No, because inciting violence against a candidate is bad too. We're not big on "well the 2A people can deal with her" thing.

Yeah I don't see what's bad about it. I think people only hate it because Trump tweeted it. If he wants to shitpost a little, let him do it.

I think we've left the realm of serious political discussion and entered the arena of wrestling jokes.

Hes the president of the United States not some edgy teen. There's a certain amount of respect one has to have for the office. And by tweeting like this Trump has shown that he doesn't have the respect for the office

People don't like it because it could encourage some to literally beat up the media.

Presidents have done dumber, gimmickier things than this. Look hard enough and you'll find some examples.

If Obama tweeted a cat pic in his term everyone right-leaning would have howled UNPRESIDENTIAL and lecture everyone on decorum.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

That could be construed as a whataboutism. Besides I don't approve of those gimmicks.

The Right is full of fun loving, hell raising rebels laughing their way to victory, and the Left is a bunch of uptight squares spluttering outrage about how the young punks have no respect for decorum and tradition. Best possible timeline.

It's bizzare, isn't it? A decade and a half ago it was the other way around.

From the side that cries "What About Hillary!?" whenever Trump fucks up.

Of course, people like you rush to defend her and derail the debate. It's a great tactic tbh. You just have to not bite.

Right...

I'm neither right nor left and I still think that there's a necessary level of respect for the office of the president. And tweeting like some teenage edgelord isn't respectful of the office.

The president is supposed to be a uniter of the people. The president is not only the leader of the government but the figure head of America and tweeting like an idiot doesn't respect that.

I was referring to his previous performances and why such a tactic is continuing to be used regularly as he comments.
