I'm not blaming him for riots against his supporters. I blame him for being mentally ill and not getting counseling.

Nah, he says what needs to be said, but he does need a filter between his brain and mouth - how he says things is too easily used against him in a world of biased politicians and media of the opposite faith.

On the other hand he should be a riot in the diplomatic world of double speak - full of words that never mean quite what the dictionary says they mean - and phrases of indeterminate meaning.

I still don't feel like I've ever received a good answer on this:

What policy of trumps is drastically different from and makes him drastically better than Hillary?

Trump has expressed his regrets over the passing of Ali. Evidently, he doesn't realize the champ was a Muslim.

What does that have to do with anything?

Oh wait because Trump said stop letting muslims immigrate until a better system is in place to vet them automatically means he hates all muslims right?

By your logic just because I don't like jalapenos on my Mexican food must mean I hate all Mexicans.. :crazy:

Desperately reaching right there.

And to be fair there is nothing heroic about Ali or the others mentioned in that drivel. You might want to brush up on the definition of heroic.

According to Oxford Dictionary:

hero - A person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities

If Muhammad ****ing Ali isn't an American sports hero, who is? Of course, we've also learned from Trump that McCain isn't a war hero, so his opinion on the topic means jack s***.

If you're arguing that sports "heroes" aren't actually heroes, fine. I don't think that's where Trump was going. If Obama had used the term sports icon instead, would he have still taken umbrage with it?

That's the problem with elections everyone tries to argue stupid things instead of things that matter.... He didn't even mention Ali in that tweet.

Heroism..heroic..different things. Anyone can be "your hero". Hell the garbage man can be a kids hero. Did that garbage man do anything heroic or show heroism? Most likely not. While Ali can be a hero to some people he did nothing, like most sports folks, heroic.

Wanna know who is a hero? These people :

McCain isnt a war hero. He survived a war and being a POW, applause for that. I once met an Air Force fireman..he told me he "was a hero". I asked how many fires he had put out and people he had saved"..None..yeah. Like the word ignorant, the word hero gets tossed around a bit too much.

Yeah, no doubt it's pretty stupid. But that's what the internet is for.

The tweet seemed to imply that there are no American Muslim sports icons when the most famous boxer and three of the top 10 basketball players of time are/were just that.

We're arguing semantics and definitions, then. Fair enough.

Part of me wants Trump to win so that, four years later, when there's still no wall, I can laugh at you morons who really think he can do it.
