Trump Claims He’s Seen Calls For Moment Of Silence For Dallas Shooter

Donald Trump told Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday that he witnessed people call for a moment of silence for the man who killed five police officers and wounded eleven other people at a Black Lives Matter rally last week.

Asked by the Fox News host if there was a divide between blacks and whites in America, Trump used this as an example of how “there would seem to be."

“It's getting more and more obvious and it's very sad, very sad,” Trump went on. “When somebody called for a moment of silence to this maniac that shot the five police, you just see what's going on. It's a very, very sad situation.”

There were no media reports about anyone calling for a moment of silence for gunman Micah Johnson, though groups from Congress to the New York Stock Exchange held moments of silence for the victims of last Thursday's mass shooting. Searches on social media for people making such calls also came up short.

Despite this lack of evidence, Trump reiterated the claim at a rally in Westfield, Indiana on Tuesday night, where he criticized Black Lives Matter for holding rallies across the country the weekend after the Dallas shootings.

“The other night you had 11 cities potentially in a blow-up stage,” he said. “Marches all over the United States—and tough marches. Anger. Hatred. Hatred! Started by a maniac!

And some people ask for a moment of silence for him. For the killer!”

Donald Trump Claims 'Some People' Called for a Moment of Silence for the Dallas Gunman

Trump has now said at least twice that some people have asked for a moment of silence for the shooter, Micah Johnson, who was killed when a police robot detonated a bomb near him.

So far, ABC News has been able to find one person who posted on two of his social media accounts calling for a moment of silence.

The man's tweet was posted on the evening of July 8, hours after Johnson was killed during a standoff with Dallas police.

The tweet was liked once and retweeted once. The matching Facebook post was liked 14 times.

One idiot on Twitter is now 'some people?'
I guess these are the same 'people' he saw celebrating on 9/11 in New Jersey.

The city of Cleveland is gearing up for what could be a very volatile situation.
I just saw on TV that they are putting up fencing, the courts are going to be staying open late to process people that are arrested, and the hospitals are preparing to handle people that might be injured.

And this jackass is perfectly willing to pour gasoline on the fire, because he thinks that if there is violence in Cleveland that will benefit him politically.

Just when I think he couldn't possibly sink any lower as a human being, the race-baiter does just that.

So is he terrified the elite will take him out at the convention, b/c I don't see him pivoting
to the general electorate. Pence is an Evangelical too, this is who Trump believes will save him?

It is very cumbersome and time consuming to search this massive content. Also when Hillary asked her backup server company to delete their content they immediately called the FBI and gave them the disks of her emails etc.

Trump acknowledges climate change — at his golf course.

Donald Trump says he is “not a big believer in global warming.” He has called it “a total hoax,” “****” and “pseudoscience.”

But he is also trying to build a sea wall designed to protect one of his golf courses from “global warming and its effects.”

The New York billionaire is applying for permission to erect a coastal protection works to prevent erosion at his seaside golf resort, Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Ireland, in County Clare.

A permit application for the wall, filed by Trump International Golf Links Ireland and reviewed by POLITICO, explicitly cites global warming and its consequences — increased erosion due to rising sea levels and extreme weather this century — as a chief justification for building the structure.

But he's lying about that.
Did you read the link I posted?
When he says he believes it's a hoax, it's just more ****, from the world's biggest **** artist.

He just wants a nice wall, if using AGW as a justification accomplishes the task he would certainly use that to his advantage.

Trump University's 'top' instructor's job was to sell, not teach.

Former Trump University instructor James Harris told students that he was Donald Trump's "top nationwide instructor and mentor" and "his number one guy." But he was a "top guy" for his salesmanship, not his real estate expertise.

In an interview with CNN, Harris admits that his main job wasn't to teach real estate, it was to sell real estate seminars. And while the school claimed its instructors were real estate experts that were handpicked by Trump himself, Harris has little related experience that CNN could verify.

There are many people on this forum that I don't agree with politically, yet I manage to have very polite interactions with them.
I'm not in the habit of starting the ****, but when someone starts it with me, then it's on.

People like you, Golfboy, and roadkill are incapable of having a discussion with anyone that you don't agree with politically without insulting them.
You act like a bunch of 12 year old schoolyard bullies, which is why I have you and GB on ignore, and roadkill is about to join you.
