Most political leaders spend long, hot Summers desperately trying to avoid rioting on the streets, but Trump is not your average leader. He's not your average human being either.
When he first got in, some people wondered why the rest of us in other countries were so concerned about it, thinking that whatever he did to the USA was their business and we should stay out of it. Everyone knew he was a deranged narcissist, but the ones who voted him in did not care. He seemed to speak up for all those who felt dismissed by the liberal left and has recently tweeted just two words: 'SILENT MAJORITY' in capitals like this.
During his original election campaign he appealed to the black vote by saying, "What have you got to lose? It can't get any worse than this." Oh, can't it?
He actually said that George Floyd must be looking down on him and rejoicing in what a great day this was for the country. He wants to cause trouble. He wants to shoot protesters as well as looters. He wants to divide America.
The really terrible thing is that he is appealing to the worryingly large contingent of people who think that the murderers of George Floyd should not be persecuted for just doing their job.
Can you imagine what would happen if he was re-elected?
I just try not to think about it. I shall probably not be here by then.
ReplyDeleteWhat, November?? I think you will, Weave.
DeleteI got my already programmed and blanked ATM card to withdraw the maximum of $1,000 daily for a maximum of 20 days. I am so happy about this because i got mine last week and I have used it to get $20,000. Mike Fisher Hackers is giving out the card just to help the poor and needy though it is illegal but it is something nice and he is not like other scam pretending to have the blank ATM cards. And no one gets caught when using the card. get yours from Mike Fisher Hackers today! *email cyberhackingcompany@gmail.com
DeleteIt's hard to think of any reason why anyone could possibly want him to remain in office.
ReplyDeleteAnyone sane, anyway.
DeleteThe woman Rachel posted the video of today has described him as the saviour of America, but she also said ' If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine.' Maybe she just courts publicity.
DeleteExcuse my interruption, but she has been misquoted on this and you are perpetuating it Scarlet. Have what views you like but do not perpetuate a lie.
DeleteI am sorry that this has spilled over on to your blog Tom. It would have been better for Scarlet to have addressed it to me direct.
DeleteDoes anyone know what she actually said and in what context?
DeleteHer comments were made in London at a rally where she was trying to say Hitler was not a nationalist and did not put Germans first.
DeleteWhat was the rally?

DeleteWell I have just found out that she is a far-right Trump supporter, albeit an obviously intelligent and eloquent one, so I am now keeping an open mind until someone trustworthy can verify her statistics regarding police brutality against both black and white men.
DeleteAs they say in the US, that figures. WIth regard to the stats, I have seen similar ones re. crime quoted elsewhere; perhaps they are all coming from the same source.
DeleteAs someone who lives in the US, I'm fearful of what he might do to the country if re-elected. But I also think he'll cause a lot of destruction and chaos if he loses the election. His supporters are not peaceful protesters; they're the guys with the long guns. Heard of the boogaloo bois?
ReplyDeleteI think that's how they spell 'boys.'
I've just looked them up. It is always telling when men wear camouflage in an urban setting. It's too late now. The military weaponry is legally out there.
DeleteEleven people to date have been killed during the George Floyd protests. This shit is serious. We don't want the racist status quo that trump would continue to be pushing were he to remain in office.
ReplyDeleteThe far-right love the idea that the liberals are pussy cats.
DeleteI'm feeling better. I'm feeling like several million women who marched on Washington in 2017 will be joined by several million NEW voters and maybe even some disgusted right wingers, and the orange aberration will begone.
ReplyDeleteThere are many Republicans who want to see him go too, but I can't see them voting Democrat.
DeleteHe doesn't seem to be coping very well with nuances, does he? Like the virus, he can't bully or belittle his way out of this mess.
ReplyDeleteIn a very basic sort of way I think he knows what he is doing.
DeleteI have seen some very funny 'putdowns' of Trump, Sarah Cooper, American comedians is one.
ReplyDeleteHave faith in the young.
