Why Won't Trump Say "White Nationalist Terrorism?"

[TrollBuster9090]

Okay, it's YOUR turn. For years you made a fuss over Obama's (but not Bush's) refusal to use the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism."

Now it's your turn. Why do you refuse to condemn:
Anti-government terrorism
Survivalist Terrorism
White Nationalist Terrorism
Alt-Right Terrorism
Anti-muslim terrorism
Terrorism against visible minorities and/or gays

All the way from Tim McVeigh to Cliven Bundy. Why won't you condemn it?

Obama (and Bush) had a good reason for not using the term 'Islamic Terrorism.' Because it actually HELPED the enemy, who were trying to portray their terrorism as a war between Islam and Christianity, or between Islam and western secularism.

Okay, what's your excuse? You DON'T have a good reason. The reason you won't condemn white nationalist terrorism, or renounce David Duke or Alex Jones is because a THIRD OF YOUR BASE are white nationalists.

1. He does not want to alienate a significant part of his base.

The only reason.

2. Not the only reason

He is one himself. Daddy Fred brought him up on a diet of intolerance, racism, and hatred. Acorn landed very near the tree.

4. I stand corrected.

Actually I am sitting while I type, but you understand.

Too bad that Daddy Trump did such a horrible job of being a father figure.

5. Trump's older brother Fred Jr isn't mentioned much

Apparently he was a pretty decent guy who didn't have Fred Sr or Donald's "killer" instinct and ended up being the family's disgrace. Here's a link to a NY Times article. Sad stuff but if you read between the lines you'll get a bit more insight into The Donald.

And yeah, Daddy Trump did a pretty horrible job.

6. So the decent guy was the "family disgrace".

Well put.

3. Trump is in fact a bigot and nativist.

Proof of this is his hostility toward Hispanics, Muslims, immigrants, and transgender Americans.

And President Obama was correct to not use the phrase ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ because to do so would be ignorant and wrong.

Acts of terror committed by those who happened to be Muslim had nothing to do whatsoever with Islam; nor does Islamic doctrine or dogma condone acts of terror.

The same is true of Christians who commit acts of terror, where they are in no manner representative of Christianity, nor does Christian doctrine or dogma condone acts of terror.
