Fake video of Trump shooting opponents shown at his resort

Acadia said:
This video was in a separate room and played on a loop on a small tv screen in a corner. It was not shown to an audience. People wandered in and out of this room. Twitter reports that the room was mostly empty and creepy.

Ah, so a typical Trump hotel room.
 
Twitter reports? :shock:

It is important he says it himself due to his relationship with some of his more potentially violent followers. That will have the effect of delegitimizing this somewhat.

Everyone has crazies who support them. Its ridiculous to expect someone to address every single thing their supporters do because the media makes it a story. The media needs to apologize for sensationalizing things.

DP has at least one way out there nut case.

Who in their right mind would think inaccurately describing all the people on a list as democrats makes for an appropriate response to a hideous video shown at a Trump property by Trump Supporters for a Florida GOP event?

Perhaps you would find it entertaining to sift through some of the prior massacres and mass shootings in the United States and speculate on the political affiliations of the perpetrators?

If so, I have two links for you.

Trump condemned the video. I condemn the video, but I also condemn the violence in the Hollywood movie from which the spoof was derived.

Democrats condemn republican spoofs of bad movies and then condemn republicans for being violent. Perhaps they forget that all assassins who have killed US presidents were either democrats, socialists, communists, anarchists or some other cultist madman, but not republicans.

The White House said Trump condemns it....

...which basically means Trump thinks it's super funny and will definitely bring it up in some early-morning tweetstorm and will also talk about it positively during the next Trump, Inc. rally during chants of lock the media up.

I am fairly confident Booth was a member of the American Party, or the Know-Nothings, but he definitely would have been sympathetic to the Democratic Party and the positions it held around the time of the Civil War.

So wait...a cartoonish representation of a scene taken from the movie "The Kingsmen" (starring noted liberal Samuel L Jackson) including 'box' head representations of fake news media outlets and political opponents is something for you all to dribble pee over...and NOT a representation of 'art' or an expression of 'free speech' like what we have seen from the idiot left?

This ISNT something that has anything to do with the Trump campaign. But...no doubt...people will be shrieking SCANDALOUS!!!

It's everyone's responsibility to deal with it, and let's be honest Gifford's career was effectively ruined after that image with Trump's head was released. She was even investigated and interrogated by the Secret Service.

And Snoop Dogg deleted that image from his social media once people complained about it.

Not that you would know this, or acknowledge it if you did, but Trump is a control freak and nothing -- especially something like this -- happens by chance or without Trump's prior knowledge and authorization, and especially not at Doral. Now, where was it you said you 'believe' he condemned this?

Turn on the news. He did come out and condemn it.

I was out shopping. Since you won't post it, I'll look myself. Nevertheless he hasn't condemned it earlier when you said you thought he might have. As I've said, Trump is a control freak and particularly since Don jr and Sarah Sanders were present, there's no way he didn't know that video would be shown at Doral.

This is disgusting but this is what we get from people that were raised in the era of violent video games. When Donald Trump is Captain America in a video and killing politicians and news people, that's a sign that our society is sick, but to play it at one of Trump's golf clubs, the Trump International Doral Golf Club -- where Trump wants to host the next G7 -- it's proof of something much more sinister at work here. The showing of this video to Trump's supporters and donors at the club sends a pretty clear warning to anyone that doesn't support Trump that their party will do anything, even incite violence against those who oppose him. It's a very dangerous game they're playing.

If Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris had shown a similar video at one of their rallies, only with Trump as the victim being punched, stabbed, choked and murdered, what would the reaction be from the GOP? Elizabeth Warren is being butchered by the right for her claim to Native heritage and for being a nursing mother and fired. A video in the vein of this but with Trump as the victim/target would have incited people on the right to take up weapons and start murdering anyone they ran across that opposes Trump.

I understand that Don Jr. and Sarah Huckabee were there when this video was shown. The religious right won't condemn inciting violence and murder but will raise their fists because women have the right to choose.

Is there any member here that's a Trump supporter than will dare to justify this?

The video appears to be created by TheGeekzTeam on YouTube, a pro-Trump channel that has a long history of creating video mashups in support of the 45th president. The video in question was posted to the channel in July 2018.

According to the Times, the video was shown last week at the American Priority conference at Doral Miami resort. Speakers at the event included Donald Trump Jr and former White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Charming.

If a left-wing group or an individual that identifies as a leftist had created something like this, with Coulter, Fox news and Hannity as the targets, Trump Town supporters would be calling for their/his execution.

And it's not okay, and it wouldn't b difficult for you to say: "You know what? It's not okay for Trump supporters to do this either."

I think part of the problem Trump supporters have is that people like Hannity and Tucker Carlson think everyone is not a Republican is out to get them and is somehow radical, ultra-socialist, commie extremist hell-bent on the destruction of the United States. It's just crazy talk.

Your political opponents are not your enemy, they are your fellow American citizens and they have the same rights to participate in our legal and political processes as you do.

They did the same thing with a beheaded version of GWB...and any time they get caught they giggle and apologize...oopsie.

What are you talking about? Are you talking about the GOT thing, where HBO said the following:

"We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste," the cable channel said in a statement. "We made this clear to the executive producers of the series who apologised immediately for this inadvertent, careless mistake. We are sorry this happened and will have it removed from any future DVD production.

Is that what you mean by "giggle and apologize...oopise"?

Nah...just man the **** up and own it

I disagree. My own personal opinion is that nobody should be doing anything like this. This sort of political propaganda encourages political violence, and I do not agree with political violence.

but FFS dont then turn around and be a bitch when someone posts an obvious cartoon mocked up video feigning outrage and waving your hands in your face like you have the vapors.
Click to expand...

Well, it appears that when somebody creates this sort of propaganda, and it is directed at the President, the Secret Service takes it very seriously.

I think people should be outraged about this. Cesar Sayoc's attempt at mass murder of people at various media organizations wasn't that long ago, or have you already forgotten? And this wasn't just some random video on the internet. They played this stuff during Trump's campaign event.

Trump and his supporters are going to end up inspiring more politically-motivated killings.

Also, remember this:

Trump’s Tweet About Civil War Was Just What the Far Right Oath Keepers Wanted to Hear – Mother Jones

Far-right and Alt-right Trump supporters are literally foaming at the mouth in anticipation at the mere thought of a pending civil war.

Its all so sad. Mr Trump is a paragon of virtue, but is constantly brought low by all these strangers who seem to congregate around him. He is the ultimate victim. Its a shame he's so helpless to do anything about it.

This isn't merely 'scandalous' as the previous comment said, this is vile and disgusting. The fact that it was intentionally shown to rich donors at the Doral International, the same golf club that Trump wants the next G7 meeting, is disturbing as hell. Sarah Sanders was present as was Don Jr. I'll bet that Sarah Sanders and her sanctimonious father Mike Huckabee were happy with that video. There's nobody more threatening to religion than people like them. They're heretics and have no soul left to burn.
 
Its interesting that the shooting takes place in a church, as though they see Donald Trump as a Dylann Roof. Very revealing.
