Supporters of President Donald Trump have defended his inability to condemn the actions of white supremacists in Charlottesville yesterday by claiming he believes the Nazi flags are adverts for fidget spinners.
Trump himself gave credence to these claims by tweeting,
“Such clever flags. They even get sense dizzy motion of fidget spinner. The way the edges fly out ninety degrees amazes me. Such great degrees. So many degrees of separation. So so fun.”
And,
“So great to see so many Americans coming together to celebrate freedom. Freedom of speech only America has it. Just look at Charlottesville. Great day to be president.”
And and,
“President Obama would never celebrate energy of Americans in this way. Fake President. Only cared about his business interests. Bad. Shame. Sad.”
The President went on to suggest North Korea would be much safer if it followed the example of America and gave its citizens toys to play with and flags to wave like the patriots in Charlottesville yesterday.
“You never see big flags in North Korea. South Korea just as bad. Don’t get me started on China. They hate flags. Only Americans know how to wave the flag. American so beautiful. China so sad. Venezuala such a mess. Needs fidget spinners now!”
But critics of the scatter gun approach to leadership displayed by President Trump have suggested he needs to take a refresher course in modern history and learn the actual meaning of the flags waved by the white power marchers yesterday. That if he understood what they symbolised he would be quick to choose a side, even if he would most likely choose the wrong side, which he seems to have done already.
Steve Bannon wasn’t having that though. It’s reported he’s investing heavily in companies producing both white bed linen and replica WW2 memorabilia, but that’s just a rumour, and we’ve never try and start something like that.
