Trump Claims He Doesn't Know Who The Proud Boys Are, Calls On Them To 'Stand Down' | MSNBC
Once again Ignorance of Trump is
on Full Display. He doesn’t have a
Clue what’s Happening in this
Country…..🙄
….or pretends not to, once confronted on his bigotry and racism!!!
Vihari Royal ah but he does! as long as it works in his favour, anything goes.
He knows, he’s acting!
BELIEVE me you TRUMP is DANGEROUS…HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT’S GOING ON…HE LIKES VIOLENCE,LIES, INSECURITY,TO MAKE AMERICANS POEPLE SACRED IN ORDER TO CONTROL THEM#😲😲😲😲
Sure, that’s why he spoke directly to them on national TV.
@Wheatie Sweetie Why don’t you ask the OP, DM, defending Mr. Trump’s innocence?
@Wheatie Sweetie I think she was joking
@Marcilla Smith It’s called Poe’s law. I got it, if it helps, but apparently too subtle for some.
@Marcilla Smith Do you think maybe the Proud Boys will start painting THEIR faces orange, too? Now that they have been given the validation their pitiful souls have been seeking all their lives–first on the playground and now in the streets?
@woss you, kitty cat, are clearly a feline of taste
Republicans had eight years of Obama and now 4 years of Trump to come with a health plan and still nothing!
Didnt they ‘majority rule’ the house and Senate until 2018 midterm elections?
Of course they can’t,!!!
They have been to busy trying to get rid of Obama care.
It’s sad to have a president that claims to be so ignorant.
America….Let’s get back to the United States of America and out of the horrific sh*** sh***
When Joe mentioned “proud boys” t’rump didn’t say, “What is that? Who are they?” By itself, there’s no way to know they are a group unless you already know who they are. t’rump definitely knows about them and definitely wants their support because he’s a white supremacist, just like they are.
Yep
Yeah, and one with such a big brain, too.
@Ernest Austin the only reason he opens his mouth is to change feet
I’ve never heard of the IRS. Don’t know who they are
That would explain a lot, actually
The sharks are circling the chum filled water that was trumps administration …. It’s feeding time
It appears Trump’s stroke has affected his memory.
The orange criminal was usually the dumbest person in the room when he was in his prime, now that he’s obviously suffering from some, or several, forms of age related mental decline, he’s ALWAYS the dumbest person in the room.
@Jude Jackson AGREED 🤘
Just look at how many liberal males are BISEXUAL and or HOMOSEXUAL 😳

@William H Music 2020, will Trump become a Liberal when he goes to jail and gets a boyfriend?
Jude Jackson 😭😭😭 that’s terrible I’m ASHAMED for laughing
He’s the one who said their name in the debate, but he doesn’t know who they are? Jeez, he really does think he can lie his way out of anything…
Exactly! sadly, that’s because some people do believe him, his lies have gotten him to where he is today, the white house, & his supporters love him for that
Unfortunately, yes he does, and he has for many years, without ever really being penalized
Sad times for America
I heard Biden say Proud Boys when Trump asked which WS group they’d want him to disavow. If he didn’t pick up on the context clues. He’s mentally unfit.
@Kjleed13 Agreed. Biden said the Proud Boys. But, Trump clearly knows who they are.
Trump: “Proud Boys? I don’t believe I know who that is. Are you talking about Don Jr and Eric?”
@The Flame Fist God Then I will pull up a vid and see…
Bucky Pinata That’s not true. You missed some lines. Trump clearly identified the Proud Boys by name after Biden identifies them as a White Supremacist group. If Trump didn’t know who they are, why didn’t he say so during the debate. Below, is the transcript about the White Supremacy exchange.
1:04:23 WALLACE
Okay, you have repeatedly criticized the Vice President for not specifically calling out antifa and other left-wing groups. But are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups? And to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities, as we saw in Kenosha, as we’ve seen in Portland? Are you prepared specifically to do that?
1:04:46 TRUMP
Sure, I’m prepared to do it. I would say- I would say, almost everything I see is from the left-wing, not from the right wing-
1:05:55 WALLACE
So what do you, what do you say-
1:04:56 TRUMP
I’m willing to do anything I want to see peace.
1:04:57 WALLACE
Then do it, sir.
1:04:59 BIDEN
Say it, do it, say it.
1:05:00 TRUMP
You want to call them — What do you want to call them? Give me a name, give me —
1:05:04 WALLACE
White supremacists and, white supremacists and right-wing —
1:05:07 BIDEN
The Proud Boys.
1:05:07 TRUMP
Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. But I’ll tell you what, I’ll tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem. This is a left-wing problem….
@Bucky Pinata WOW.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JZk6VzSLe4Y
You have fake ears or dirty ones. 🤣
@Bucky Pinata I gave you a link to the video, liar.
His friend roger stone does, and some Republican congressmen are involved with proud boys. Trump is a liar.
didnt he say he did not know stone that well
@Mark Jones ONly 40 years together plotting this, might have had coffee once
@Lars Jones hahah yes
Actually one of the Proud boys leaders has been on Hannity.
You’re right.
He is sending signals to his antagonists. Trying to use intimidatory tactics on voters..everything this man says others do is exactly what he is actually doing..
Trump: The Proud Boys? Didn’t really know them. I think they were just coffee boys for the White House.
Oh, I remember now! The Proud Covfefe Boys!
“The world sees Trump for what he is — insincere, ill-informed, corrupt, dangerously incompetent and incapable, in my view, of world leadership….If we give Donald Trump four more years, we’ll have a great deal of difficulty of ever being able to recover America’s standing in the world and bringing nations together.”
Joe Biden
@Craig Conway Dear Troll, Did any of your parent’s children survive?
@Craig Conway <•••••••••Idiot
@Craig Conway could likely be a foreign agent hired to troll. Should always check out these peoples accounts. In this case the accounts only been open about a year with almost zero content.
Just another indicator that American elections have a lot of outside influence. If the Trump Administration didn’t benefit from it so much maybe they would have done something about it.
@Craig Conway blow a dog
@Craig Conway Ignorance can be fixed; Stupidity is forever.👉You MUST be infected by that BRAIN Eating Amoeba …🤯👨⚕️⚕️🩺
If think his memory is bad now, wait until eric is deposed by SDNY.
Too bad law enforcement will have to deal with Trump’s boys.
As Joe Biden said to Trump last night: ” He’s a LIAR” !
Biden has 47 years in office as an establishment politician of lying. Spare me.
And a 🤡
Trump: I don’t know who Trump is? Probably dementia it’s about him.
Lol 😂🤣😆😂
Next week:
Reporter: “Will you condemn white supremacists?”
Trump: “I have no idea what white people are.”
He already did that years ago and made up some BS about his earpiece not working
what are people?
“White? I’m orange.”
“Never heard of em.” Sounds familiar. This guy needs to go to prison. For a very, very long time. If we want our country to be safe he’ll need to be removed from regular society.
For a guy who knows more than anybody, he sure doesn’t know that much.
