No a civil war has not "started." Let's not help deflect from the absolute corruption that is this administration

...despite the best efforts of some on the right and yeah division in this country is high, but saying that a civil war has started because Donnie funds some states for some things and not others well that is absolutely a level crossed, but he's not ideological.

He's about him. That's it. We know that. Hell, when his former press secretary turned gov of Arkansas asked for money, he said no.
And that wasn't the only time a loyal red state and gov was rejected.

We can't lose sight of the grift, corruption and transactional nature of this POS.

Calling this a "civil war" helps hide this fact.

The media needs to pre-empt Trump's wiggle room answers. Ask him "Who will you support for VP in 28, Vance or...

..will you support whoever wins the primary?"

If he even remotely inserts "some say I can run," "well there's a possibility of a thir-"

No.

F that.

The journalist needs to stop him right there. Say in concisely that he can't run. Read the amendment and immediately ask the original question - who will he support, Vance etc.?

They need to stay on it. Maybe he will get pissed and openly claim that he plans on a third term. Who knows, but the media has to stop letting this "cutsy" shit fly.

He maybe serious. Maybe not. He sure loves to troll and he hates the idea that he could be a lame duck (and he soon will be) so this must be forced. This is something that journalists need to better with Trump and the GOP in general on.

No more letting them answer your question with their desired narrative.

The Post is reporting that more troops are being prepared to send to cities.

"Civil unrest" aka not being a supporter of donnie.

The total size of the force will be 23,500 troops across all 50 states and three territories, excluding the District of Columbia, the documents say. Most states will supply 500 personnel for the reaction force, with the rest falling between 250 and 450. Those forces are typically used for emergencies like disaster relief, not on call troops for civil unrest.
