Trump retweets video of supporter shouting 'white power'

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53212685


In the tweet, which was later deleted, the president thanked "the great people of The Villages" - referring to the retirement community north-west of Orlando where the rally took place. "The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!!," he wrote.
The video included in the tweet showed a Trump supporter in a golf cart raising a clenched fist and shouting "white power". He appeared to be responding to a protester calling him a racist and using profanities. Other anti-Trump protesters shouted "Nazi" and other accusations at the rally-goers.

White House spokesman Judd Deere said the president "did not hear the one statement made on the video" but saw "tremendous enthusiasm from his many supporters".

  1. Is there something wrong with White power? Whites have had power in this land for 400 years.

  3. I don't know. Presumably because it had become a lightning rod for criticism because on it someone shouted, "White Power!"

    I am a White activist. I'm Jewish. But the enemies of the Whites generally lump me in with the Whites. I can pass more or less for White if I tuck in my Tzitzis and cover my head with something other than a Kipa.

    I spend a lot of time on White social media and I give financial support to a prominent White Nationalist.

    Among some of the Whites I am "Joe the Jew" and treated respectfully.

    I find it distasteful the way Whites are often mistreated in America. The Jews have power in this country. People of color have power in this country. Why is it that Whites yielding power is somehow uncivilized?

  4. Why do you support black power? Why do you think tlaiba and Sanders are better than white extremists? Do you think Jews in America will be safe under people like rashida, and Bernie?

  5. So lots of people show up in the video and do nothing controversial at all other than show support for Trump. One guy in the back shouts out "White power!" Trump doesn't respond directly to him. When he discovers the problem he deletes it. But once again the man is accused of being a Nazi.

  6. Torah thought on בלק
    “How fair are your tents, O Jacob, Your dwellings, O Israel! Like palm-groves that stretch out, Like gardens beside a river, Like aloes planted by the Lord, Like cedars beside the water; Their boughs drip with moisture, Their roots have abundant water. Their king shall rise above Agag, Their kingdom shall be exalted. God who freed them from Egypt Is for them like the horns of the wild ox. They shall devour enemy nations, Crush their bones, And smash their arrows. They crouch, they lie down like a lion,Like the king of beasts; who dare rouse them? Blessed are they who bless you, Accursed they who curse you!” (Numbers 24:5-9)

    Hertz Chumash p. 678: “how goodly are thy tents, O Jacob. He is swept away in rapt admiration of the Israelite encampments and homes arrayed harmoniously and peacefully, a picture of idyllic happiness and prosperity. According to Rabbinic interpretation, the ‘tents’ are the ‘tents of Torah’, and the ‘tabernacles’ (lit. ‘homes’) are the Synagogues. There loomed up before Balaam’s mental vision the school-houses and synagogues which have ever been ”the source and secret of Israel’s spiritual strength.”

    The Talmud says that Moses wrote the Book of Balaam and the Book of Job. These are really Moses’ thoughts/feelings/musings --- more fitting to be in the name of Balaam and in the name of Job. Why? I heard a thought. Moses is a strict teacher threatening severe punishments. Balaam’s visions of Israel's idyllic happiness and prosperity and Israel victory over enemies could make some Jews think they don’t have to follow the Torah. All will be well in the end, as Balaam says. Better such words be in the mouth of Balaam, an anti-Semite, than Moses, the teacher of Torah.

    “I want to thank President Trump for all he has done for Israel. Israel has never had a better friend in the White House,” said Netanyahu, adding, “Israel’s security has been strengthened immeasurably by President Trump’s bold decision to withdraw from the dangerous nuclear deal with Iran.” Describing the Iranian nuclear deal as a “farce”, Netanyahu urged other countries to follow in Trump’s footsteps and sanction Iran.

    So beautiful to hear such praises from a gentile, Balaam. Even if we sin God loves us. Thank you Christian supporters of Israel, God bless you, God bless America.
