    Never mentioned Obama.

    Trump does love to use Radical Islam though. He should have said we do not stand for White Nationalist, KKK, and Neo-Nazi ideals. Something.

    The KKK has little influence left in this country. Why continue to attack a dying group when Antifa, Black Lives Matter, protesters and extremists are now the people inciting violence?

    Or the BLM, anti-fa etc etc etc. Why name them at all? Don't give any of them voice or coverage, just denounce the acts.

    But he didn't condemn white supremacy, or racism or those who practice or advocate them. Trump needs to be FIRED!

    Trump is a clown who contradicts himself on pretty much a daily basis. Trump is an elitist who has no respect for individual rights and freedoms and favors anything that will increase Gov't and police powers towards a quazi totalitarian police state.

    Obama's comments about Trayvon too.
    For Obama the racist, only BLM.
    Trump is speaking of one nation.

    The VA gov is partisan. I saw two groups going at it, neither worthy of naming.

    Did you denounce BLM or have a problem when Obama supported them?

    Why single out only Trump? Obama welcome them into the white house and supported them. (BLM). Nobody seemed to care yet if Trump does not denounce them then he is doing something wrong? LOL your logic is stupid. Trump is against violence and that was his message.

    Give Obama a free pass for supporting BLM but attack Trump for not denouncing them?

    Blacks voted for Trump too. The problem is Obama and the left brainwashed many blacks into believing Trump was racist when Hillary was probably more racist than Trump. Trump does not care about this KKK member. Trump won do to hard working American's feeling abandoned. This KKK leader is stupid. Trump was denouncing violence. What is wrong with that?

    Trump speaks of one nation. His message was about ending violence. No one group is to blame. The problem lies with millions of American's in many different groups or not in sny groups at all. Trump had good intentions and the left still hate him. When will the hate and violence ever end?

    Good post by the way.

    LOL nobody had a problem when Obama supported Black Lives Matter or when Hillary and Bill praised a former KKK member but Trump denounces violence without putting the blame on any one group and you all freak out and attack him as if he did something wrong?

    I think we can see where the problem lies. People want to end the violence and hatred and Trump supports this but Anti trumpets act like it's the end of the world because Trump did not denounce 5,000-10,000 KKK members. The KKK is not really a problem anymore. Get over it.

    I disagree with you. What evidence do you have that supports your claim Trump is trying to put full power into the government and police?

    Regardless he denounced violence and there is nothing wrong with that.

    Not denouncing the KKK is tantamount to supporting them. Trump won't denounce them because they are an important part of his base. Trump doesn't care about American society. All he cares about is Trump.

    Trump is constantly blowing smoke up the backside of the Police. He wants to ramp up the war on drugs and increase police powers.
    He hates freedom of speech and his administration has threatened journalists with jail if they do not reveal their sources.

    Trump is an elitists who does not care about the little guy. This follows from the Eugenics ideology of his father.

    This is not just Trump's agenda. The Establishment hates the principles on which this nation was founded - individual rights and freedoms "Above" the legitimate authority of Gov't - and the constitution and they really hate "limited Gov't power". The move towards increasing Gov't and Police power has been going on for many decades but has really been ramped up over the last few decades towards a quazi totalitarian police nanny state.

    Have you not noticed ?

    LOL and again Obama supported Black Lives Matter. Do you denounce Obama for doing that? Or will you give him a free pass like most on the left who attack Trump for not denouncing the KKK but said nothing when a violent group like BLM was welcomed into the white house by Obama.

    Again the KKK are weak and fading away. The bigger issue is violence and many groups do it. Trump was attacking the main problem.

    Also you are lost if you think Trump's main voter base was racist white people. He won mainly because of hard working middle class people who felt abandoned by the DNC and christians. None of that has to do with the KKK. Over 60 million people voted for Trump. How many members are left in the KKK? 10,000 maybe? Trump seemed to care more about this country than Hillary did and that is partly why he won.

    I don't see what the problem is with ramping up the war on drugs? It's about time someone did that. He is beefing up security on the southern border to deal with the illegal problem that Obama let get out of control.

    I agree with your last part that the establishment aka shadow government or Skulls, whatever you want to call them are trying to take over this country but I don't believe Trump to be one of them. Maybe I am wrong but I just don't see it.

    Because it was white supremacist and pro-fascism "anti-fascists" at fault, like at previous events in Berkeley. When left wing groups openly advocate for the initiation of violence in response to speech, the left and their lackies go quiet. Even praise them.

    I decry violence on all sides. That's the difference.
