ANALYSIS: Trump's presidency is sinking into crisis — but he may still be re-elected

after the death of a black man, George Floyd, who was shown on video gasping for breath as a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck.

COVID-19 and Minneapolis may very well form the nexus within which the 2020 campaign will unfold. Trump's critics have assailed his handling of both and questioned whether he can effectively lead the country in a moment of crisis.The death of George Floyd has sparked the latest flashpoint in American racial politics and makes this presidential campaign potentially one of the most incendiary in history.As the incumbent, Trump certainly faces the most immediate challenges.

People wait for a distribution of masks and food in the Harlem neighbourhood of New York. More than 100,000 people have died from coronavirus in the US.

Shows just what a sick, corrupt, oppressive society America is. Liberty, Fraternity and the Persuit of Happiness...my arse!

God I hope this arsehole doesn't get reelected

There is no doubt that he will be re-elected. So many Americans do not believe the news.

What rot. Can AlanKohler please provide a graph as to ‘negative mentions’ by ABC of world leaders?

I don't know how it's 'The Trump' presidency when it's all the Democrat led states and cities that are rioting and refusing to shut them down. In fact, TRUMP had to threaten to call the national guard for them before they would take action. GET IT RIGHT! FakeNews

And the Gold Logie for unbiased journalism goes to their 'leftist taxpayer parasite' the ABC 4 straight year's of negative commentary against President Trump. Congratulations👏👏👏👏

Well, we can't expect much from a nation of people who not only point firearms at their own genitals to demonstrate gun safety, but post pictures of themselves doing so.

A crisis that the left created especially woke leftist MSM like the biased ABC here and in the US

Prior to COVID lowest black unemployment in 20 years under Trump around 3.5% Under Obama worst black unemplyment in 20 years around 8%

I sincerely hope you are 100% wrong.

Trump. The man that fucked up America

bunkerboy is a coward and a fake, he cannot be allowed to win. Impeach again.

Why crisis? It’s the Democrat run cities that are burning.

It’s not just him who runs the country. He’s a puppet. Look closely and you will see he represents a myriad of evil- from the US military all the way to Murdoch, he’s propped up by entrenched deceit and lies all the way up the greasy pole of right wing American politics.

We can only hope he's re-elected. Democrats and their domestic terrorist arm, ANTIFA are no viable alternative.

'May' still get elected? The ENTITLED money loving brain dead neanderthal Trump D!k suckers WhiteHouse will make SURE he does. Because regular tax-paying, bill-paying, American workers have NO voice! realDonaldTrump, PROVE ME WRONG!!!!

Bullshit😡

If the USA was a person they would have an intervention by now to prevent further harm to self and others...

Fake news.

What has any of this police brutality and rioting got to do with Trump?

The Left are currently burning the country to the ground. They should never be allowed in seats of power ever again

Trump is not creating the crisis.

How on earth can the racist pig survive this year? If he does get back in, then shame on the USA...

This is a terrible article. What is Lynch trying to spin with with 'Trump may not have healed racial tensions in the US during his presidency. But, like coronavirus, he did not cause them.'? This is sooo much like an SkyNewsAust opinion piece -

The DeepState will spin it anyway they can. AntifaTerrorists Trump2020VictoryNowMoreThanEver

I fixed it ' but he may or may not still be re-elected'

Who writes this 🐂💩.. MURDOCH

Imagine hating a guy so much you actively root for crisis and the destruction of a whole country as long as the byproduct is politically damaging to tbem

Can the ABC report the news without making political statements. Just cannot help yourselves.

“Analysis”

fk off

Russia and China are heavily invested in the US decline. Expect them to fund his supporters well.

TrumpLandslide2020 He is not in crisis - I believe that he is in total control and has been from day 1

There will be no election. They are beginning a civil war.

'Their' ABC is getting worse but I'm not sure they realise it.

Not reading this. Analysis is futile. They’re heading towards civil war currently

If he gets another term then I really have to wonder what the fuck is wrong with American democracy.

He’s a guarantee for 2020

Fuckin each way abc...at least they have learnt something...gee they are piss weak

It's the opposition causing all the shit

More now then ever. You think these rioters are married with kids? After this is over Democrat run states that have been protecting these vigilante groups won't be re elected. Weak run leftist states don't make family's feel safer. Gun control debate just got crushed instantly.

FourMoreYears smart people realise these riots are staged!

ABC with its usual crock of shit

Trump paedophile ring exposed! Big cover up! Trump and Clinton’s involved in massive global paedophile ring! Taxpayer money used for cover up!

That's an oxymoron

ABC, you are full of it.

Let’s hope not!!!

FakeNewsAlert The globalists are sending in their AntifaTerrorists In a last ditch attempt to overthrow a dually elected president of the United States because the Plandemic has failed

The only thing sinking into crisis will be the ABC when you get defunded you left wing Muppets.

Not unless Americans are completely stupid & into self sabotage.

And if he is elected again, the citizens of the US deserve everything they get from that mad man...

PORTABLEAIRSYD Greatest President who ever lived. Once the Deep State Dems and the corrupt media get out of the way, the future of the whole world will be glorious.

It's not may, it is he will be and watching you lefties head explode will be worth it.

Australia for trump 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

By a landslide! WWG1WGA Trump2020 ObamaGate

PRESIDENT TRUMP will be 4 more years... the people are sick of you fake news and hatred towards America

Sorry ABC, Trump was still odds on favourite last time I checked the betting markets.

The only thing sinking into crisis is the ABCs integrity. Your news is nothing more than left wing biased elitist rubbish. Trump 2020.

God no

He hasn’t ever really been president. Sorry, he’s maybe president of one of his own golf clubs, but even that would be a bit beyond him. Sorry, realDonaldTrump

WILL BE

FakePresident

Americans & the World was watching & we saw punks, thugs, anarchists hurting & killing hard working people, setting serious fires & looting everywhere & NOW BURNING DOWN A CHURCH ACROSS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE! It's all over for the Dems! PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL WIN BY A LANDSLIDE!!

He doesn’t deserve to be re-elected!

State crisis and yes he will win in a land slide, most US citizens know what’s really happening

If this guy is re-elected then America deserves him.

Sinking? It was sunk before he was inaugurated. It was sunk as soon as he thought it was legitimate. So was Amerika.

Wake up, it’s a world wide crisis, and you bet he’s gonna get re-elected. Just wait. George is very much alive......

Crap fake news

ElaineM11584892 Even if he gets out of the White House alive you really think he will be able to go anywhere in public without strong backlash? Reads like a fluff piece designed to paint Trump's presidency as a series of unfortunate events reducing everything to a basic 'but he didn't cause it'.

Says Who? Oh it’s a bunch of socialist journalists from a 100% government funded media organisation.

Oh please no! 🤦‍♀️

ABC's credibility takes another dive. The Deep State are in crisis as all their High Crimes are being exposed. Looking forward to watching their treason trials on Court TV. I wonder if the ABC will televise them? ObamaGate

The leftist narrative and now the riots all but guarantee 4 more years..

Poor ABC not working is it, well I’m Tellinya it’s comiming and there’s nothing the delusional ABC can do about it

Miracle do happen just like with Morrison election. This day’s commonsense and people’s votes and wishes don’t count, because we live in the world of greed, lies, corruption, propaganda and dishonesty where ever we turn, politics, corporations and every profession- money talks

He will win in a landslide

B.S.

The ChinaVirus & Mass hysteria & lawlessness are the crisis and both are primarily the responsibility of State governments.

It's not a Democracy.

DESPERATE DONALD THE TRUMP TERRORIST.

Why do you say this?

Agree with most of the article. I mean, his presidency is an unmitigated disaster, for the US and the world. But Biden is an exceptionally weak opponent. And, to make it worse, Americans have a tendency to re-elect proven idiots. Remember 2004?

fucking abc the communist station have opinion

Large scale violence and property destruction will push voters towards a strong leader (not a senile, old, hair sniffer). AntifaTerrorists

At your expense

This is the same ABC who predicted Hillary by a landslide...

Fuck no!

Nooooooooo

Half of the country is full of hate, why would anyone else win?

Oh horror...

It’s time people in Australia do a stack of research on Operation Mockingbird so they can learn what the true purpose of the media worldwide is. Hint: it’s not to keep you truthfully informed.

Lies again ABC. Affiliating with Antifa isn’t going to bode well for you! Hopefully you’ll be charged for promoting a terrorist group.

You only wish.

When Trump goes it will be an end of an error

If he wins again, then Americans deserve him

Oh that’s just click bait. Get serious

It's not his Presidency sinking into crisis. It's the opposition losers infliction destruction on the nation!

What Makes you think that is Scomo asking yous to say that?

There's not a snow flakes chance in hell trump will be re elected. He's proven to be the most pathetic, dishonest & devsive president the US has ever had to endure.

Of course he will be re-elected a small minority causing havoc & the media on their side will not achieve the results they are so wishing for -decent hard- working citizens hate anarchy & domestic terrorism - this is NOT about George Floyd!

BunkerDon is done like dinner. He will lose (as will the 'Republicans' in a landslide for JoeBiden.

Surely not. The USA will be sunk if that happens.

40 m unemployed. 100 k dead Police murdering civlians Cities in flames Laughing stock of the world Friend of dictators Alienate allies Why wouldn't you vote for Trump!

Well yes, he only has himself to blame for that.

I feel like there is change coming. Trump may not be to blame for recent events, but he’s responsible for the way a leader is suppose to be governing it. Yet his house is full of chaos, unpredictability & inarticulation. Having said that - it all comes down to the electoral vote

Re-elected ? Hope he gets past this week first.,

It's time u guys in Australia made it a greater place. The rest of us will stop looking upto US and coming your way as a new moral and greater power. But sorry, u also rely a lot on the US and The Beijing guys

Hell to the no.

Dog help them & us

It’s sinking but he maybe re elected - this makes no sense AT ALL ridiculous headline!

What an apologist opinion piece this is.. Frek

Not until a Constitutional Convention (Article V) is convened. Karen Hudes votes the 17% shares of the US on the Board of Governors of the World Bank and IMF until the US Constitution of 1789 goes back into effect. K.H. now speaks for the other members of the Board of Governors

Heartbreakingly true. 😔

Just indicate how Stupid Americans are

More taxpayer funded propaganda. How long do we have to put up with this? The people know the truth. We call your lies every time. Enough is enough ScottMorrisonMP ItaButtrose. Not a shred of truth about the Russia Hoax, Impeachment, SpyGate etc. You are the EnemyOfThePeople

*Will* still be re-elected.

It appears to this non-American following much reading of all reports that POTUS has delivered many self inflicted wounds.

TrumpResignNow TrumpsJealousOfObama TrumpResignNow

What a disgraceful”analysis” . The issue is leftist thugs. Antifa are the problem and are using the poor black man’s death as a reason to make America burn. The likes of Readings here sell the Antifa handbook - those that hate the west are now rising.

Lift up your game ABC and stop spreading hate.

It's inevitable.

Hahaha you’re insane, not one trump supporter has raped murdered burnt rioted or looted anything this week, of course he will be re-elected Antifa and the rest of the far left radicals just handed him the presidency on a plate with their communist grab for power 😡

ABC has Trump derangement syndrome

God help the world if he is, WW iii will be the result.

America is sinking, the inmates are taking over,total anarchy,

As thick as he is , he knows when he lose he in all the trouble in the world his dreams are finished, no more smoke and mirrors

Whenever I worry about the state of things in Australia I just have to turn towards the U.S. for a reminder that things can be much much worse

Well that headline is an instant turn off.

Sadly Joe Biden does not know what is going on.

More FakeNews from the tax payer funded propaganda machine ....

You think the riots are bad now...

Trump's inalienable base is 35-37%, the other 10-12% were disaffected with all political elites, dissallusioned with Obama failure, and hoped a biz man would clean out the beltway. They didn't and won't vote for 100,000 dead, 40,000,000 out of work and militia in the streets.

Congratulations, Americans.

America may actually be safer if he’s re-elected. If he loses he’ll declare the election rigged, call in bikers, rednecks, gun nuts and of course the Klansmen - it will be true civil war.

After this? By any measurement he is unelectable. What promise can he make to them now? They are protesting en masse, they are unemployed, they are poorer, disenfranchised, diseased. All on his watch. And you click-bait his winning again? How low does the bar have to get?

Who’s your analyst? I want an apology and for him/her to be fired

'What do you have to lose by trying something new, like Trump? He will repeat this mantra in the coming months'. oh FFS not possible - America tried him for 4 years and he is $hit. Like contemporary journalism

This article repeats the myth that Trump is a good campaigner - a 'ferocious campaigner'. This is garbage. Given a willingness to forget their humanity and sackfuls of cash, anybody could appeal to the hateful and scared as he does. What's harder is selling a positive vision.

I give Trump a 90% chance of re-election. Thank the democrats for picking Biden instead of Sanders.

Nope. It's over.

Incredible how this whole article was written without mentioning 100000 dead US covid victims. You really didn't factor that in to your analysis huh bud..

Orange Mussolini might declare marshall law turning the army on its own people and permanently postpone elections.

America is sinking into crisis... whoever gets elected will have big problems.

No it’s not fakenews. You won’t win ABC.

never learns. Just got to keep up the sharade untill the bitter end and it will be the most bitter.

How about more ANALYSIS and less wishful thinking.

yeah I would vote for him

Well, probably yes, because people have seen the Democrats, CNN, etc fanning racial tension for four years and now have the audacity to blame the current race riots on Trump. A lot of people see this, and it has turned them off the political left for at least the next two decades

FAILURE on his watch!! OBAMA was a much better PREZ.!!👎🤪😡🤪👎🤠

100% he will be reelected.

how could any sane person even consider voting for such a messed-up narcissist? his presidency isn't sinking into crisis, it has sunk.

Fake fucking news. Keep trying.

Can I still trust the ABC to deliver an unbiased point of view, or is this what Murdoch wants you to say?

ABC is relentlessly attempting to be 'Australia's CNN' virtually on a daily basis. Appalling 'journalism' conduct! It doesn't take genius to figure out that the 'protest' in US, is now deliberate violence provocation exploited as a political ploy to cause maximum civil mayhem.

Trump will be re-elected by the 48% of Americans who believe that Covid-19 is a tracking bot constructed by Bill Gates and propagated through 5-G towers.

God help us all if he is.. He is a bombastic egomaniac and is extremely dangerous... this man is a loose cannon to the free world.. he needs to go now.. There has to be a higher power that can take over due to total incompetentance and save America..

IT'S A SET UP, SOMEONE IN THE DUMBCRATS IS ORGANISING THIS, WELL IT WONT WORK WE ALL STAND BY TRUMP YOU MEDIA MORONS,, RUSSIA DID'NT WORK, THEN IMPEACHMENT DID'NT WORK, NOW RIOTS IT WONT WORK, ALL DONE BY DEMOCRATS

MAGA whathappenedtoCOVID

'...decades of Democratic policies in Minnesota — including the eight years of the Obama administration — have caused Minneapolis to be one of the most racially unequal cities in the nation.' ...so true ABC...not sure how the truth managed to slip through ABC editorial processes

Lol, y'all aren't very good at analyzing are you Dems and the 'Left side' of politics will have a decade in the wilderness thanks to these Antifa dickheads.

How's it sinking?

He’ll lose the election, say it was rigged, take the results to court, and win.

Even his big Twitter supporters are turning on him now. The dying days of the Trump presidency.

These democrat run cities are the responsibility of the democrats but...

No ABC arse-wipes, he will be overwhelmingly re-elected

Pray God not! For the sake of America and the world!

To conflicting statements. Which one is true? Sounds like ministry of truth speak.

God bless Donald Trump. MAGA 🇺🇸

Whose side are you on?

Of course he will, this is playing right into his hands....and the democrats dont even understand that.

seriously you guys are great 😂😂😂

He has inserted so much hatred and friction into the American people. I predict there will be total chaos when the election comes. And that even if he doesn’t get re-elected, it will still take a long time for America to be reunited again.

Delusional as always. You idiots seem to have no idea that AntifaDomesticTerrorists just handed Trump another 4 years. No question. 'He may still be re-elected.' Gosh, you're funny. auspol Trump2020VictoryNowMoreThanEver riots2020

Not him rioting and looting. Yes he may.

Wish the Dems picked a better candidate...

Bad guys always win because they cheat.

This sounds like a job for “Supa Clive” - spreads bullshit with a single bound!

Exactly what was your plan. However, what you didn't count on is that you may come out of this damaged and worse than before

Yes as we can see there are still lots of idiots in the e USA

Rubbish! Biden2020Landslide TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER and Americans know it and will vote accordingly.... you can’t hide TrumpDeathToll92K

I'm not sure if even Donald could handle 4 more years of himself.

Yes, the longer these riots go on the more votes for Trump. Demoncrats over played their hand again and have lost control of the narrative.

Trump's the best candidate they've got

Biden is senile and may have a massive stroke before November.

ABC ARE SINKING INTO THE DEOTHS, BAD BAD BIAS TREASON IST REPORTING INCITING ANGER, HATE, PUT A BLANKET OVER MEDIA, STOP THE MEDIA REPORTING, MEDIA HATE THE POLICE FORCE. MEDIA ARE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM, TRYING TO KILL A PRESIDENT, PROSECUTE THE MEDIA

And the sun will still rise the following day

We keep re-electing the bad guys in Australia too

2020 part 1,003

Another 4 years of him OMG.

There is only 1 way he will be re elected. That is if the dirty tricks campaign to suppress voter turn out is successful! It is Biden's to lose.

Interestingly, it’s the states who are in charge, unless they call in the federal government. Blame should be laid accordingly.
