The Trump White House and campaign are leaning into social unrest in Kenosha, Wis., and Portland, Ore., as the president’s most potent case for reelection, viewing the violence as a pivotal opportunity to tighten the race and quickly gain ground on Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
The Trump orbit intends to keep hammering its emerging law-and-order message on Tuesday when Trump visits Kenosha, the city where a white police officer recently shot a Black 29-year-old, Jacob Blake, in the back seven times in front of his three children, ages 3 to 8. Since that shooting, violence has plagued the city — from arson to looting to an armed white vigilante accused of killing two people during a protest.
In Kenosha, the president plans to meet with local law enforcement and business owners and examine the damage from recent riots. Trump said he does not plan to meet with Blake’s family. Many aides believe zeroing in on public safety is a winning message in key swing states such as Wisconsin and among key demographic groups including suburban, female and independent voters.
“The president’s tweets suggest he is not going to Kenosha to be a hero,” said presidential historian Timothy Naftali. “Donald Trump has signaled that he wants to politicize the anger in our streets and the question in this election is whether Americans would prefer, as they used to prefer, a candidate who seeks to calm the streets or who can look for a middle way.”

IT'S MAJOR CHANGE UP TIME! Any place or any time you protest, make sure you do it peacefully! You need to think and act faster than the 'TRUMP AGITATORS' do. Make sure at all times that news reporters only see 'Trump people' causing all the trouble. JUST GET UP & WALK AWAY!
He was able to stop the violence when the governor FINALLY let him come to help.
President Trump going to Wis is NOT political. As President, it is his duty to visit cities in stress. Stop with the BS reporting.
An incredible photo...it is classic and clearly defines the summer of 2020.
Yes, because it's not as if he hasn't been in charge for the last four years. So, if you like what's happening bow, stick with Trump.
'Yes, look how crummy things are, re-elect me!!!' If folks fall for that garbage reasoning, then this nation deserves its fate.
Trump America is violent. Joe Biden for President.
