    "Trump comments were good. He didn’t attack us. He just said the nation should come together. Nothing specific against us. 
    He said that we need to study why people are so angry, and implied that there was hate… on both sides! 
    So he implied the antifa are haters. 
    There was virtually no counter-signaling of us at all.
    He said he loves us all. 
    Also refused to answer a question about White Nationalists supporting him. 
    No condemnation at all. 
    When asked to condemn, he just walked out of the room. 
    Really, really good. 
    God bless him."

    Charlottsville, VA ..."on many sides, on many sides ..."
    1.  Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You.....Assign To
    1.  ...can't change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson - who's next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish! Also...
    1.  ...the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!
    1.  With Mexico being one of the highest crime Nations in the world, we must have THE WALL. Mexico will pay for it through reimbursement/other.
    1.  ...Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They....Direct message
    2.  ...want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job. 
    1.  Being nice to Rocket Man hasn't worked in 25 years, why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won't fail.
    1.  Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad!

      Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me "old," when I would NEVER call him "short and fat?" Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!
