    Ahh no he didn't, he asked if he had apologized for acting as he did, making it appear there were racist either at the track or members of a team who were racist and would engage in a such an act, before he knew the facts which was that it had nothing to do with him or race. He assumed there were racist there smearing NASCAR and the track before he knew the facts and even when he did he still tried to make it a race thing when he could have simple Tweeted out "It's not true now let's all move on" and be done with it.

    Yeah because it's like the most important issue we face as a nation. The pandemic, the debt, terrorism, our broken healthcare system...Nothing compared to an old bit of cloth. There is nothing more pressing.

    I don't know why you are berating me and not Donald Trump for making that an issue. He chose - today - to attack Nascar for a decision that they made more than a week ago regarding the confederate flag.

    I completely agree that he shouldn't be making racially charged attacks a central part of his re-election campaign. That is his choice to focus upon instead of the "pandemic, the debt, terrorism, or the broken healthcare system."

    Berating you? Sensitive much? The problem is everything is racial with you leftists and yet you accuse Trump of being the divisive one.

    Never imply that I hate my country. That is a very significant red line for me. I will only warn you once.

    Here's a partial list of all the racially charged choices Trump has made in recent weeks.

    He attacked multiple professional sports teams for their consideration of changing their name because the names are offensive to a significant segment of the population.
    He criticized the only black NASCAR driver and demanded an apology for a hoax.
    He gave a July 4th speech frame police brutality protesters as a left wing mob that intends to end America.
    He repeatedly defended confederate statutes - going so far as to write an executive order to try and expand the protection and to demand National Guard help to defend those Statutes.
    He called Black Lives Matter a "symbol of hate."
    He retweeted a video which included a white trump supporter yelling "white power" and only deleted it after the only black Senate GOP member called the tweet indefensible.
    He ordered police brutality protesters cleared from the White House with tear gas and flashbang grenades so that he could do a photo-op with "a bible."

    So he's a racist because he has differing opinions and criticizes others. This argument can't get any more juvenile. You guys need to top tearing the country apart.

    That is an intentionally simplistic and myopic interpretation.

    In all of those racially charged choices that I listed, race played an element and Trump made a decision to support one race over another or to attack members of a race moreso than another - that is why his choice is pretty much the dictionary definition of a racially charged choice.

    I remembered another example.

    He randomly tweeted out several pictures of random black people attacking white people and demanded justice.

    Trump's utter failure to limit the destruction of this virus on American lives and the economy is an example of something that is not racially charged. It is sheer ****ing incompetence.

    I do not hate my country. I hate Donald Trump because I love my country.

    You were warned. Get ignored.

    Since when did asking if something was accomplished become demanding that something gets accomplished?


    “Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX?” Trump wrote on Twitter.

    Wow, if you think the US mortality rate for COVID19 is sheer ****ing incompetence, than I don’t even want to know what you think of other country’s leaders.

    I get that you are left clinging to any tiny shred of a rational position in order to justify his attack, but ask yourself this question. Does Trump imply that Bubba should apologize with this tweet given that he called this event a hoax, tweeted about it a week after the fact, and blamed this event on Nascar's losing TV viewership?

    When you answer that question, honestly, in the affirmative, then you have gotten closer to understanding that Trump is demanding Bubba apologize.
