Trump has deleted his tweet saying "Joe is shot" and showing supporter shouting "White power"

The tweet from another Twitter user that he was reposting and commenting on with approval, calling the Trump supporters at The Villages "great people," is still there. Posting it in case you haven't seen that video yet:








Trump might have deleted it primarily because it showed his approval of white supremacists who support him, but he could also have been warned about being called out for the dogwhistle "Joe is shot" wording he used again:

Wording that seemed even more ominous with the context of white supremacy.

Trump's deleted text there, above the tweet with the "white power" video:


Thank you to the great people of The Villages. The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!!

It's not like we don't know how it works and can't see how he signals and whistles to his base.

The thing about Joe was easy to interpret as more stochastic terrorism, Predator Grump style. There are many other words that could be used in place of shot, and obviously, Biden is not doing poorly, so it doesn't even apply in context.

Q-Anuts are listening to him and awaiting his signals.

I have finally found a site of like minds I can identify with. I am so disgusted by this president and his nest of drones who do his bidding. He truly is off his rocker.

I love the way she's taking on those smug, self-satisfied idiots in the golf cart parade. Just reinforces the fact that I could never live in a place like that, aside from the price, of course.

The Lincoln Project has it. I can't wait to see the piece they come up with for this one. It should be a doozy. Guess we know why he golfs and doesn't play tennis. With all the unforced errors he makes he'd never win a point.

Let their side be careless and, er, uninformed.


Someone had a placard made in yellow with red lettering visible at 2:08

BIGOTS/RACIEST
FLY TRUMP FLAGS


Other than that admittedly minor quibble - I am SO GLAD and very proud to see both the numbers and the FIGHT in those who showed out to ensure that incredibly pathetic parade of dotard cultists did not go unanswered.
