I was a student at Virginia Tech prior to and after 2007.

I'm pretty sure they did it in case another attack was possible.
You think he mobilized police through the city for fun?
This is where their argument is just ridiculous. I can't believe there are people here defending it.
Because I can tell you right now, I never thought that was the case. And I would think most sane people did not think that was the case either.

Can you tell me how many Chos exist vs. Jihadists?

I would think it would be silly to see public places littered with military level security and not be alarmed.
If a liberal president tweeted, people would talk about how "in touch" he is with the people.

Re: Trump quotes London mayor verbatim. Politifake:
Im not denying that there's a difference in that respect. I'm merely referring to the fact that if you read/listen to the London mayor's comments it's very obvious that Trump's tweet takes it out of context. I think other posters have pointed that out.

USN has pointed out how that's not reasonable or correct. He is soft on terrorism and that was Trump's point.Cpt Jagdish wrote:Im not denying that there's a difference in that respect.

The threat was gone, no more police. Khan is telling people everything is OK when police are swarming in. Looks like you, me, and Trump agree.
Trump was right to call them out. Politicians are trying to pacify the public against the hordes they've imported as votes for the welfare state

I think they're reading Kahn's statement as 2 independent thoughts. That's the only way you get to "out if context".USN_Hokie wrote:Edit: misread your post.

Re: Trump quotes London mayor verbatim. Politifake: "False"
Does deploying police all over the city not indicate an imminent attack is possible to you?
Is that where we are with this? He didn't state the obvious conclusion from deploying armed police all over the city, so you guys are going to pretend he was telling people to not be afraid that police would murder them or something?

Re: Trump quotes London mayor verbatim. Politifake: "False"
I'm just trying to figure out why he chooses to attack the mayor of the largest city of our closest ally after a terrorist attack. It's almost like there's something different or unusual about the mayor that he wants to point out.
Donald Trump is a stupid man's idea of a smart man, a poor man's idea of a rich man, and a weak man's idea of a strong man.

Re: Trump quotes London mayor verbatim. Politifake: "False"
You could ask the same question of a mayor who wants to block entry to the leader of the UKs greatest ally to his city, but not terrorists. It's almost like the mayor wants more of the problem and less of the solution.HooFighter wrote:I'm just trying to figure out why he chooses to attack the mayor of the largest city of our closest ally after a terrorist attack.

The mayor of Manchester self-identifies as a socialist. Does anyone have a link to the Trump tweet attacking him?
