When speaking on the Proud Boys.
As mentioned we know the proud boys aren’t fucking Nazis. We know this. Trump isn’t a racist. We all know these are manufactured lies.
I am genuinely curious though. What do you think he meant by “stand down and stand by”?
Could it be in reference to potential violent civil unrest by antifa/ blm/ the left on Election Day/ after Election Day? The left and their elites (not just random nobody’s) have legitimately encouraged violence against conservatives. Hilary herself blatantly said for Joe Biden not to concede. Twitter, Facebook and Mark Zuckerburg have promised to censor and ban any and all claims of a Trump victory. The media has gaslighted and thrown out the “won’t peacefully transition” narrative (also a lie) to the public.
Is it possible Trump also foresees mass violence and social unrest perpetuated by the left? Or am I just looking way too into the statement?
He was just repeating what Chris Wallace told him to say. Watch again. Chris Wallace said will you tell them to stand down and stand by... or something similar... trump was being a smart ass and saying exactly what they told him to say. The whole thing was dumb.
Yes, when you read the transcript he was trying to say what Wallace was asking him to say. But I mean it was in the middle of a back and forth on a debate stage not answering some written down statement where you can perfectly craft a response.
