No 'president' has ever thrown gasoline on racial fires like trump.

....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!

When I think of racist murders, you flashing your "white power" hand signal is one of the first things that come to mind...

issue in the election, law and order. Nearly everyone
I know around here is a Trump supporter they will eat that statement up about shooting. Makes him sound tough.
That is the only thing he has left race.

Trump is just doing this because he simply will not allow the "memory of George Floyd" to be dishonored. He wants everyone to know he won't let that happen. "Thank you!"

He doesn’t control the national guard. The Governor does.

This President proves, time after time, that he has no clue how government actually works.

I suspect, however, that he’d be even more dangerous if he actually knew what the hell he was doing.
