Trump doesn’t unify well. Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images After months of a deadly pandemic, weeks of economic catastrophe, and days of rage in the streets, America is in dire need of unifying inspiration. It’s the sort of thing presidents have on occasion supplied, and some are looking to the 45th president of the United States expecting a Big Speech or an equivalent gesture.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has been pushing for the president to deliver a formal address to the nation to emphasize his support for law and order and police officers, a familiar trope for the Republican Party and one that typically plays well with its base.
And so at a time when so many people crave gestures of peace and unity, Trump’s instincts are quite naturally to lurk in the White House probing civic wounds for political opportunity on Twitter, figuring out how to approach the latest national crisis in a way that will somehow show that we are “transitioning to greatness” again despite the powerful forces seeking to deny him a second term.
