Desperate To Distract From COVID-19, Trump Sows Division As A Campaign Strategy | MSNBC

President Donald Trump used speeches over the July Fourth holiday weekend to attack “liberal Democrats” he portrayed as “the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters.” It’s a variation of the theme that he believes won him the White House in 2016 – but instead of demonizing immigrants, he’s demonizing fellow citizens who disagree with him.

    1. @Rob Masdorp like the Terminater in the 1st movie where he’s dragging his leg trying to get to his target… 🇺🇸🙏💙

    2. The Trumpkin 🎃
      Orange on the outside hollow on the inside and should be thrown out early November.

    1. The bigger question is why Steven Miller? The most recent speeches are Millers voice for sure, but the orange fat man reads them from the prompter like he has never seen them before. I would really like to know what that relationship is like. Who is directing who?

    2. I don’t understand how a Jew could be so prejudice and racist!
      SCRATCH THAT, I just remembered the OT!

    3. @Gary King Remember Stephen Miller’s family announced him just as Mary trump denounces trump. There are plenty of good Jews who oppose Stephen Miller associate with them.

    4. @In Tune , you mean denounces Steven?
      But doesn’t Steven realize that White Nationalists don’t accept him and his people? Unless something has changed and I’m the last to know, lol

    1. @Johnson John Williams Thank you for your comment. I would use quotation marks as to those “christians”.

    2. @Johnson John Williams
      So , another Trump supporter who hasnt been paying attention to the words of Christ.
      Hint – there is nothing Christian about Trump. Time to see the light.

    3. it’s that hate speech (I thought it was illegal). Just getting his base of haters solidified behind him in the hopes that no one else is going to show up to vote… he’s not just Putin’s fool.

    1. @bill Well there ya go…..Brazil equally evil President has tessted positive for Coronavirus

    2. @Corey Ham Desperate enough, he might want to fire nuclear weapon at the blue states so he can win
      the election. The moron can do anything to keep himself in power. Please come out to vote regardless of the poll.

    3. @Brooklynite for life I read somewhere that Stephen Miller was supposed to write this speech. It was said that his assignment was to write aspeech to unite americans.
      I guess he did interprete this as uniting his base.

  1. Combining the greatest hits of Hitler, the KKK and Joseph McCarthy takes a special kind of genius. Stephen Miller knows his racist classics.

    1. EXACTLY….. Trump’s ” speech” was RIGHT out of 1938 NAZI Germany !! SAME ROTTEN agenda….. just a different country and speaker !!!🤔🤷🤦😠

    2. @Paul PaganHawk Marshall Well… given WHO is in the WHITE HOUSE….nah…. I’m NOT surprised at ALL !! ROTTEN SICK DIEASED MINDS think alike !!!

    3. We must make sure that when we investigate, indict and imprison…Stephen Miller is one of them.

    4. @M D Yep, and those recent comments are right out of the Roy Cohn playbook…trumpski’s first mentor. You remember Roy…right? He did all the work for Joe McCarthy and put the words in that fool’s mouth.
      If trump is pure evil, Roy Cohn showed him the way.

  2. Not taking a stance about slavery, represented by the confederate flag, is taking a stance.

  3. “President Putin says it’s not Russia. I don’t see any reason why it would be,” he replied.

    Never forget Helsinki and the bounties on American soldiers.

    Biden 2020
    🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. Obama, Bush II, Clinton, Bush I, and many other President’s before WOULD HAVE NEVER GONE IN A MEETING WITH A FORIEGN DIGNITARY WITHOUT INTERPRETER/NOTE TAKER, Secretary of State or other US official!!! NEVER!

  4. TRUMP isn’t even helping white people just lying and charging the poor with a threat to his and his friends wealth! 😠

  5. His independence day speeches felt really sinister to me. He doesn’t come across as just angry, but hateful of the American majority.

    1. EXACTLY….. Trump’s MAGGOT ” speech” was RIGHT out of 1938 NAZI Germany !! SAME ROTTEN agenda…. just a different speaker and country !!

    2. Jo-Erlanf Schinstad
      Thing is you listen to the Repugnants an Fux Nubes and it’s the Dems an BLM protestors trying to destroy America. He did the same thing all through his election. Whenever he was accused of doing something wrong he’d turn round and blame Hillary of exactly the same thing. Remember the debate when he was sniffing passed himself an people accused him of being coked out his brains the next day he came out demanding him an Hillary should have a full medical because she doesn’t look fit to run for President. The point I’m making mate is all those fukn cultists believed every word he said no matter how ridiculous an the scary thing is a lot of them will do again

    3. @Michael Mc: I’m Norwegian. In 14 years, we’ll be celebrating the 1000 year anniversary of our BLM. We celebrate it every year on May 15th. We’ve celebrated it for hundreds of years. We started celebrating it before Columbus was born. Get off your high horse, man. Don’t you know you’re riding a squirrel? Oh. And the instigator of the BLM rebellion a thousand years ago in Norway, he’s now the patron saint of Oslo.

    1. @Never Again lol…good one. If you are interested on some info regarding barr working on invalidating elections in November for drump to become supreme dictator, check out Glenn Kirschner’s channel on here. It’s a good starting point to begin to see how deep and far the corruption has gotten. I hope I am wrong (thought Iwas once, but I was mistaken..lol 😉), I have felt since senate refused trial and barr declared him above the law that November elections will either be cancelled or rigged so badly (hence thier anger over mail in), or they would simply declare any loss invalid and refuse to leave. Looks like the last thing I thought they would do may well be the first, followed by martial law and possible civil war. He has been prepping his cult and citizen’s in general to accept whatever they do.

    2. @Never Again Same here. I love he also gives references on where to do your own investigating. Not to mention he is an eloquent speaker with obvious intelligence, integrity and patriotism. Trying to give hope when there is none. I fear america is doomed. The ppl won’t defend against him any more than they did during impeachment. Even being banned from most of the world didn’t get thier attention.

    1. @Rodolfo L. Roiz That scene sticks in my throat like a fishbone. It was one of those “wake up” moments when I realized this president was even worse than I thought.

    1. We already have one, it’s the cold civil war, declared by Moscow Mitch McConnell the night a black man was elected President.

  6. When is Putin moving in to the Whitehouse? He is the landlord, just using his tennant Chump to do his bidding.

    1. Putin have no desire to move into the white house he just wants to keep his puppet in .

    2. this is sport for Putin.
      Donny – Putin and the gang ARE NEVER GOING TO LET YOU INTO THEIR DICTATORS CLUB.
      you are just the fool of the day.

  7. Here is a man who wants another civil war. He wants to be a genuine wartime President but not internationally but nationally. Destroy the country from within, just a Putin asked him to.

    1. It really could happen, and there are so many willing to fight for this American dream that is being destroyed.

  8. There IS white resentment, and black resentment, and latino resentment, and Muslim resentment, and native American resentment, and Asian American resentment—we are united in that all of this is resentment against Donald Trump.

    1. Let pray all that Trump resentment translates into voting his butt out of office November 2020 in numbers that cannot be disputed!

  9. The second president of the Confederacy is addressing his base, the sons and daughters of the treasonous Confederacy.
    Our POTUS is a racist, period.

    1. Donald does not even believe his nonsense. He just knows that it is the easiest way to rally his ignorant mobs.

    2. @Nota Bene yup, in 2015 he said the Confederate statues should be in museums.
      The con of MAGA just may be Trump’s greatest con of all.

    3. Why don’t you guys do some research and look up “BLACK VOICES FOR TRUMP “ and quit believing the main stream media . This is a joke saying Trump is race baiting , the Democrats are always the ones bringing race into everything !!!! And it is not racist to love this country ! In the speech he gave at Mount Rushmore he spoke the truth about what the left is doing to this country , and I guess the truth hurts !! And BTW , for such a racist president he has given more to HBCU, more than any other president .. go ahead look it up , it’s there!!!! And he passed the first step act which his son in law worked on as well !!! NO OTHER ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE THAT !!!! Obama didn’t do it and he had 8 yrs !! So give me break and quit believing what these democrat news outlets shove at you relentlessly everyday !!!!!!!!!!

    4. ​@Trish Lyons Look up “JEWISH VOICES FOR ADOLF” and quit believing the main stream media .

    5. Nota Bene your a fool , did you even look it up ? It’s not made up . Trump does have black support . The democrat media will never show it , ever . There is no glory in not informing yourself .
