How does Trump take a question about rising anti-semitism and read it as he's being accused of it?

conspiracist-in-chief, as an editor. So your suspicions should be high right away.

But if you see no problem in hiring such disgusting, vile, and nasty reporters who are truly filled with hate; if you still want to read their crap, then let me ask you this: what evidence is there of "rising anti-semitism"? As you know, many have tried to pin white supremacy on Trump, and pinning anti-semitism on him would be a coup for them as well.

I wil tell you one thing. Your post has given me some confidence in the public schools because a person like you, who was obviously born yesterday, learned to type very quickly.

If there is "rising anti-semitism" (which they obviously believe is rising because Trump got elected), then prove it. They are trying to make it seem that Trump (i) is a cause of "rising" anti-semitism, and (ii) is aloof and uncaring about anti-semitism.

The fact that you don't give a shit about the bias of The Atlantic and the depravity of its reporters is pathetic.

BuzzFeed reports that the “#NotMyPresident Alliance, a national anti-Donald Trump protest group, has released the personal information of dozens of Electoral College members in states that voted Republican. A spreadsheet distributed to supporters Wednesday included the personal phone numbers, addresses, religions, races, genders and candidate preference of the electors.” In reporting on it, BuzzFeed reporter Blake Montgomery actually linked the spreadsheet with all of the personal information of the members.

Plus, numerous confirmed examples of anti-Trump protesters committing violence against Trump supporters — including an 11-year-old, a 15-year-old and a 74-year-old — have surfaced.

The election is over and it’s time we all became more responsible in our finger-pointing and more circumspect about both sides. Let’s continue to take all threatening talk and action seriously — but let’s not pretend Donald Trump invented it.

like he will in today in SC and FL.

He decided not to go down a rabbit hole and condemn "rising" antisemitism because the press would have had a field day with him admitting that antisemitism is "rising". You're a lawyer and know how to coach a witness in a deposition. That question was loaded. Should be obvious to everyone.

The press treats us all like idiots; no reason to feel bad for them.

he can only survive in campaign mode.

The question was easily answerable and prefaced with a huge disclaimer that it wasn't about him. He didn't listen and didn't care.

I know the bots are prolly calling for his head now, but Shep Smith is a pretty reasonable guy and he was thoroughly disgusted by this.

He is proving to be a true crazy authoritarian with no intentions of turning down the rhetoric. And his opposition is also loaded for bear. As a nation, we're fucked.

That has been the siren song of every crazy right wing authoritarian politician. To me he's an unprincipled, amateurish, demagogue who is doing great harm to the fabric of this nation. We don't need him to make us great. We already are. But he's going to tear it down and leave the same wreckage he has left everywhere throughout his career.

I know you think the excavator line is funny cause you use it all the time. It's not going to happen that way though. More like the frog in the pot as this guy becomes the new normal. Stay in the pot as it warms up.

Trump's a lot of things but I don't think he's personally anti Semitic. I know there have been those allegations made against Banning and Flynn though.

He's the president. There have been 48 instances of threats against religious institutions in this country. It's something he should address.

If it was 48 police precincts it would be a big deal.

Instead he attacked the reporter and dismissed the whole thing.

I don't know if he is anti-semitic, but he has turned a blind eye to anti-semitism, which is a distinction without a difference.

And I'm sure we can all come up with things that he could have said to pretend he cares, but he's the President, he should care. In fact, it's his job to care.

Of course, he couldn't be bothered to pretend to care either.

I think we all know how he would have responded if Muslims were involved though. Which kind of gives up the game doesn't it? He doesn't really care about keeping us safe, he just knows it's acceptable to his voters to scapegoat Muslims under the guise of keeping the country secure. It's all a bunch of bullshit. Which is why a stabbing by a Muslim in Europe is immediately tweeted about and six Muslims gunned down in Canada aren't mentioned at all.

Jews and Muslims being murdered doesn't play as well with his voters as Muslim terrorism does.

Threats happen all the time. I've often thought we should just ignore them. After all, when is the last time a terrorist put a bomb in a building, and then called the authorities to tell them to evacuate before it went off. Never.

Although I assume if a threat was made against the school of your child you'd want them to take it seriously.

Anyway, I'm going to take the fact that you won't address Trumps behavior to mean you know it was repulsive, ignorant, and unacceptable.

If it is a kid trying to avoid a test, I think they should ignore it.

For a few years, they told my kid to cower in the corner and allow a shooter to kill him. Yes, let's teach our kids to be cowards. "Never risk your life for another person!" Great lesson. They are finally adopting some of the fight tactics at my kid's school. Sometimes it takes a while for common sense to prevail. The bomb threat thing: I think they should ignore them until there is at least one actual bomb that was called in as a threat.

Feel free to assume whatever you want about my opinion on Trump.
