Video Trump calls Alex Pretti shooting a 'very, very unfortunate incident'

In a recent interview with ABC News, President Trump has described the Alex Pretti shooting as a 'very, very unfortunate incident', diverging from comments made by top administration officials over the weekend. These officials had previously labeled Pretti as a domestic terrorist and an assassin, sparking outrage among some on social media.

Contrary to this characterization, Trump maintained that he hasn't heard any such negative comments from his advisors regarding Pretti. The remarks from Pretti have been widely reported in the media, with many outlets labeling him as a far-right extremist and a threat to national security.

Trump's response has raised questions about whether the White House is taking steps to address concerns about domestic terrorism and violence. With the US experiencing a rise in hate crimes and extremist activities, Trump's stance on the matter is seen by some as tone-deaf and inadequate.
 
I'm so done with how they're handling this Alex Pretti thing 🤯. I mean, first of all, what's up with labeling him a domestic terrorist? That's super serious stuff! You can't just go around calling someone that without having concrete evidence, right? And then Trump comes along and says he hasn't heard any of those comments from his advisors... which is just suspicious. It feels like they're trying to cover something up.

I'm also getting frustrated with how some people are taking shots at Trump for not being "tough" enough on domestic terrorism. Like, come on! You can't just villainize someone without understanding the context of what's going on. And what really gets me is that no one's talking about the actual root causes of this stuff... it feels like a bunch of people are just jumping on the bandwagon and shouting "terrorist" without really thinking it through.

It's just so... divided, you know? We need to have some real discussions about these things instead of just trying to score points or look tough. 🤔
 
I'm totally split on this one 🤔. On one hand, I think it's a big deal that Trump is distancing himself from his advisors' comments about Alex Pretti. It shows he's not just going to blindly follow the party line, you know? But at the same time, I feel like his response might be seen as, like, a PR move or something 🙃. The fact that top administration officials were saying such strong stuff about Pretti in the first place raises some serious red flags, imo.

And let's not forget, Trump's got a history of, you know, downplaying extremism and hate crimes 🤷‍♂️. So when he says he hasn't heard any negative comments from his advisors, I'm like, yeah right 😒. It's always about the optics, you know? The question is, are we really getting the truth here? Or is it just a calculated move to look good on TV? 📺
 
man I'm just sitting here thinking why do politicians always have to make things worse when they can just say "oh no that was bad" and be done with it 🙄 but seriously though this whole Alex Pretti thing is wild, like what even is going on? one minute he's labeled a domestic terrorist the next trump is like "meh" 😐 I guess that's just how it goes when you're in power, you can't let a little controversy go to your head... or something 🤷‍♂️ anyway, I'm just waiting for someone to explain to me what's going on with these hate crimes and extremist activities, 'cause like, isn't that basically the whole point of having a president to deal with those kinds of things? 🤔
 
Man, this is some crazy stuff! 🤯 I mean, you've got the President of the United States basically distancing himself from the label "domestic terrorist" that his own advisors gave to this guy Alex Pretti... it's like, what's going on? 😂 Is Trump trying to downplay the severity of the situation or is he just not aware of what's been going on behind the scenes?

I'm all for nuance and complexity in politics, but when you've got a President who's constantly tweeting about how great America is, it's hard not to think that he's oblivious to some of these issues. And let's be real, using labels like "domestic terrorist" doesn't exactly help to address the root causes of hate crimes and extremism... 🤷‍♂️

It's also kinda weird that Trump is now playing the victim, claiming that his advisors were spreading negative rumors about Pretti without his knowledge. Like, come on, dude! If you're gonna distance yourself from someone, at least have the guts to admit it was your advisors who were stirring up trouble. 😒
 
🤔 I'm not sure what's more concerning here, the fact that Trump's advisors are using pretty strong language to describe Alex Pretti or that he's not addressing the issue directly 🙅‍♂️. It feels like the White House is either unaware of the severity of the problem or they're choosing not to engage with it. I mean, if there's a rise in hate crimes and extremist activities, shouldn't we be taking a stand against it? It seems like Trump's response is more about damage control than actually addressing the root causes of the issue 💔. What do you guys think is going on here?
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing 🤔. It seems like there's a disconnect between what the President says publicly and what his advisors are saying behind the scenes. I mean, can we really blame Trump for not knowing what his advisors were thinking? We're talking about people with their own agendas and biases here 💭.

But at the same time, it raises questions about accountability and transparency in the White House 🤝. If the administration is serious about tackling domestic terrorism and hate crimes, shouldn't they be more forthright about their concerns and actions? The fact that Trump's comments were seen as "tone-deaf" suggests to me that we're missing a larger conversation about how to address these issues without demonizing certain groups 🤷‍♂️.

It's also worth considering why the media is still portraying Pretti as a far-right extremist, even though Trump seems to have a different view on him 📰. Is it just a case of journalistic bias, or are we being forced to confront uncomfortable realities about extremism and terrorism? The more I think about this, the more I'm reminded that our understanding of complex issues is always going to be filtered through individual perspectives 🌐
 
🤔 I'm not surprised by this development... politicians saying one thing but doing another is nothing new. The fact that Trump isn't acknowledging his advisors' comments tells me he's either not taking it seriously or just doesn't want to rock the boat. And let's be real, labeling someone as a domestic terrorist and an assassin? That's some serious red flag stuff... 🚨
 
I don’t usually comment but I just had to say something about this Alex Pretti situation... 🤔 It seems like the White House is all over the place when it comes to how they're handling domestic terrorism and hate crimes. First, they label a guy as an assassin and then Trump comes out and says he's never heard anything negative from his advisors? 🤷‍♂️ That's some weird stuff.

And let's be real, the fact that Pretti was labeled a far-right extremist in the first place is already pretty concerning. I mean, who gets labeled as an assassin without even hearing it from their own advisors? It seems like there are some serious communication breakdowns happening here 📞.

I don't think Trump's response helps to address the concerns about domestic terrorism and hate crimes at all. In fact, it just makes things worse. We need more than just empty words from the White House if we're going to tackle these issues 😔.
 
I'm so concerned about this situation 🤕. How can we call someone a domestic terrorist when the Prevti family loved him? It sounds like there's been a huge miscommunication or misinformation going around. I feel like Trump might be trying to avoid saying something that could be really hurtful and damaging, but at the same time, his response is kinda confusing. Can't we just try to understand each other instead of labeling someone as a threat? 🤗 I wish people would take the time to talk things through and find common ground. It's hard enough dealing with all the negativity in the world without making things worse by spreading hate speech 😔
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s pretty wild that Trump just straight up says one thing in an interview and then totally contradicts what his own people said over the weekend 🤯. I mean, you would think that if he really didn’t know about those comments, he wouldn’t be saying they were a bunch of crap in front of a national audience.

I don’t get why he can’t just admit when he doesn’t have all the info or when he messed up like everyone else 🤷‍♂️. And honestly, calling someone a domestic terrorist and an assassin just because of their views is super concerning. I think that kind of language can be really divisive and toxic.

It’s also weird that no one seems to be holding Trump accountable for his own words or actions on this one 🙄. Like, what if he had actually taken the issue seriously and was trying to address it? It would make a big difference to people who are worried about hate crimes and extremism in our country.
 
I'm really confused about this whole thing with Alex Pretti... 🤔 I mean, I've been following it, but it seems like everyone's just saying different things. Like, one day they call him a domestic terrorist and the next he's just an unlucky guy who got shot. It's all kinda weird. And now Trump's saying he didn't know what was going on with his advisors... 🤷‍♂️ I don't get why that would be hard to figure out. We should be able to trust our leaders, right? And it's not just this one guy, either - we've got a bigger problem with hate crimes and stuff in the US, so I'm worried that nobody's taking it seriously enough. 🚨
 
idk what's going on with trump rn... he's all like "oh no poor alex pretti" and it's just not adding up 🤷‍♂️. i mean, come on dude, you're president, you know the deal. if your advisors are labeling ppl as domestic terrorists and assassins, that's not exactly something to be ignored or downplayed. it's like he's trying to sweep the whole thing under the rug. and what's with the whole "i haven't heard any negative comments from my advisors" thing? we've all seen those reports about pretti being a far-right extremist... c'mon trump, get on top of this 📰💬
 
omg i'm so worried about alex pretti 🤕 his situation just got even more complicated with trump's comments... it's like he's trying to downplay the severity of what happened or maybe even shift the blame? 💔 it's hard not to think that pretti was already in a really vulnerable spot, and now this just feels like a punch to the gut 😩 i wish trump could show more empathy and understanding towards people like alex who are struggling with these intense feelings and ideologies... we need leaders who can address these issues head-on, not ones who are gonna make it worse 🤦‍♀️
 
man this whole thing with alex pretti is super concerning 🤕 i think trump is being really vague about what's going on inside the white house it's like they're trying to avoid talking about it or something 💔 and then we got these hate crimes rising everywhere it's like, what are we even doing? shouldn't be talking about domestic terrorism like that can't we all just get along 🤗 and btw isn't it weird how trump is downplaying everything when the pics of pretti's manifesto have been all over the news? it's like he's not taking this seriously at all 🙄 anyway, i think we need to keep an eye on this situation and see what really goes down 👀
 
I'm not sure what's more disturbing - the fact that Pretti was labeled as a domestic terrorist and assassin in the first place or Trump's denial of it 🤦‍♂️. As someone who's lived through some tough times, I can tell you that language matters. Using labels like that can fuel more harm than good.

I think we need to have a more nuanced conversation about domestic terrorism and extremism. It's not just about labeling people or using strong rhetoric - it's about understanding the root causes of these issues and taking concrete steps to address them. Trump's response feels like a Band-Aid solution at best, and I'm worried that he's not taking this issue seriously enough.

We need to be willing to have tough conversations and listen to each other's perspectives, even when we disagree 🗣️. Anything less is just gonna keep the cycle of violence going.
