Mr. Trump said in Tuesday's interview that he believed the debate over the flag is a freedom of speech issue. "You know, it depends on what your definition is. But I am comfortable with freedom of speech. It's very simple," Mr. Trump said.

Like a true racist.

RodneyClaeys He’s lucky to be orange !

yeah, somebody needs to explain their statistics to them, im sure he’ll change his stance on that too to get as many voters blahblah fuck this ignorant sensible babble political bullshit

Trump is racist, crooked- dishonest,

Very true, he should've added that blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime which is also why they have more police encounters.

It’s true

Stupid Stupid person..

How true

So what's your point? More whites are killed by police then Blacks. Just facts. So what's your story here?

That doesn’t make it right. It’s protect and serve not shoot to kill.

Yes, so shouldn’t we make changes?! Is he literally a moron? If the police are murdering blacks and whites for reasons unclear or ruled unjust, WHY ARENT WE ALL MAD

For all of us. Don't point weapons at cops Don't resist arrest Don't argue your case on the side of the road.

This is a fact. In fact, police kill more white people than black people

Where’s the lie

That man is about as connected to reality as a 2 yr old.
