As human beings we must have a legacy of peace to all of humanity to combat extremism.

Because it doesn’t have Trump’s name on it?

Good decision Donald.

esouthersHVE Of course Spanky won’t sign!

Doesn't it just make you gag?

Only thought n prayers!!!

More proof Trump is PRO EXTREMIST, like the KKK!

Of course we won’t. Otherwise, where would the haters feel free to spout their ugly rhetoric? They’re only emboldened behind the screen.

realDonaldTrump your a communist at heart, you need to resign.

So he supports extremism?

How many times does that Nazi worm have to do things like this before it’s completely obvious that he is hateful to the core!? How many times does a DJT have to perpetuate hatred, bigotry and violence before we get rid of him and his enablers? Impeach ALL of them!

Freedom of speech... nothing puzzling about it

😮😮😮

Yeh, that would ban the chtristian lies, bullshit, and propaganda that defines 'extremism' for us all. Extremism originates in a church.

Trump will not sign this international agreement for 2 reasons. First, it means agreeing with other countries on something he did not present. Second, it would limit his own extreme tweets! Trump is such a worldwide loser!

That's because Trump the Chump is himself is an extremist. An unintellectually inclined one but one nonetheless.

Of course...

Of course a republican won't go along with it, hell far right extremism is one their favorite election tools, right up there with racism.

Because 45 is a russian spy

DerangedDonald is so ignorant. Why does he NOT want to sign to combat online extremism? He is guilty of online extremism and so is Javanka!

Chris_09765 Trump is an agitator & depends on it for support. He would be slitting his own throat signing it obviously.

BeBest America 🙄

Of course not

WHY?

With such a crude, uncouth, loud mouthed, despicable and lying individual at its helm, this is no surprise.

So Trump wants to defend his extremist Tweets

Well, of course not. Trump is the embodiment of online extremism

Of course he’s not going to sign. What would he do with his mouth the remaining time of his term and, possibly, four more years if he signs it?

Totally agree! How do you after them? Who pays? (US of course)a waste af time and money! Where do you begin? Lousy idea! Ask the Hackers how to nail them , they know!

CNN SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer Trump still standing up 4 his white supremacist, Nazi, hate mongers & extremists. On-line hate is very dangerous & Trump needs his hate mongers to fuel his hate messages. On-line chat portals are arranging murders. FBI needs to step up & stop them.

If it is something that has a moral aspect for good and curb the activities of his racists supporters he will not support it.America does not stand for the good of mankind. We let the rat in through the hole and we are in Chaos and no longer a beacon of light to anyone.

He won’t sign it because a large portion of his voter base and seanhannity audience are extremists. He can’t risk losing them

Why?

Lol. 'Be best' much?

Crooked Donald will do anything to win and will accept help in any way. Fake news online, hacked emails, all good!

Because the White House is a blatant supporter of WhiteSupremacy yet NO ONE seems to care. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Why would Trump attack a major part of his white supremacist base? He needs their vote & hopes they could recruit more.

Trump can’t do that, he is the face is extremism!

FrancesRauer NoMoreH8 would mean realDonaldTrump wouldn’t have a way to rev up his base. TheResistance

hardball Why should they? It’s Trump’s best way to get his hate-filled messages out. His most effective, too.

hardball Oh? Is Trump in another one of his snits?

If there is a right side & a wrong side, you can bet Trump will pick the wrong side. This shouldn’t surprise anybody! Sociopaths goes against the grain of good! No ability to feel shame, empathy, humility, no conscience, is indicative of no belief in God! Which equals Anti-Christ

hardball Of course he will not. He is one of the major contributors to “on line extremism”.

2021 we will Join and will also be adding white supremacist, White nationalists, Christian militia, KKK, Nazis, Fascists to our terror list

👎. Not our potus!

The globalist cucks and leftists want to censor everyone because they're losing so badly. It's tough to debate for leftists when they can't just scream like kids over their opponent.

hardball What President idiot is going to do is make the U.S. lose the allies America has had for so long then get us in a war and start WWIII with no help at all.

Excellent that means we cant be like China north Korea Iran Cuba Suadi Arabia or any of those countries that silence their citizens voice under the guise of combating extremism

DrGJackBrown Because how would Trump support his base and spread smears and propaganda?

Trump is the enemy of all people, but the grater danger is Putin.

Another sabotage to castrate US influence in the World is part of daily Russian attacks against the Nations. They are subtle but real and very insidious.

moire7 I hate this entire administration with all my heart. I hope they all get kidney stones!

His evil intent is to destroy our Republic and to offer its shell to the Russian tyrant.

Yeah online extremism the camouflage for censorship of free speech. The EU has gone to the point that criticism of Islam online is criminal hate speech.

So you guys are for limiting free speech? You believe censorship is a good thing? Who determines what hate speech is, could hate speech be saying a group of people are “a basket of deplorables”?

Rouge administration in the USA

The US is slowly turning into those they are trying to defeat:Extremists.

The Unites States joins Iran and Hezbollah in an apparent support of Extremism.

Be Best and ImpeachTheMFTraitor

So now people what do that make the person who is inside the whitehouse resist RESISTERS

Thank you, President Trump.

That's no surprise, Trump is as Extreme as you can get. Fear and Hate that's his Forte.

If trump signed that he would not be able to tweet his racist hate speech and fire up his domestic terrorist organizational base to preform acts of domestic terrorism to murder and send bombs through the mail.

Too many subtitles in it. I agree with Trump

World should Boycott Trump and his administration.

hardball In the Trump Bizzaro Universe, of course he wouldn't support such a right-thing-to-do move.

International Agreement that bans speech And DemocRATS are angry about it...

Iwillnotfall Because that's his 'campaign stratagy'.

IMPEACH TRUMP IMPEACH HIM IMPEACH TRUMP IMPEACH THIS RACIST SEXIST LIAR IMPEACH TRUMP IMPEACH

I would never align with those two either.

Donald can’t turn his back on the extremists who helped him get elected and will vote for him in 2020 !

Pathetic

Why would ConDon insult and offend so much of his base by doing that? Don't be ridiculous.

Don't sign anything which will silence criticism of a certain religion ,the way they have taken away all free speech in U.K.

Trump is involved in the online extremism. He can't join a pact that targets himself.

Trump went on to say 'if you ban online extremism today, next thing you'll want me to leave'.

Nothing says FASCISM Like refusing to condemn it TrumpIsARacist TrumpIsAFascist

It would be nice if you did not enable RightWingReligiousExtremists by running ad/commercials of DarkAgenda by DavidHorowitz. Saw it(several times) during maddow and again during TheLastWord. Please stop running the ads.

Listen closely. Can you hear the slap on the faces of our allies? Well actually our ex-allies. We are estranged. We better hope we don’t need help. Oh I forgot we have new friends for support like Russia, Iran, North Korea.

Former NYC mayor Ed Koch, 'The United Nations is the world's largest cesspool.' = true. The UN is also promoting world gun confiscations and one-world order.

Of course not

Good! The Christchurch call to action is a TERRIBLE idea and aims to stifle freedom of speech on the internet. The only answer to bad speech is to counter it with good speech! This agreement is about CENSORSHIP of wrong-think. More on my thoughts here..

Define online extremism. You’re definition isn’t like everyone else’s.

hardball He can’t sign against himself. ImpeachTrumpNow

We will not let UN tell America what to do. We will KEEP our guns!

hardball Of course not, that would hit his Twitter

Trump would never do that. He's still mad because sites have blocked some right wing nuts!

The fuckwad won’t fight Election interference or online extremism, but wants to fight poor Conservstives being suspended from Twitter.😪

That’s because that’s his base.

Too scared they’ll be prosecuted under it

Trump's asking for trouble!

NAZI WHITE HOUSE.

Way to make the USA look like Shit Again 45

Why not realDonaldTrump? Why not?

Why are you showing that hateful propaganda conspiracy theory commercial for an alt-right Cult book “Dark Agenda”? It airs several times per hour. I’m turning you off and watching CNN until you STOP airing it.

So no BeBest International?

The IllegitimatePresident wants to continue his own online extremism.

POTUS IS A HYPOCRITE,

It’s Miller Time, again...🤮

If it's not a Trump idea or one that he can easily steal, he will never agree to anything

Well then he wouldn’t get to pollute Twitter so...

Yes they will, after you've gone.

And WHO decides what 'Online extremism' is

Remember America has FREEDOM of Speech!! Those other countries just PRETEND to have this Right!!

Of course not. Trumpalumpa won't offend his friends and supporters.

Yea I guess we like our white supremacy lol oh lord...

Literally why the fuck not? America is so weird

😡

Amazing how many people hear are so willing to throw away the First Amendment. I guess the Founding Fathers knew better and the reason why they made it the first one because of people like all of you. 🙄

Sighs

hardball Trump is doing this because Russia are considered terrorists. You can't battle your best friend, Putin.

MsMaddieGonzale Be best, realDonaldTrump!

Did any of you Knuckle heads on the Left ever think that posting online extremism is a good way for that criminal or psycho to get caught maybe before the act is committed . If banned there perhaps would be no trail .

Of course not. That would be abandoning the leader of cult45's base.

Trump is very afraid of Jacinda Ardern. Dem candidates could learn from her.

BeBest VOTE next elections and get the Republicancancerout and Republicantreasonout GOPbetrayedUS GOPNOMORAL GOPComplicit GOPRussianParty GOPComplicit

The USA and this President doesn't want to hold on to any of their old allies. They're trying to make Russia Saudi Arabia and Israel are allies. They're not concerned with our old allies. We are in trouble people

BIGGEST LIE THE LEFT WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE: America is RACIST and SEXIST!! The only ones that are Racist/Sexist are the LEFT! Patriotism and love of FREEDOM is called being an AMERICAN and THAT is the Conservative value system!

moire7 Of course not, Trump would be agreeing to combat his own Twitter account.(Although it sounds like a good idea.)

BeBest

The extremists are his base!!

I'm sure the orange fucktard has a good reason: it would suppress his followers and, as someone else noted, the Russians. He hate free speech, if it doesn't support or worship him.

They should open this up to the public to sign. Let’s s see how many Americans sign, despite the current administration’s unwillingness to do so.

hardball The republi-Klan party number one fan

So, who decides what is considered extremist comments ? I think if this is enacted, the socialists would have their hands all over it. I don't want Angela Merkel defining extremism !

Of course it won’t. That would be the civilized thing to do, and it would require leadership.

Why!! WHY!?

Our Constitution and Free Speech DO NOT align with their ideologies. WE are FREE of tyranny , not RULED by freedom grabbing governments. Trump is USA 1ST !!! WE dont need Euro styled influence. GO TRUMP , GO TRUMP USA 1

WH obviously oppose extremism, so they can't sign the agreement.

hardball Huh

What do we stand for these days?

Why wouldn’t trump sign this agreement!? Does he have his period

That’s because the US is no longer the leader of the free 🌍 World ! So other countries must now lead us out of oblivion.

BeBest

The president is a white nationalist, hello!

I thought he supported his wife's Be Best program. Its done so much.

That hair dyed gold clashes with the orange makeup. Too bad everyone is afraid to tell him.

Why won’t he? Did they give a reason. He never wants to work with allies.

surprise surprise

He didn’t get permission to sign it. putinsbitch

Duh !

Of course he won''t he has to protect our neo nazi terrorist, as the repubs have been doing for decades.

Of course not

Uhhh first amendment plus there are already laws against hate speech...what has happened to liberals?

Trump's not gonna go against his base

AF Barr's investigation into the Deep State is well under way. They are all running scared and turning against each other. Hope they look good in orange. Hillary better hide deep in those woods of hers..

The White House (WhiteHouse) 5/16/19, 7:36 PM This afternoon in the Rose Garden, President realDonaldTrump unveiled a plan to create a fair, modern, and lawful immigration system for America.

Of course not because Prince Rabadash is betting that such online extremism will benefit himself by disparaging his opposition. He also wants the US to become ISOLATED from other nations and unified protections so he can exercise totalitarian dictatorship.

That's what they have been calling 'conservative bias'.

Biden said China is “not competition for us.” Then, last week, he suggested he’s open to taxpayer-funded health insurance for illegal immigrants.

Bs Best

Did daddy Vlad tell his weird orange kid NOT to sign the agreement because it would upset the parent/child balance?

hardball Yes. The administration doesn't want to hobble it's own campaign's strongest outreach tool.

Not surprised

Trump represents extremism in all its glory. TV reality show.

Of course Trump will. Not supports it he support white nationalism why would he agree to sign that Trump is all about hate

Hard to sign something your own president violates daily.

We’ll sign it once this buffoon is out of office 🦅🇺🇸

Reminds me of the time the United States under Obama didn't sign off on a UN resolution condemning Nazism.

Of course we did ‘cause we are among the despicable countries now.

Because that’s just an excuse to censor free speech (or political dissident speech).

He's not gonna alienate his support base.

Unsurprisingly. If they had to enforce it, the Republicans wouldn't have a platform to spread their hate and divisiveness. And let's not even get into President Toddler and his Twitter tantrums.

Of course not can't upset Republicans duh

The moldy cheese stands alone, moldering

Whhhhhhhy
