Trump mistakenly refers to shooting in Toledo

[underpants]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday misstated the location of one of two mass shootings that occurred over the weekend during a speech condemning the violence, referring to Toledo, Ohio, instead of Dayton, Ohio.

"May God bless the memory of those who perished in Toledo, may God protect them. May God protect all of those from Texas to Ohio. May God bless the victims and their families," Trump said from the White House.

1. There are so many mass shootings, it can be hard to keep them straight

[FarPoint]

27. I believe it was intentional myself....

He is the master of distraction and thinking and then talking about him making a stupid slip does just that....change our rhetoric off of automatic weapons, his hate speech and white supremacy etc.........We are not talking about that when we make fun of him...He knows this!

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Trump is just using this speech to deflect criticism until he has total dictatorship

We are being gaslighted and lied to at every syllable

[lark]

3. drumpf is a total idiot.

Doesn't know where the killing was (because he could care less) and totally doesn't give a shit. He is so deranged, and such a daily embarassment to any thinking person in this country.

6. There was a commercial years ago - musician calls out the wrong city

Hello Detroit!
They are in Cleveland.

I think it was a snickers commercial

[area51]

38. Or this one from SW Airlines?

[disndat]

41. Dumbass probably had his mind on

his scheduled trip to the golf course while reading the speech.

[orangecrush]

4. it's intentional

anything to distract.

[Traildogbob]

5. Not a word of his own

He actually condemned these murderers for taken children from mother's arms. TAKING FUCKING CHILDREN from MOTHERS ARMS. Master deflector. Soulless wad of shit. Fuck this evil fool! He will destroy the country, well under way. Make America Go Away. So proud.

[underpants]

8. Haven't seen it but this is just more dumbass

Like when he walked out of a bill signing event without signing the bill.

[orangecrush]

18. either way

he needs to go.

Democrats need to see this for what it is.

This is not normal gearing up for an election.

He is inciting violence to cause instability on a scale that will give him an opportunity to sieze absolute power.

[MBS]

22. My prediction (and fear) as well. n/t

[durablend]

23. It's been denounced as CT elsewhere from others that said it.

But I full well believe he intends on causing chaos at polling places.

[MBS]

39. I agree that chaos and sowing distrust in our democracy

are the main goals, for both Trump and the Russians, along with other kindred groups
(though I also believe that the potential for election-year violence, no matter who the instigators ad perpetrators, is more than zero).

[NotASurfer]

30. Agree. And to lay the groundwork for a competency defense

As a backup plan, when he is charged for what he actually has done, and of course over his frenzied theatrical denials

[hay rick]

7. Oh, no! I hope he didn't ship the paper towels there too!

Another stunning display of Trump's total lack of empathy or remorse.

[bucolic_frolic]

9. It's not a mistake. It's deliberate. No one died in Toledo.

He is saying, obliquely, that he doesn't care a wit about the victims in Dayton.

[Initech]

10. Remember when they gave Obama endless amounts of shit for reading off a teleprompter?

At least he got things like words and facts correctly and came off as a competent person. Chump can't even get that right.

[underpants]

14. That, as you know, was a RW dig at Obama saying he was stupid

Because, obviously, he’s black. Straight up racist.

Last week he got some credit for his speech at Jamestown. Credit for not making a complete ass of himself. The last big speech before that was when he said the thing about airports in the Revolutionary War. So he’s 1 out of his last 3.

[Initech]

15. Oh yes I live in a very MAGA county. I remember the bumper stickers.

"Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its' teleprompter". And these fucking idiots have the gall to call the other side racist.

I really want to believe that someone somewhere is pulling a Christina Applegate from Anchorman and hacking his teleprompter and making him say these ridiculous things, but then again, I know who we're dealing with.

17. +1. The furniture of our children:

[Scarsdale]

11. If God really wants to protect this country,

he will help (D)'s take over the reins of leadership. God knows how badly the (R)'s have performed. Putin must be celebrating, his plan for the USA to destroy itself from within is working. No missiles have to be fired. All that was needed was to put an incompetent, dumb as a box of rocks, narcissist sexual abuser in the WH, and the gop would protect him. Well, that plus a LOT of rubles of course.

[hlthe2b]

13. Geez. If I was in Toledo today, I think I'd be on edge....

[Scarsdale]

16. All that was missing was

a shot of him walking away with "I really don't care. Do U?" painted on his back. I guess his escort/nude model wife was too busy making her Christmas plans for the WH. I honestly DESPISE all things tRump. Worst first family EVER to infest the WH. Not to mention the costliest. All are grifting frantically, before big orange daddy gets impeached.

[left-of-center2012]

19. Trump also said ...

"Law enforcement will have all the reeeses they need ..."

Assuming he meant 'resources' ?

[underpants]

20. A red letter day for dumbass

[crazytown]

21. He was reading off a teleprompter

[jmowreader]

24. He has thoughts and prayers

Well, I think this country’s fucked if we don’t vote him out next year, and I pray that if he does lose the election, the Secret Service flies him and his entire administration to his Scottish golf course the night of the election after taking all their phones away, so they can’t stir up any shit.

[Docreed2003]

25. That crap is intentional...

I firmly believe that this is an intentional distraction by Trump and a massive shout out to his MAGATs that he really doesn't mean what he's saying today

[mnhtnbb]

28. I wonder if it's code for his Nazi followers to plan something for Toledo.

[obamanut2012]

31. This -- 100% this

Just like how the WH's flag will be raised again to full mast on 88/HH Day.

[MattInMN]

26. Stay strong Toledo!!

Biggest mass murder since the Great Bowling Green Massacre.

[WhiteTara]

29. He does this because he has so little respect

he doesn't even bother to say the names correctly. I'm sure it's planned into the speech.

[NotASurfer]

32. He did that when his staff told him he has to go to Paradise after the Camp Fire last year

Called it "Pleasure" in front of the governor, the mayor, and the cameras

His not-so-subtle way of saying he doesn't care and resents having to take a day from his taxpayer-funded golfing

[WhiteTara]

37. He calls Kevin McCarthy "Steve"

same thing. We dirt under his feet.

[BigmanPigman]

33. Dayton's mayor made a remark about it.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212350511

She was not amused.

[More_Cowbell]

34. A tweet has a picture showing that it wasn't on the TelePrompTer

It said "Texas" and "Ohio"

Link to tweet

(sorry, I tried but I can't get it to come through with just the bottom post)

[SMC22307]

42. I was initially going with "it's deliberate" b/c he thrives on distraction and gaslighting...

but if that teleprompter pic is legit, the prick couldn't be bothered to remember that it was Dayton. He is truly vile.

[SergeStorms]

35. Toledo is scheduled for next weekend.

I guess he got his white supremacist scheduled atrocities mixed up.

What a loser. They probably didn't give it much coverage on Fox and Fiends this morning, so he's not really sure where they happened.

[underpants]

36. Good point

If Douchey and the other two don’t mention it, it didn’t happen in his world

[marble falls]

40. If we wait long enough, there will likely be one there. Maybe he just let the cat out his ...

"I am a Nationalist" bag.
