1) Bubba Wallace isn't the one who found the noose. One of his team did. Mr. Wallace never saw the noose. He certainly is not the one who tied it.
2) Bubba Wallace didn't request the investigation. NASCAR President Steve Phelps did.
3) The FBI (you know, part of Trump's government) referred to it as "a rope fashioned as a noose" in their official report.
So why, Mr. President, should Bubba Wallace apologize? And to whom?
If anything, President Trump should apologize for this tweet. Of course, he should also apologize to Barack Obama for birtherism (hoax, anyone?). But then again, why should he? Blaming blameless black men is good for his brand.
People maintain that our country is more divided than ever before. I'm old enough to remember 1968, so I dispute that. But let's go with that premise. How do misinformed tweets like Donald Trump's do anything to bring us together?
Just another reason to vote this November! Do whatever you can to help elect Joe Biden. Don't let anything deter you from sending this man home to Mar-a-Lago for good. Then, in January, we can begin to heal.
"Take a deep breath," I told myself before starting to reply. Ok, now I can coherently say that the President's use of Twitter is a ridiculous pasttime. Certainly there are more pressing things he could be doing than dithering with social media all day.
ReplyDeleteTrump is a conspiracy theory!
