out of and will forced to raise taxes…. a lot. Before this is all over it would not surprise me to see an 80%-90% top tax rate, and the average worker around 50%.
Some debate if a President can even legally delete a tweet…
it being presidential record-ish and all…
meanwhile King Chaos has deleted 875 tweets per the following site…
If there were such a thing as a disinformation horror film…
this is the part where someone says “it is coming from inside the white house”.
Nothing is impossible but Trump is doing everything to lose – because he only cares about locking in loyalty from a small electoral base but those people are a big future media base. He will take the Republican Party down with him. Trump only cares about monetizing this. it’s a lot better for his media future if the Republicans get wiped out because then he has more Democrats to attack when he moves his act to television. If you look at everything through this lens then it all makes sense. The Republican politicians cannot protect their party. They had their chance in impeachment and squandered it. Now he owns them.
After watching that video everyone loses it, goes into overdrive screaming racist thinking thats the problem while ignoring the real issue. Look at the way those people were acting. THATS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR. Thats TDS. If those miserable assh#les weren’t there screaming “nazi” and screaming accusations about people they don’t even know and standing in front of vehicles in the street its practically assured he never would have thought or said that.
It was clearly said in jest.
Looking in as an outsider from across the water, what does that guy have to do or say to get kicked to the kerb (or curb as you folks say) by the GOP? Surely they could do a deal to let someone else run, who would guarantee a pardon if he/she won?
I genuinely fear the prospect of a completely deranged Trump in full denial mode after losing in November, declaring that up is down, red is green, he won the election and asking “how do I point the missiles at California and the other dissenting states?”.
It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to have someone only as flawed as Boris, sitting on a massive majority over here.
Yea if the elections were held tomorrow, Trump would be finished.
The Republican party needs to throw him off the island. I wonder if some faithless elector states will nominate someone else at the GOP convention.
Mish has to say he thinks white power is despicable but he fled multicultural Illinois for Snow White Utah. White Flight Mish voted against minorities with his feet.
I think it is less likely that he will run.
It’s not because of the polls. The country is barely out of the covid woods and the Globalistas have engendered mayhem across the land. It’s the most chaotic, unpleasant period since the post JFK assassination years.
So much so that:
there is ZERO possibility of anything approach a reasonably fair election;
there is ZERO possibility that whatever result is published it will be accepted by more than half the population;
there is ZERO possibility that it won’t be contested in dozens of jurisdictions;
there is ZERO possibility that the adjudications of those contested jurisdictions won’t be met with disbelief, scorn, outrage.
There is ZERO possibility that even were Trump to win, he would receive any good will from the Resistance, who already ruined his first Presidency with merciless lies and outrageously unfair and treasonous attacks;
There is ZERO possibility that they will not escalate Resistance after the election, promoting riots throughout the country, with Democrat Mayors, Governors and PD Chiefs standing down, and Military Brass refusing to help.
Therefore, Trump is facing a No Win Scenario.
Therefore, I don’t think he will run.
Unless he can pull a rabbit out of the hat.
Trump is a master of the Reality TV story arc.
The Presidency and a Presidential election with pandemic and insurrection is screaming good material.
He is down and out.
What he is doing now (Gladiator Sea Snake speech):
Sub-poenas in Senate are coming with testimony that cannot go against recently released material proving treason beyond any doubt at all;
Indictments will be forthcoming.
At that point, the opposition will have a choice.
They will either surrender for this cycle and admit guilt, or they will double down with more mayhem and outrage. Probably it depends a lot on the media: if they convey to the non-partisan middle the depth of the treason and sedition against this President and the country, then maybe the fuel for rioting will be lacking and people will insist that a more reasonable approach be taken, that fair elections and good will be the name of the game.
Nah… they will all double down. The country will go to the dogs.
Trump will pull out.
PS Unlikely Positive Scenario #2:
Trump withdraws candidacy and endorses [Drumroll]
Exonerated General Flynn, fully rehabilitated after proof of the crimes perpetrated against him are fully aired (in next few weeks).
After this is digested by the public, those Independents and moderate Dems disgusted enough will vote for Flynn over Biden who helped perpetrated the crimes against Flynn and Trump – aka Treason.
Flynn will get a landslide victory.
He will appoint Trump as Infrastructure Tsar.
Trump will enjoy 4 years of rebuilding the country and will do an excellent job getting the best value, things coming in under budget and early as is usual with his operation.
The Republic will be saved.
President Q will save the day!
You should write your own blog. No, seriously.
You must have wet dreams about this.
TDS Type II
TDS Type II: saying he will withdraw.
Yeah, right!
BA are you okay?
I have an illness and often can’t sleep (Lyme), so do get a little loopy sometimes.
Basically I am disturbed at how the American Republic is dissolving in front of our eyes and most people are distracted by stupid side issues deliberately thrown up.
Like covid 19 surge in Florida and Texas, talking about 50 extra deaths this week, maybe 200 in two weeks. Everyone always knew numbers would go up with opening but now media – and pundits – scream hysterically when it happens.
The country is being brought to its knees by organised anarchists and enabling Democrat officials (Governors, Mayors, Police Chiefs etc.) and people talk about police training and race relations, totally buying into the BIG LIE behind it all.
Yes, I’m alright. But the world isn’t and it looks like it’s going to get a lot worse.
But also: I was trying to make it a little amusing. I find TDS I & TDS II are both overly humourless.
Deep breaths BA I know I have to sometimes. Like when I found out my house has a termite problem and I have no idea where I am going to come up with 30 to 40 grand to repair it, and the seller actively hid the scope of the problem, and where is the much vaunted American justice system when I need it’s help? It would appear I have to just keep making payments till I decide to walk away and stick the lien holder and the VA with the property as the house collapses. I have tried to contact both and the mortgage servicer has no machinery to get involved, the VA took my name and number two weeks ago and never called me back. Lawyers want $300 per hour so that their billing would exceed the actual repairs. And all the while the house is getting closer to falling down.
RE: “where is the much vaunted American justice system when I need it’s help?”
It’s been bought and paid for by the same entities who have bought and paid for everything else.
Sorry to hear of your troubles. It is becoming more and more obvious to more and people that although a certain level of corruption is to be expected in any system involving large numbers of human beings, we are well over the normal green, steady level and we are now in the extreme flashing red with alarm wailing!
Perhaps we are just in the ‘waking up’ phase as this becomes more obvious to the majority in the middle, those who rarely get riled up about anything because they are too busy leading ordinary, productive, busy, demanding lives.
But after this phase, unless there is substantive, deep reform, looks like the Republic – and the whole approach behind it – is for the birds.
Less dense:
Nothing is written in stone, but I fear that unless a truly game-changing choice is on offer for the election, one that dismantles many of the root causes of the rot (like the credit cartel banking system), not just surface manifestations (venal politicians and big corporations), that there will be no remedy for this. The country will fracture into enclaves, basically, which might make for better community life, but will no doubt cripple the national economy.
Sexuality has changed, technology has changed, and wealth has changed. These are the three social centers around which all problems now revolve, and conservatives hate it all. Who would have thought conservatives would make billions out of legalized marijuana just a few years ago? Ask John Boehner who staked his political life on keeping weed illegal, but once relieved of office is now getting stupidly rich off of selling drugs.
Liberals want to work with the changes but the right wants to just deny human nature and turn the clock back or better yet keep most changes as long as the white male straight money power belongs to them, that is how we ended up with people like Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump in positions of power. Puppets and strings. Both sides have them, but one side benefits a few despoilers of the planet and people, the other realizes it can despoil only with the permission of the despoiled. It knows the serfs must be taken care of in order for them to remain masters.
The solutions are going to hit us harder than Covid. And they will be done. Sooner than you think.
Wake me up when Trump smashes demented Biden. Good night.
Why is the retweet so bad?
It is how Donnie Fatso™ really feels.
Next, he will tweet: Putin’s bounty on USA soldiers is good. (Keeps them alert.)
Also positive for Afghan GDP … winning!
I really think Trump knows what he is doing and is trying to appeal to hard core base. Unfortunately that will not be enough to get him elected. Also the fact that he exhibits such poor judgement along with some of his recent statements about testing too much suggest he has lost it.
So looking forward to your reaction when you have to change your diapers after tRumptard makes a joke of your intellect and understanding.
Tre45on
Market underpricing president Joe Biden fall 40%
tRump wins again by dividing the seniors!
tRump did it tongue-in-cheek
Calling out someones inappropriate behavior while ignoring someone else’s inappropriate behavior is illogical.
Those people showed up to the old folks trump parade to antagonize and stir up sh!t. They were successful and had the cameras going to record it.
Incredibly inappropriate tweet by trump whether he heard it or not, but he is what he is.
Great point. It’s not at all unusual to start shouting Nazi rhetoric at people who disagree with you, in fact, every American does it. Nothing to be concerned with whatsoever, especially in the current political environment.
I know it. I’ve been called a nazi and a moronic racist on here for being centered and I’m not even all white! neither one apologized but thats ok… right? I mean I had it coming for not being agreement with them./s
I’m a centrist myself and the old Bob Dylan song “Stuck In The Middle” summarizes my entire life. 😉
Stealers Wheel not Dylan
What a hukin loser.
When the huk did any political parasite ever do something appropriate? You are too funny and I would love to have a video of your face the second you realize Joe the Pedo does not get the power to rape your grandkid.
I think it is useful to get the Trump Apologist’s Creed in before some of the usual suspects swoop in to do so, so here you go:
“Trump didn’t say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean that. And if he did, you didn’t understand what he meant. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have still said and done worse.”
“It was a joke”
Excellent summation
Shorter Apologist’s Creed: “You’re wrong, Trump’s right.”
…And if all of that fails, he was just playing 4D chess….
When they asked about where was his white hood, they actually meant “Where’s your white neighbourhood” , basically telling him they owned the white neighbourhood. He then made fun of them by saying white power, because they are all white. The second time he says it it sounded like “white powder” maybe, he might have been saying they were all coked up, or that they are like anthrax.
Whatever, it was white on white and the last time they argued with each other over blacks they had a civil war.
Even if he meant what you think he meant, whatever that is, why would anyone want to apologise for him ? He could do that himself if he felt he had done something wrong, no ?
