Trumps New Years Tweet

[wdmso]

this is what I think the POTUS elect is expected to say. not taunting New Year’s greeting to those who opposed him.

Happy New Year to all, including the many who did not vote for me and let us move past the election and start the New Year on Making America great again . Love!


I guess I am wrong to expect him to act presidential ...

And in 50 years I have never Heard a POTUS use the word enemy when referring to the American people.. or Sports Revival New England and Miami they are not called enemies..

you can not Take something out of context when its used as Noun as he used the word enemy (the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed.)

We Know Putin isn't his enemy after this Tweet When Putin Russia won't expel US diplomats out

Mr Trump used Twitter to praise Mr Putin’s tactics, saying it was a “great move”. Id love to hear what I am missing here

Yes, you are wrong if you expect him to act the way you think he should. That's why he won. He didn't "act" like a typical politician. Many Americans had seen enough acting. They recognized it for what is was--"acting." And they saw the real hypocrisy unfold after the act was over.

You must have missed Scottw ponting out Obama using the word, even saying we would punish them. I assume he was talking about Americans.

I didn't take it out of context. I put it in the proper context. You are the one that seems to want to create a context.

Putin is not Trumps enemy in the context of Trump's New Year's twitter. As far as Putin not expelling US diplomats goes, that WAS a great move. And it did create a less inimical context.

Boehner said about Mr. Obama's use of the word "enemies"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a president in the White House who referred to Americans who disagree with him as 'our enemies.' Think about that. He actually used that word. When Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush used the word 'enemy,' they reserved it for global terrorists and foreign dictators -- enemies of the United States. Enemies of freedom. Enemies of our country. Today, sadly, we have president who uses the word 'enemy' for fellow Americans -- fellow citizens. He uses it for people who disagree with his agenda of bigger government -- people speaking out for a smaller, more accountable government that respects freedom and allows small businesses to create jobs. Mr. President, there's a word for people who have the audacity to speak up in defense of freedom, the Constitution, and the values of limited government that made our country great. We don't call them 'enemies.' We call them 'patriots.'"

Mr. Obama told Baisden that he should have used the word, "opponents," rather than "enemies"

I have yet to see Trump Correct his usage of the word as Obama did.. shocking

Seems The rights outrage over the POTUS using the word enemy evaporates with Trumps usage how surprising

‘We’re gonna punish our opponents and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’.... Barak Obama

still sounds pretty "authoritarian"
