My point is simply that this kind of talk is irresponsible for a president. You don't jump to conclusions that the regular guy on a message board is making. Like it or not - and I don't like it - some level of political correctness is required in international politics.
don't try to talk common sense to the Trumpkins

Let's assume he is the sitting president. Do you think this is a responsible tweet given the facts at hand?
Yes. God forbid he follow the story and suggest we get tougher, smarter and more vigilant on terrorism whether this particular case turns out to be terrorism or not.
I think the "great hate and sickness" either applies to the terrorist or the liberals. I can't really tell on that part.

How about having a national figure who doesn't feel the need to tweet about every single event that happens in the world. I'm curious how Trump will handle interviews this time around. After the Brussels bombing, he went all tinfoil hat as his interviews progressed during the day.

If our current Prez kept his mouth shut, there wouldn't be as much racial strife in this country.

Trump's greatest asset is that our country has hundreds of millions of really stupid people in it.
You're right.
Those hundreds of millions really stupid people have been trying to run this country into the ground for years and have finally gone too far and the smart people have finally had enough and are ready to take it back.

If he wants to send that tweet out and say "When will we get tough, smart, and vigilant on terrorism. Great hate and sickness!", then fine by me.
My issue is this part: "Looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from Paris."
That is 100% pure speculation and he's just adding fuel to the fire by pointing out that it departed from Paris - a place ridiculed by terrorism lately.
Apparently I'm crazy for asking a president to act like a president and leave the speculation up to guys like us.

Due to their own stupid fricking decisions. Maybe Trump is pointing that out because he doesn't want the same thing happening here... which it seems is what the liberals want to do.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - this cycle makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It feels like he's running for senior class president more than president of the US.
At the end of the day, I'll never vote for Hillary, but it doesn't mean I have to pull the lever for that goofball either.

Again, all fair, but this sort of rhetoric is EXACTLY the type of thing that we blame liberals for after a school shooting or some other gun tragedy.
You can criticize France's policies without speculating about terrorism in a plane crash in a tweet.

If the plane was only flying at 37,000 ft, theres no way it just malfunctioned, the plane just glides at that altitude.
looking at our stuff now.. it extends from tunisia to greece now, so that would be directly in the path

I think it's funny that people think he actually gives a frick about whether or not events like Paris/Brussels actually happens here. It's a political tool that he uses for clicks and retweets. I applaud him for using twitter to his advantage and not spending money on political ads.

Vote for Gary Johnson.
If he gets 5% it would be huge in creating momentum for a third party.

A lot of reports out there saying "terrorism more likely" or "terrorism not ruled out", so yes it is speculation...hence, "LOOKS LIKE" and not some definitive wordage... And it is a fact that the plane left Paris.

How have they not found debris or slicks?
This isn't the Indian Ocean and they know pretty close to where it crashed.

Why wouldn't he? It's a fact that terror events hurt business... and he's a businessman.

Which is kind of puzzling considering his erratic rhetoric.

Well we can argue over what that level of PC should be, but I'm ready to see it change drastically from kissing every arse in line, which is our present situation.
