How did we get here? The core story of US politics over the past four decades is that wealthy elites weaponised white racism to gain political power, which they used to pursue policies that enriched the already wealthy at workers' expense.Until Trump's rise it was possible – barely – for people to deny this reality with a straight face. At this point, however, it requires willful blindness not to see what's going on.
So what has Trump really offered to the white working class that makes up most of his base? Basically, he has provided affirmation and cover for racial hostility.If economic self-interest were the only thing driving political orientation, you would expect police officers to favour Democrats. They are, after all, unionised public-sector employees – and Republicans are both anti-union and anti-government.
But many police officers and their unions remain staunch Trump supporters, and they have been pretty clear about why: They feel that Trump will back them even, or perhaps especially, if they engage in abusive behaviour towards racial minorities. In a call with governors on Monday, he showed no sign of recognising either that there might be some justification for widespread protests or that he should play some role in unifying the nation. Instead, he told the governors that all the violence was coming from the "radical left", and he insisted that governors must get tougher: "You have to dominate or you'll look like a bunch of jerks; you have to arrest and try people.
If Baden became US president if would be disastrous because he and his son are corrupted and have interests in the Communist China!
Fake news only terrifying in your eyes
Shit bag
More bullshit from once of the best bullshiters in the business
Globalist media and Democrats incite civil war! Slave owning Democrats started their first civil war in 1861. They failed then too!
'Close to inciting CivilWar'..? EVERY word coming from Trump is hate filled & inciting Americans to violence. Surely the greater than 108,000 USDEATHS from his ineffective handling of pandemic is enough for the time being Why cause more? RemoveTrumpFromOffice NOW!!!
Rioters must be dealt with strongly. There is no point in coddling the vandals and looters.
Just waiting for his white supremacy mates to come out with their guns to help trump
I thought this man could not stoop lower, be more confronting, divisive, arrorant, offensive, insensative or more inhumane. I am speechless. I have said a prayer on his behalf for the Floyd family i am so stunned.
'overwhelmingly peaceful protests' - what a load of trash this article is! Look at this 'peaceful protest' this evening in NY: looting of a Louis Vuitton store happens at the 6 minute mark. Shame - shame on you for publishing this biased artcile
Trump, making America great! NOT
How sick is the SMH Your the ones trying to make everything worse 'The fake news the enemy of the people' POTUS
Black Lives Matter Hmm Black protesters attack business owned by Black people Protesters on twitter “kill all cops” Hmm all Cops black & white
You have sunk to a new low now. Paul Krugman is under investigation for having CHILD PORNOGRAPHY on his computer. We 👀 U scum
'Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.' is nothing more than another example of MSM doing what they do best ...
Morrison's silence diminishes Australia. Democratic nations must call out Trump's misuse of democracy's tools. If not, Democracy as the will of the People over the State, is diminished globally offering no alternative to dictators, theocrats, and monarchists. auspol
paulkrugman is a supporter of Obama and it is no doubt that he is talking this bullshit. I think it is good to understand who is standing with AntifaTerrorists and the radical left so realDonaldTrump can seek and destroy the traitor.
50 states. How many are protesting? Out of the states protesting what percentage? Out of the protesters who hold candles and who are running home with shopping bags?
DONALD IS DOING A EXCELLENT JOB THE OTHER SIDE WOULD BE STILL SITTING ON THEIR HANDS AS USUAL
ashleyandheckle Bring Russia in?
I call it, 'rule of law'.
Does George Soros own you aswell as channel 9? We know what your agenda is. Stop lying and spewing your propaganda.
Just amazes me how our Australian news on twitter is under attack from USA troll propaganda bots. Look at the comments they come from USA trolls. No one is allowed to question America even on twitter.
Trump is such a drop kick.
He truly thinks he is invincible.
Who holds a Bible like that? Someone who obviously doesn't read it or have reverence for it... Look at realDonaldTrump 's face and body language. Doesn't it remind you of Herr Hitler?
How can he win? If he does -do we want a relationship with a country who elects him?
So the Ferguson Race Riots under Obama was what?
Have a look at this thread and other MSM posts, doesn't take a genius to work out what the media are trying to do
The tangerine bible salesman is one scary fella
Then tell the halfwits in sections of our media not to endorse his actions and yes they are part of your stable at Channel9 and their radio stations
Need strength not apologists for the criminal element .
👈🏻
Opinion. Let the American patriots win it for Trump.. He has stirred the wasp nest, going solo against corruption, fake news and pedo rings, they must be really desperate to risk destroying their country just to get him out of power, they are scared..
Leftist media
I don’t think he is trying to calm them..
Indeed, and for no other reason than it makes him feel good, and may improve his election chances!
it is the Democrat /Soros funded ANTIFA who are pouring that fuel !!!!!!!!!!!
Trump - 'Uses and Abuses' Trust, the Bible, Houses of Worship, Religion. Trump - drains the 'TRUST' given to Religion by it's Followers, and draws that Trust towards himself. Trump - stands before Camera's using Props and Rhetoric that Religious Trust. It's a Marketing CON.
JaneCaro Seriously what happened to social distancing? Disappeared just like that! All these people looting and demonstrating shoulder to shoulder....will there be the inevitable spike?
It seems he is trying his best to make sure that he would be the last president of the country as of now known as the United States of America!!!
The rioting is in Democrat states. Trump will not lose any votes.
nytimes left wing columnist praises dementia sufferer JoeBiden , condemns patriot POTUS . And of course idiots at pile on. Thankfully not taxpayer funded. Now let's talk theirABC .
The opposition, CCP (pot calling kettle black?), even Singapore first lady and Australian media are saying Trump handled it the ' wrong' way. Didn't hear any of them telling us the ' right' way at the time. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Can't please all..all of the time
So sorry for this I hope they are all right, and not seriously hurt. As an American, I am highly embarrassed about this incident.
Wow, this is journalistic malpractice.
Big bad Trumpy gets my knickers in a hot knot! reeeeeeee okkaren
It’s the media’s take on his actions. Media have much to answer for.
Is that the back of the bible? I think he would be stupid enough to do that.
I actually live here and Americans want the stealing, setting things on fire and beating of elderly women who are just protecting stores, to stop.
Holding a bible he has never read.
you should blame democrats for attempting a coup
Picture of a church looter
MSM is the last place to get news from. Relentless time wasters.
I'm confused....his supporters are causing the violence?....why are the believeallcelebrities and TheDemocrats then bailing them out....you got serious TDS bra!
And with the election coming up do you think he’ll let up? His campaigns are based on inciting hatred and rivalry.
JaneCaro I am Sorry Mr. President but YOU have lost my support.
Karma
Is bronzer flammable? I'm hoping so.
Abc Left of Left
He has zero idea of what to do
It's what government does best. Know your enemy. GovernmentIsTheVirus PoliticiansAreTheVirus MSMIsTheVirus YourGovernmentDespisesYouAndWantsYouDead AllLivesMatter
Trump killed 100 thousand Americans due to criminal negligence with covid19 and now wonts to kill more Americans using American solders. So trump has created a war between China, a war on climate, and now war on his fellow Americans.
Great article! 👏👏👏
MOCKINGBIRD MEDIA HAS BEEN REPLACED. Nice try SMH but if i don't buy you paper why would i want you here. We are the news now. Trump wins. Learn the codes. Q
God save America! Is Trump in the pay of Russia or China? Incredibly stupid man who is now very dangerous.
Trump will be fine if he gets elected again. If he fails, his whole family will disappear on earth. For him, the upcoming election could give him another 4 years to figure out how to save himself, if he can
TRUMP I N C A P A B L E of L E A D E R S H I P USES THREATS AND ESCALATES VIOLENCE ! BlackLivesMatter 💔🙏❤🕊 TrumpsCivilWar TrumpsJealousOfObama TrumpGate TrumpOut2020
That's last sentence about what will happen if Trump looks like losing or does lose the election, terrifying.
Either that or he's installing himself as dictator. We have the sense that he WANTS to see blood spilled though, that he'd get sadistic pleasure out of it.
How much is CN sponsoring this ad?
He opened an immediate federal investigation into the death of George Floyd. He's the only president who committed to and passed criminal justice reform. He created more job opportunities for minorities than any other president. He will stop the violence. Media fuels the fire.
Come on Trump, you can do it! China wants you to do 🇨🇳
He’s a fool. Every life matters, he just doesn’t get it. It’s time he stepped down.
We have the greatest president on the face of the earth president Donald Trump🙏✌️❤️🇺🇸👍🎩
So Trump hides in a bunker while the Whitehouse is threatened & the church outside is set on fire, he's ridiculed for being a coward. The next day, he uses force to try to restore order, and he's now a despot trying to incite civil war. Which is it?
Your biased opinion.
More MSM brainwashing. TRUMP did not cause a thing ...a policeman in a DEMOCRAT city killed a man on the ground by sitting on his neck. The protests are one thing but the riots are bought & paid for & the LOOTERS have a green light from the authorities. See ANTIFA. FAKENEWS
The media always accuse others of what they are doing.
Your terrified by a man holding a Bible...?😳...ok...😳
That’s the story of the Trump presidency really. He’s a divider not a leader. Possibly the worst kind in these times.
really? remember Scott Morrison blaming everything on immigrants of color here at home. anyone else see any dots to join?
What the left are doing now?
BlackLivesMatter RacistInChief TrumpDictatorship
How is he close to a Civil war? What did he do?
