The media is growing increasingly unnerved at the fact that their endless attacks on
Trump appear not to be having an affect on his poll numbers and at the fact that Trump pwned them twice in 2 days. They decided
the only thing to do is ramp up the number of hit pieces. Check the Washington Post and New York Times for reference. The media is always looking for an opportunity to attack Trump. It only takes a sentence or a fragment of one. The media decided there was an opportunity to portray Trump as as too reactionary and therefore non Presidential.
Donald Trump
opened his rally in Colorado and said that a bomb went off in NYC -
mind you he was briefed on the plane before he got off. The media,
however, has determined that Trump jumped the gun in saying that bomb
went off. They said that wasn't confirmed yet. Don Lemon contrasted
Trump's response to Hillary's where a commentator on there raved and
essentially said she seemed more Presidential.
Full Trump statement:
Thank
you everybody! Wow! This is great, in a hanger yet, right, in a
hanger! Boy oh boy. It's a movement like they haven't seen before. I
wanted to tell you that, just before I got off the plane, a bomb went
off in New York, and nobody knows exactly what's going on, but boy, we
are living in a time...we better get very tough, folks, we better get
very, very tough. It just happened, so we'll find out, but it's, it's a
terrible thing that's going on in our world and and in our country, and
we are going to get tough and smart and vigilant. And we're gonna end
it. We're gonna end it. So we'll see what it is. We'll see what it is
is.
First, he was briefed. Just because the media didn't know what caused it at that time, doesn't mean Trump didn't have more info. Granted, De Blasio didn't call it a bomb yet officially, but we don't know what Trump was told behind the scenes. CNN sourced the FDNY saying it was an IED. This was released on the network after Trump spoke, but that doesn't mean Trump wasn't told on the plane in briefing. Second, what else could have caused the explosion with the exception of gas, a transformer, etc.? Third, does that sound like a man who has all the answers? He says that "nobody knows exactly what's going on" and "we'll see what it is." Fourth, Trump told people that it's terrible, but, "...we are going to get tough and smart and vigilant. And we're gonna end it. We're gonna end it." Reassuring I think. Obama and Hillary can say all the right things, but we need all the right actions. Their policies have enabled the growth of ISIS. Finally, and most importantly, Hillary Clinton also proceeds to call it a bomb as well, but that's different of course.
I have compiled examples from various media outlets and reporter Twitter accounts (make sure you check out the Washington Post headline disparity if nothing else):
“I must tell you that just before I got off the plane, a bomb went
off in New York and nobody knows exactly what’s going on,” Trump said. Some
in the crowd audibly gasped. Trump gave no further information. In
large part, Trump was right. Nobody knew exactly what was going on. But
it didn’t stop Trump from telling a crowded airport hangar that a bomb
had gone off – though at the time he had no confirmation. At that time,
the only reports that were circulating were filled with speculation.
Neither the NYPD or the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) had
confirmed that there was a bomb, only that they were responding to
reports of an explosion in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. The
Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment on whether Trump
had been told that a bomb had exploded in Manhattan or who briefed him
on the explosions that occurred. Hours later, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio said in a news
conference that the city believed that the explosion was “an intentional
act.” Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton also referred to the
explosion in Chelsea as a “bombing,” telling reporters late Saturday
night, “I’ve been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey.” But Clinton’s
comments came after De Blasio had characterized the explosion as “an
intentional act” and after she had spoken with the mayor’s
office. However, she added, “I think it’s always wiser to wait until you
have information before making conclusions.” And Clinton said
she’d “have more to say about it when we actually know some facts.”
Look at this blatant shilling for Hillary Clinton. Look at this. He justifies her using the same language as Trump because De Blasio said it was intentional, even though he said it was an explosion and didn't use the term bomb.
Then he lists times he thinks that Trump jumped the gun like:
It wasn’t the first time Trump has speculated before the totality of facts had been revealed. In the immediate aftermath of the Nice terror attacks in France
in July, Trump called into Fox News to immediately to make the link to
Islamic terror, before it was confirmed that this was the case.
HE WAS RIGHT!
In June, soon after the mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando, Trump tweeted:
Reporting
that Orlando killer shouted "Allah hu Akbar!" as he slaughtered
clubgoers. 2nd man arrested in LA with rifles near Gay parade. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2016
At the time Trump tweeted this, it was not confirmed that this was the case.
Before officials confirm cause of explosion, Trump calls it a "bomb" 30 mins after initial reports:
Colorado Springs, Colorado (CNN)Donald Trump on Saturday night quickly described early reports of an explosion in New York by telling his supporters here that a "bomb went off" in that city.
Trump
made the statement before local officials had publicly confirmed
details of the incident or what caused the explosion. Typically,
national political figures use caution when describing unfolding
situations and law enforcement actions.
"Just
before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in New York and nobody
knows exactly what's going on," Trump said at a campaign rally here.
Two hours after Trump spoke, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the explosion "was an intentional act."
But,
he said, "there is no evidence at this point of a terror connection."
And the city's police commissioner, James O'Neill, said the "exact
nature and cause" of the blast "has not yet been determined."
The
Trump campaign did not respond to numerous requests for comment
Saturday night on whether Trump had any evidence the explosion was a
bomb or whether he was in contact with NYC officials.
Trump's
Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, spoke to reporters in White
Plains nearly two hours after the explosion and similarly called the
incident a "bombing."
Clinton
said she had been in touch with various New York City officials. She
declined to answer a question about what effect, if any, the explosion
would have on the 2016 race.
It
is not until paragraphs further in the article that he mentions Trump
was briefed prior to getting off the plane. No mention of that in his
Tweets, though, which are retweeted by liberals who hate Trump.
Actual
contents of article didn't elaborate on anything except quote Trump,
and they do provide full quote. However, contrast that to their
headline for Hillary (who also said a bomb went off):
Clinton Cautions Against Drawing Conclusions On The New York Explosions Before Facts Are In
This
sort of BLATANT BIAS is why Donald Trump banned them from his rallies.
They have multiple hit pieces up on Trump including one calling him a
charlatan because his hotel is expensive and not everything in the room
is made in the USA and another saying Don Jr.s "missteps seem to involve
white nationalists and Nazis."
New from @AP: Trump appears to preempt NYC officials, publicly deems explosion "a bomb" before investigators do
Donald Trump appeared to pre-empt New York City officials when he
declared Saturday evening that a "bomb went off" in New York City before
officials had released details.
"I must tell you that just before
I got off the plane a bomb went off in New York and nobody knows what's
going on," Trump said, minutes after stepping off his plane during a
rally at an airport hangar in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He continued: "But boy we are living in a time -- we better get very
tough, folks. We better get very, very tough. It's a terrible thing
that's going on in our world, in our country and we are going to get
tough and smart and vigilant."
The Republican presidential nominee made the comments around 9:10
p.m., shortly after the explosion in Manhattan's crowded Chelsea
neighborhood and as emergency officials were responding to the blast. Local authorities have said they believed the explosion, which
injured 29, was an "intentional act," but declined to answer questions
about the cause at a news conference that began about two hours after
Trump spoke. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said then that it was "too early
to determine specifically what the incident was caused by" and that the
investigation was still underway.
Note: also left out the "we'll see what it is."
(Snip)
Now Clinton:
Trump's rival Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, sought to present a more
cautious response, underscoring the difference between the two
candidates' styles. Clinton was
briefed on the incidents shortly after her speech to the Congressional
Black Caucus Foundation dinner in Washington.
After landing in suburban New York City, Clinton told reporters she
had been briefed "about the bombings in New York and New Jersey and the
attacks in Minnesota." She said, "we need to do everything we can to
support our first responders — also to pray for the victims. We have to
let this investigation unfold."
Hillary calls it a bombing too, but can we defend her? You better believe the AP is going to try:
Clinton was referring to a pipe bomb that exploded in a New Jersey
shore town and reports of a shooting and a stabbing at a Minnesota mall.
Oh, so when she referred to bombing she was only referring to New Jersey, eh? Even other reporters didn't make that distortion.
Clinton, asked about Trump's saying that a "bomb" had gone off in New
York, said it was "important to know the facts about any incident like
this," adding, "I think it's always wiser to wait until you have
information before making conclusions, because we are just in the
beginning stages of trying to determine what happened."
Here are a sampling: @realDonaldTrump I bought into the #MakeAmericaGreatAgain campaign. I voted for you. Starting to regret my decision. This country was built by great Americans from #shitholecountries. Please "SHUT THE F**K UP" you are making this country look very bad. https://twitter.com/TomRuszczyk/status/951792682279604224 President @realDonaldTrump your "shithole countries" comment is unpresidential, and I'm VERY sorry I voted for you! #Haiti #Africa https://twitter.com/Robbin_Young/status/951642216555978753 This woman, Robin, was definitely Trump supporter and a more prominent one on Twitter at that. I voted for @realDonaldTrump , and I regret it. He is a racist, foolish old man. Thank you @donlemon for saying these clear facts to our nation. #ImSorry #donlemon #Haiti https://twitter.com/Ahsiqa/status/951657299973627904 @realDonaldTrump I voted for you and now I find out you are a RASIST. What are doing to our great country
After the attacks of last week in which Trump was accused of doing something egregious by sharing classified info with the Russians, in which he was accused of asking Comey to cease an investigation, in which his Comey comments from a meeting with the Russians were leaked, and wherein a special counselor was appointed for the Russia investigation (with no proof of any crimes committed), it is clear more than ever that he is under assault. The media thinks they smell blood in the water, and their usual attacks have gone from a 10 to 20. Turning on the television or looking online, there is obviously a lot of frustration with regard to leaks and concern with the narrative so focused on the Russia investigation instead of Trump's plans - be it Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Michael Savage,Ann Coulter, Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Alex Jones, or Roger Stone. These people were Trump's biggest campaign backers and still support him. You can see this among Trump supporters in comment
A REBUTTAL OF HILLARY'S SPEECH A little over a week ago, I guess about a week and a half, Hillary Clinton gave a speech on race, basically accusing Trump of being a racist. As I listened to the speech, I became more and more frustrated because there were plenty of things that I thought could be rebutted. I decided then that I was going to do a response, a fact check if you will, of Hillary's speech. It obviously took a while to respond to everything, so I couldn't get my response up immediately or in as timely of a manner as I would have liked. I have started a blog where I have posted some of my posts rebutting various news articles against Trump and addressing common liberal talking points. This speech was full of talking points that I thought needed to be addressed. I realize that it is incredibly lengthy, but perhaps you might like to scroll through it. I bolded her statements, and there are comments by me and links to articles if you need some help in
Fear not! 1. No one trusts or believes the media anymore.
ReplyDelete2. Trump was again correct.
