Trump has certainly radicalized more people who are a threat to ordinary Americans than ISIS has.

See? Taking responsibility for one’s own words is really not that hard. Republicans should try this sometime.

No need to apologize.
How many voted for Trump?
How many members of ISIS?

You didn’t need to apologize, and I think the media should be careful about bending to donnie’s
whims. He absolutely has allowed the radicalized a way to exercise their radical ways.

This was good. We cannot beat these b#stards by engaging in the same kind of fact-free hyperbole they do.

Has anyone actually run the numbers?

“It’s unconscionable for you to say that,” said fellow panelist David Urban, a former Trump campaign adviser.

So true.

Linking the President of the United States to ISIS for cheap political points is absolutely unconscionable!

Oh…oh, wait a minute…

I’m waiting for someone to dub over President* Trump’s agitprop press conference about banning Muslims during the campaign with something snarky about banning republicans until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

By the way, I see absolutely no reason why an apology was required. Although the specific numbers are not provable, the sentiment is entirely on point. Trump HAS radicalized Americans, which has clearly inspired domestic terrorism. The statistics are readily accessible for anybody that cares to look. Commentators should not be afraid to inform the public about what is happening in our country and why.

Overall Trump has done vastly more damage to the U.S. and the world than Isis.

Ugh. Either control yourself or don’t apologize. Say you were making a point, a joke, or anything. But apologizing makes you look week - worse than that, gives Trump an example to use.

ISIS: 30,000

Republicans: 60,000,000

Which number is bigger than the other?

She should not have apologized, and thanks to the poster who reminded us that DT claimed that Obama had literally founded ISIS.

Dumb of her to apologize. Just drop it and move on.

Why did you apologize? I want people on the left to stop apologizing especially for telling the truth.

To paraphrase the late, great Dizzy Dean…

It ain’t fake news if it’s the truth!

So let’s call it Irrational Exuberance if you insist. Everybody with an ounce of sense knows it’s true.

More people by a factor of 10 or more. And, as with ISIS, the most radical are now killing people as a result.
