Pres. Trump’s controversial comments mark the latest example of the president choosing to stoke long standing racial divides rather than trying to comfort a hurting community, a reality at odds with his campaign’s effort to court black voters.

The president posted the same message on Facebook, but the social media platform decided not to intervene.’s controversial comments suggesting looters in Minneapolis be shot and calling protesters “thugs” marks the latest example of the president choosing to stoke long standing racial divides rather than trying to comfort a hurting community, a reality at odds with his campaign’s effort to court black voters.

In late-night tweets, which Twitter flagged for “glorifying violence,” the president smeared protesters as “thugs,” threatened to use military force to “assume control,” and said “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” echoing a phrase first used by a Miami police chief that civil rights groups have widely condemned.

“The facts show that the President expressed horror over the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and ordered the Department of Justice to get involved. When riots erupted in that city and elsewhere, he warned on Twitter that looting could quickly turn into violence,” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the White House Friday night to protest Floyd's killing and the president's response, and amid boiling conflict Trump took to Twitter and goaded the protesters writing that if the demonstration had escalated,"that’s when people would have been really badly hurt"—threatening to sick the"most vicious dogs" and turn the"most ominous weapons" against them, even seeming to revel in the idea that"many Secret Service agents...

And as protests rage over Floyd's killing, which many Americans decry as the latest example of police brutality against African Americans, the president's history of urging law enforcement to use excessive force is facing renewed scrutiny. During a 2017 speech to law enforcement officers, the president urged against protecting the heads of suspected gang members when putting them in police cars.

President Donald Trump walks to Marine One after speaking to the press before departing the White House, on May 30, 2020, in Washington, DC.And following the president’s lead, the campaign had remained on the sidelines for days as Floyd's death sparked mass condemnation, including by presumptive Democratic nomniee Joe Biden, and devastated and took an emotional toll on the black community they are working to court.

All the President Trump supporters say, it's the media fault that he is racist. Its not blind when you refuse to open your eyes to see. You just ignorant and ignore the truth. MBC D

Joe Biden unleashed the greatest insult against blacks in America and him and his party has used Mr Floyd's death to stoke tensions as a cover up silencing the building tempo against Biden and his incredible gaffe. This won't work. We will soon come back to this racist Biden.

Let’s face it, this man is mentally ill. Everyone knows it so why do so many people support him. Is it a joke? Do they feel he’s entertaining and enjoy a good laugh ? But at what cost? Degrading the office If President or/ and our country? He’s not funny anymore. He’s dangerous.

BIDEN 2020

Slowly slowly reaching his destiny point, in heaven to meet his second soul wating for him,just like gone with the wind movie

Again Donald Trump

It matters who we elect president.

1.3 million African Americans voted for trump. Your news is so slanted. Your job is to stay neutral . How about Obama gate? Can you report that? Or how about Biden is bailing out people who are arrested for being violent and looting? Can you report the whole truth?

You call this news Ridiculous!!!!

There is no race issue here there are human race issues. Thank you President Trump for speaking as a strong world leader and for all you do for our country and all her law abiding citizens

No leadership.... just an ignorant racist who is unfit to be potus.

We are angry. Middle class poor ppl are abused, neglected, and taxed & represented by corrupt, lying politicians. We live in a police state that discriminates and murders ppl of color. School kids are shot in class. The American Dream is now a nightmare from which we must wake.

Why do we keep looking for this fool to comfort anyone. He’s a narcissist; ‘comfort’ and ‘empathize’ are not in his vocabulary.

It’s because he’s a Nazi his name is not trump the family change the name German dissent and he depicts the attitude of Nazism BAD

The blacks have made this country so crazy that they're out there running rapping up and down the street like crazy animals. When is it going to stop, how much craziness can the blacks create before somebody starts shooting them. It's getting close.

Destruction and putting residents' lives in danger is not the way to get appropriate attention.

he is NOT stoking this issue. You are delusional to think so. Stop protecting THUGS. Yes, THUGS!! You vandalize, steal you are labeled as a THUG. They have lost the purpose of the protest.

Lies

He tweets his bullshit, then HIDES from reporters

don-the-con trump IS NOT: a lawyer, teacher, compassionate, minister, doctor, ex-military, historian, scientist, literate, benefactor, honest, tax payer, trustworthy, a loyal husband, psychologist, nor physic.

Media stokes divides can’t trust the media its propaganda

You millennials better wake up. The baby boomers run this country. Trump tells like it is and what everyone in his era thinks.

Fake news

President realDonaldTrump has totally lost his mind. His verbal rants on Twitter freeze me. And when I tell myself that he is the President of the United States of America, I tremble with fear. This man is insane and dangerous. Get him out of the White House, please 😞

FAKE NEWS. THIS IS ALL ON YOU.

President is not,it’s the Mainstream media always stoking left wing radical racist reporting.

Don't you have some fake 'syrian' war footage to show (Kentucky gun range)

You guys are lying POSs and what’s wrong with this country.

You're the virus

Oh that’s so sad ...

black people will vote for trump nevertheless.

This is total evil news. How can anyone with a half a brain believe anything reported on ABC. RESEARCH for yourself.

You aren't going to save the black vote with your latest lies. Black Americans are Wakingup to the fact that MSM is destroying this country on orders from your globalist leaders. Election2020 is going to be the LANDLIDIEST LANDSLIDE that ever LANDSLIDED. MAGA2020

Lol

Yes blame 400 years of white and black hatred on Trump - Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton, Obama did nothing for blacks - except take their votes

It is shocking how bad the press is today! Obama was a hero by ABC for calling Baltimore looters “thugs” and now ABC is against Trump for calling action against Minneapolis thugs! Wow. Too many hypocrisy by ABC and Democrats!

Trump 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

No one is falling for your BS anymore. MSM is done.

🖕🏻

Go to hell. You’re nothing but a communist mouthpirce’

Everyone is waking up to your leftist agenda push, and you have fewer and fewer sheeple as an audience everyday. The deep state is the disease to America, and blue voters at this point are traitors to America

Who says he wanted black voters? White Supremacists, KKK, Nazis... can't have both... Did ABC News forget his loyalists? Stop playing us... you are not that dumb!!

There were no controversial comments...and everyone breaking the law will be held accountable for their actions...the fake news and deep state lost their manufactured crisis of covid narrative, so now they must pay actors to riot and cause division.

🤮🤮🤮

I’m pretty sure the black business owners who had their lives destroyed by rioters agree with the President. ABC Fake News is an Antifa sympathizer. ABC Fake News is the Enemy of the American People.

More Lies from Bull Shit News !

This is fake news trump ordered the fbi to investigate way before the mayor of Minneapolis acted

The media is the one stoking racial divide. We are all tired of it.

He speaks his mind. Many people feel like he does.

The death of ABC News in real time.

Says the 'news organization' that buried the Epstein story for 3 years, then convinced a sister network to fire a person who went to a sister network under false pretenses for leaking the story

MSM FakeNews the only one being comforted and aided is ANTIFA EnemyCombatants aid and comfort from YOU ABCNews!!! Your propaganda is literally killing innocent people and ruining the country. ABCNews EnemyOfAmerica WeAreTheNewsNow

This guys is stupid he needs to be taken back Collage maybe after being their he will learn how to emotional people

ABC enemy of the all the people. POTUS has made great strides in unifying all law abiding citizens of every race. That is who he has made America great again for. You on the other hand divide us for a evil political agenda.

FakeNewsMedia Fraud HidEpstein

ABC you are pathetic

Fuck you. There I said it

This from abc the same station that used a video from a Kentucky gun range and claimed it was 'slaughter in Syria'

You are truly sickening You are the enemy Right inside our homes ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE ENOUGH ALREADY

ABC...you will have to given an account to the Lord for having prostituted yourselves to your corporate pimps who own you in exchange for deceiving and blatantly lying to the World! Is it really worth selling yourself to the Devil! I think not!

Why don't all the rioters and looters return the shit they stole?

ABC news sucks, it’s fake and it is the enemy of all of us!

You ABC, are the Enemy of the People

You are fake news

You are the enemy of the people.

abcnews you are the enemy of the people

ANTIFA is the KKK. ANTIFA is supported by liberals, holly wood and the media. George Soros owns all of it.

BS that’s on you!

Fake news killthemockingbirdMedia

FakeNews nobody needs you liar anymore...

Lying enemy of the people.

The media works for the same people ANTIFA work for. Time to replace all of ABC and throw them in prison.

So full of crap. When he talked about 'thugs' he meant ANTIFA. Since all the looters are arrested from out of state, it's obvious ANTIFA was being flown in to riot. Trump's tweet today proved that's what he meant, when he declared ANTIFA a terror group. So much for your boys.

YOU ARE THE EnemyOfThePeople

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱TDS

This is your opionion not a fact nor news

What “controversial comments”, exactly?

No quote in the headline. Just opinions from liberal news. What floor is abc on how many armed security officers were guarding your building. Yeah that’s right chicken shits

We can get things worked together out! Sending prayers to Our Country and President!!

We are long overdue for change when it comes to the rights of minorities. Make your voice heard. Demand legislation to hold law enforcement accountable. It’s time for real Justice for all.

And you are fake news.

Just let him continue to dribble down his leg, come nov 3 this hellish nightmare will be over.

He doesn’t know how to comfort. He only can complain, spew, politicize, rail, whinge, make fun of, denigrate, name call, stiff and/or sue. Why would anyone look to him for comfort?

His statement that MAGA lives black people showed that he truly does not consider black people part of his cult.

magalovestheblackpeople WHAT AN IDIOT

No, this POTUS is attempting to reign in the degenerates who choose destruction over cooperation. We are Americans, we all hurt when Mr Floyd was killed but we do not as a nation stand behind destroying minority communities by left wing terrorist groups is the answer.

VOTE HIM OUT VOTE & VOTE THE GOP OUT TOO

Hey I’m ABC, and today I’m going to tell the American people how I feel and expect them all to feel the same way. And pretend I’m telling a news story.

Lies and fake news!

Fake news.

I’m not going to stick up for Trump here, but I still remember very clearly how little Obama did when things got ugly in Ferguson. Obama had an opportunity then to be a strong leader, and instead he chose to side step.

Coming from the Democratic Communist Party media lying again

Trump should have said to the looters, the biggest looter, vandal, arsonist etc will get a presidential medal of Honor for looting what that doesn't belong to them or for burning down buildings that doesn't belong to them. You encourage looting by nit calling it what it is.

He doesn’t know his left from his right, and now people are surprised to see him make things worst, as supposed to be the leader this country deserves? Trumpet blows his own horn to the beat of the voices in his head. If he wins the election, i will no longer believe in democracy

Fake news!

daicing Be bold, ABC and other news media. His comments are not 'controversial,' a cop-out adjective.

No one is listening to you. THANK GOD for Donald J Trump!! Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

Since Trump became President I miss: Feeling Safe A sense of calm Dignity Honesty Respect for others Respect for institutions Integrity Empathy Intelligence Unity Less Racism Better communication Less hatred

You are not reporting the news. You are reporting your bias.

Why is he still the president ?

He’s stupid

For the love of God, Trump needs to resign! Trump, America’s biggest con man!

His 'campaign' s/b screaming down the street as fast as they can in the opposite direction.

Don’t fail to mention that is also fanning flames of discord!

How did Obama close the divide? He did nothing during the racial riots on his watch. Stealing cheesecake, televisions and Air Jordans isn't protesting.

Oops, your bias is showing again abc. DO BETTER

But...but....kanyewest ?

news = lame stream Media. Creating the division in America

Your the ones promoting racism and provoking division. Quit the fake news. You stopped producing real news decades ago.

The media is stoking divide.

You really do aspire to divide our nation thru your rhetoric.

Liars.

FAKE NEWS...as usual

The only people stoking racial divides are TheDemocrats (party of the KKK and Jime Crowe) and their puppets in lamestream faux news media like ABC.

And you wonder why no one trusts you? You are all shameful and what you do should be criminal.

vxx46 This guy is a KGB monster. Hope Biden will prosecute him fully so this never happens again.

is fake news everyday. FakeNewsMedia FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS

Now is not the time to political, but stand for justice

ABCNewsTerrorists shut them down

Democratic governors are AHs

Pressitutes are paid well to lie to the public.

The media have also been a problem for decades

ABC you posting the same stuff over and over again

ABC, your going to be out a JOB soon! FakeNewsMedia 😡😡😡

45 is a neofacist thug!!

The new media are trying to create division in America!

Bs I tell you.

BS!

You are irrelevant.

ABC STOP WITH THE FAKE NEWS

Trump is a criminal

He fuels the fire and then runs away from Washington like a coward. Stay in Florida, we don’t want you in the WH

Soul searching needed for sure..you are not representing real journalism & that’s the problem! Ppl know the truth not coming from you! 🤫🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂

This country in under attack by AntifaTerrorists, deep state and extreme left. realDonaldTrump is a great America patriot and together, we will stamp out these terrorist in the United States.

ABC lied about everything from Epstein, Syria, Russia, Ukraine, Italy, New York, and Corona.

Fake news as usual

I guess the crazies want him to applaud the behavior or these animals or be judge jury and executioner like Husssin who’s comments degrading the police caused 2 of them to be executed in NYC and 3 in Dallas .

Fake news..

Remember when the news used to be about relaying the news and not about click bait ratings grabs

the enemy of the people ... doing it again ...

Wtf is wrong with shooting looters

He’s shows the world his true colors over and over. Racism in his DNA. We can’t expect anything else. TrumpIsARacist TrumpisaRacistThug

Only people stoking racial divides are ones who work and run mainstream corporate media!

So tired of your constant hate speech ABCpropaganda

Trump is right! It’s the media’s fault. What if we had no internet or news for one week? The media is swaying the masses.

The president could not care less about black people who are we trying to kid? He's 73 years old he's not going to change - he makes George Wallace look like a liberal.

Here we go with this ...

Lean left much? Americaissmarter than you

'a president'? what president has previously even come close? closest would be Reagan and GHW Bush. but not really close. this guy is in a failure category all his own.

Where is twitters fact checkers? TwitterFactCheck

Trump is the POS not the media

You best get your facts straight. The racial divide began with Obama and media outlets such as yours.

He is living his truth, don’t hassle him

Because he’s a racist

The police acted stupidly, that comforts the community right?

The biased media drones on...

Lies! The fake media like you are not doing your job. Your job is to calm the people and let people know the negative effect of looting. Let people protest peacefully for injustice. Don't leave your job and be chasing the president to redeem your damaged image. ABC change !

selfish man

FAKENEWS But congratulations on spreading racial tensions. YOUR organization should be declared a terrorist organization.

The only one’s pushing racial divide is you media folks.

So you're against businesses that run America. Maybe we should loot ABC and see the tweets then.

Fake news 😂😂😂😂

That’s his strategy 😩

don-the-con trump IS NOT: a lawyer, teacher, minister, doctor, ex-military, historian, scientist, literate, benefactor, honest, tax payer, trustworthy, a loyal husband, psychologist, nor physic.

Is this a report or an opinion?

Fake News from ABC again. They're all parroting the same DNC line.

Because if you disagree with looting you are against POC? What exactly are you saying ABC?

he's stupid.

Sicko. Vote him out. Unfit😵🤥

Bull. The media is stoking the racial divide. Sick.

JESUS is coming. Spread The Word !

This story is biased, lacks full context and misleads through the headline click bait.

ABC News again stokes racial divide. There, fixed it for you.

This is simply sad. Violence only leads to violence. Let’s all stop this non sense and work for a united country and reinvent our country.

Keeping making mistakes, Trump. We like watching you go down that road. Bye-bye in November!

This is a lie

Obama was the one who stoked racial tensions played all the plays from the Alinsky philosophy. Name one thing the President is doing to divide on race? He doesn’t have to “court” black voters, they are leaving in droves.

BS

No. YOU are stoking the fires of division & hate. You won’t deceive the people anymore. You have been exposed as lying enemies of America.

Baloney media

I’m confused. I thought white supremacists were rioting, destroying businesses, looting and setting fires during a “peaceful” BLM protest. You don’t want him to take on white supremacist thugs Maybe it’s ABC and media stoking racial divide. It is.

Please remember & review the revered previous Black President who did NOTHING to quell revolt when he had an opportunity to condemn violence. He didn’t now, he didn’t in his term, and is all for the democratic inaction to destroy America so we are forced to depend on the Gov’t.

Wow, look is at it again with their personal addenda, attacks and attempts to keep the tension and anger on HIGH, such a biased left opinionated source of GARBAGE MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople

All the major news Corp. are like high school lit teachers, making bullshit up from nothing, what do you think would happen if someone jumped the White House fence, secruity would show up and throw them to the ground.

Stop condoning violence and destruction of cities

You need to fix the news you’re reporting 7NY ;)

I WONDERED.... how long it would take before the Lefty news media started to bash POTUS...

He will NOT obtain voters from the African American community. I will also go as far as to say that he possibly also lost voters from his race.

Make protest marches into VoterRegistrationEvents. Empower protesters to vote, not loot. Silent leaders empower haters. VotersNeeded in November to overcome GOP VoterSuppression and to hold accountable all those that are silent. ProjectLincoln MeidasTouch

Letz REVISIT THIS

Lies. The master divider was Obama. stupidly

More fake news by ABC! Soros bit-h

How are black people instantly classified as radical left? Regardless of voting preference, this is not political, this is about justice. The president accuses by color, that is where the problem starts.

So, if trump saying the looters need to be shot has you saying he's stoking racial divides must mean that you are saying the looters were all black. Sounds like a racist statement by ABC. Or is this there way of keeping racial divisions.

He cares little about fixing the racism.

Fake News!

No is one surprised by Trump reaction. Just remember we have to eventually take out this trash.

Keep telling yourself that.

Learning fast from his Indian friend

This right here ☝️☝️ is a terrorist organization

I can’t get past your first LYING paragraph stating Trump said looters should be shot because he never said that. Looters were more than just black, they were also white This shows that you only saw looters as black. Thanks for your racist take!

And you wonder why you're called the enemy of the people ...

In what way?

ABC bullshit!!!

No ABC, you are the ones doing that. False reporting as usual

You, msm, are THE most divisive entity in all this. Instead of trying to unite people you take any opportunity to blame the President. Your fear of his re-election is so great that you have left journalism behind and have become clanging editorial gongs. You are fake & dangerous

And to other leaders more concerned with valuing and preserving life. The moment is for renewal, a new political era that will bring peace to the world.

The World does not need Leaders like realdonaldtrump encouraging violence, violating human rights, harassing the press and financing cowardly terrorism.The Planet needs political cleansing, excluding authoritarianism and emphasizing tolerance, benevolence and empathy.

You are fake news! YOU people divide our country! YOU MEDIA liberals try to court black Americans! With, All talk, No action! All for their votes! Democratic leaders are the real problem! 🙄

STOP!!!!! He is not stoking racial divides! YOU ARE!!!! This is inciting violence and you should take this down Twitter realDonaldTrump

Way to continue to fuel racial divide 👍 when those looters and riots are taking place at the ABC building you'll be begging for those thugs to be held accountable. Somehow this is a president problem? You are the problem with America. We are ONE NATION under god. Love you all

It is YOU who is stoking racial divides

The fact is Trump has NO idea how to be Presidential when the situation does not warrant his shouting 'Me' or 'I' The tragic murder of Mr Floyd by a policeman as 3 other police watched and did nothing is NOT about Trump So he has NO IDEA what to do.

ABC is telling black people, u are too stupid to think for yourself.

This is BS! MSN is bending over backwards to blame this on WS. When Antifa has said it's them! I have seen reporters defend this BS, celebrities donating to this, & flag out lie! You reap what you sow, & if you think your safe because of your fake sympathy your wrong.

Let’s see more fake war footage

Growing violence and division in America is all on Trump and his weak leadership.

Comments by ABC are disgusting. .

Fake news

Great unbiased headline ABC! Way to promote more rioting and looting!

Abz is so biased and so anti American

Good grief, fake news just keeps rolling along.

The Oval Office will forever be tarnished

Media is knowingly spreading false information, EnemyOfThePeople AntifaTerrorists AntifaDomesticTerrorists

ttps://www.fiverr.com/pro_english_vo/deep-or-energic-american-english-male-voice-over-service?email_id=0509b74defe096137f9ae3740d13d02e&email_name=requirements_review_to_seller

-He'll probably blame Andrew Jackson. After all, twenty dollars is twenty dollars.

THIS IS ON THE LYING MEDIA AND ANTIFA TERRORIRSTS

So black voters = rioters? That is racist

and Disney allowed children to be raped and murdered by not exposing Epstein!! THEY ARE SOROS CONTROLLED PROPAGANDA!! NeverForgetTheChildren

Saying that 'looters should be shot' is racist ignores how many white looters there are recorded. When someone doesn't mention race, don't bring up race. Stick to the applied terms, not unverifiable inferences you feel are there. Journalism 101 stuff, here.

Fake news!

The media stokes racial divides. The media lies about the level of police violence against blacks. The media then tries to morally justify rioting and looting.

Funny how ABC goes from “we are all gonna die from COVID” to the new shiny object of “protesters” within two days and somehow all are Trump’s fault! 🙄🙄..seems the msm is the true enemy of the people!!

you are the problem stoking the fires be happy you and the other media get the credit

He decided it was easier to kill them than win them over.

Baloney

Wow. I am so shocked.

Stokes how? You activists just throw an eye catching but rubbish headline on Twitter to smear the president and please your antifa wild dogs

The looters are thugs regardless of color. They should also be shot regardless of color.

Looters = blacks ABC?

Fake news

YOU need to stop.

Minnesota Mayor = Democrat Oakland Mayor = Democrat Nashville Mayor = Democrat DC Mayor = Democrat Atlanta Mayor = Democrat Dallas Mayor = Democrat Chicago Mayor = Democrat NYC Mayor = Democrat

why does ABC assume that looters are all black?

Of course, he is, realDonaldTrump has always demonstrated himself to be a racist, and he cares nothing about the everyday citizen of America.

Wrong get a life losers.

Crapper? He will lie again.

Some are trying to find luck from YouTube Please comment, like subsribe dan share VIRAL

What a biased rag outlet. Watch ABC News all my life until 2016. Never again

So looters are not going to vote Trump ?

AntifaTerrorists will come at ABC HQ next.

At some point he'll address this. Make no mistake- he'll stay on the teleprompter, won't sound sincere, and he'll talk about praying.

What idiotic comments from . Lies all the way. America knows Democrats are behind the domestic terrorism.

FU !!

Fake news!

He isn’t and doesn’t need to “stoke racial divides”, the media is doing that just fine all by themselves. No one believes you or believes IN you. You (MSM) stand for lies and with liars. We have no respect for you. You are laughable

People destroying property, attacking cops and citizens , and ruining lives are thugs. They are white, black and every other color. You the MSM are making his comment racial. That’s why no one trusts you anymore FakeNewsMedia

A. Lie.

FakeNews. It's amazing, you can't trust any MSM to be impartial, they're all in TheDemocrats' bakpocket.

The only black vote he is courting is Kanye West and that dodgy black who thinks he is white sheriff

Media is the enemy of the people

So now we can’t call people who burn cities to the ground animals and thugs. Ok ABC. This ends when we start arresting these rioting animals or normal Americans start protecting their property with deadly force.

That’s all he’s done for his entire presidency...

Don't vote for Biden or Trump, vote for that little president kid (can't remember his name but y'all know who I'm talking about)

Billionaires just don't care about anything very much you will only see your true reaction when you take all of Donald Trump's money away and then he'll be upset. The country destroying itself doesn't mean that much to him

Time for him to get kicked out of the White House and SLITHER back to his swamp.

Disagree

Said good bye to Black voters

Oh please silent whistle

Wow ABC can’t believe you have followed the same path as CNN.

It’s really time for the US to get rid of this individual. The damage he does domestic and international is huge.

He stated fact - if you loot, we will shoot. That’s not doing anything but stating fact. He said you can protest and be heard. But violence and destruction and theft won’t be tolerated. Fact again. Those weak democrat states are being punished for their weakness. Roll in the tank

wsteaks Except Obama called looters thugs too. Stop with the lazy everything is racist journalism.

He is leaving the country 👍

Were you even listening...no🤯

He is destroying our country and flying around on our tab, that is why he wants to be president, loves to spend our money. Don the Con.

Thugs are thugs. How is that a controversial comment? So Trump should just say something like no more racism and completely ignore the lootings?

He is bringing America down! He should resign from office now

It has to kick off to get people to get their head out of their ass first. Then we come together and that's when MAGA actually happens because humans are to busy saying meme right now until oops we are part of the problem. Normal behavior ,not new normal. Normal. History duh.

As a black woman I'm gonna say it again. I have SERIOUS issues with ANY brown person voting for the idiot in chief. He showed his colors when OBAMA won and EVERY DAY SINCE! He gives less than a shit about brown people , and if you've been paying attention, you'd know that.

Naw! No matter what the President says or does, YOU ABC will twist to make it a negative! We hate what you project from your ABC studio! You are ignorant. YOU have never even complimented the President - something wrong w/you there! Who are you - who bought you? Get honest! 🤥🙄

Is Trump trying to form a militarized state?

You ain’t black if you’re not rioting

President Trump spoke truth!! Anyone burning, looting, etc., are NOT protestors protected by the Constitution. These thugs should be immediately shot on the spot--- in the act--- so that domestic terrorism would be stopped. No apologies, no prisoners.

Heil to the blackening of America!

Hurting, they are out of control

Did you cover Trump's speech late this afternoon? Bet not.

Not fit for the Office! He certainly made America great again from the bottom end.

Our President doesn’t need to “court” Black voters. He has enacted the most policies to help them since Lincoln.

Trump is incapable of: 1. rational thought. 2. empathy. 3. sympathy. 4. leadership. He must resign now.

realDonaldTrump Trump, None of this is about you! Or about you trying to be right! You are not right! It's about our nation & ALL of our people. Black lives matter! All lives! We stand together! We are the UNITED States of America. It's the UNITED part Trump doesn't get!

The only ones hurting the country are the media

Simple straightforward communication is all it takes. How difficult could it be realDonaldTrump? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

ABC IS DEEP STATE STIR THE RACIST POT MEDIA WAKE UP PEOPLE YOU ARE BEING PLAYED BIG TIME!!!!!!

Ya continue to blame him .. he’s an idiot but this didn’t begin in the last three years. Pretty sure riots in Ferguson went on for weeks when Obama was in office

K

You know who else likes to stoke racial divide? Putin. Start reporting it & how trump is loving this, because the rioters are well organized within the peaceful protesters. This is why he dies nothing to stop it. Thank God MN governor and LE are onto it and stating it publicly.

Like ' I don't know what happened, but the police acted stupidly'?

ABC/DNC- Stop trying time claim Trumps words were controversial, they were effective and in reality of the situation.

F**** Trump

He’s not stoking division and hate. Articles like this are.

He is such a wasted human being.

Rachel Scott should be fired for inciting violence.

ABC totally spinning leftist propaganda supporting socialist communist enemies!!!

Fake news like CNN

Shame on you ABC, outright lies!

Ok do you think he cares or is worried?

No you are

Dear Trump supporters: Please send me any tweet or statement from Trump concerning the root cause of these protests?

Why is it when a black man dies all the blacks can burn stores and rob them white people get killed by cops also we just dont use it to rob and burn shit

Animals r coming out!

This man has made our country a holocost

You guys are so far gone and worse than CNN. He is trying to bring stability and you guys do nothing but report fake news and false narratives. You should be banned from the airways and should be ashamed.

Don’t be surprised when the rioters come for ABC news just like they did CNN. They don’t care which “side” you are on, they only want anarchy

TheBarrilla Four more years, bitch. Read it and weep.

Please people use that energy to make a difference in November when we vote the biggest racist out of office. That’s how we make America great again 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Wrong again ABC

Well now we know is all in on defeating President Trump. Any guise of objectivity is out the window. You’re no longer a news channel but another propaganda arm of the DNC.

That’s you Susan Rice DNC talking points. Don’t ever get tired of you’re non stop bull poop 💩

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around his statement that angry crowds are unAmerican. Did he not learn of the Boston Tea Party!

He is a disgusting human being to think that is going to solve the problem

Donald Trump is a racist

Trumps agenda is to divide this country. He wants a race war. Then he can declare martial law and be Putin

fake news

This is bullshit, and you know it. You're only pouring gas in the dumpster fire of the press.

If someone breaks in your house In the State of Texas, you can legally shoot them, if they try try to loot someones house. what do you think will happen?

Ban the Prez on Twitter

3. Arrest and load in buses for removal out of area and remote processing. Move quickly. Old style of “It will Settle down if we stand down and let them blow off steam” does not work.

These wide spread “spontaneous” violent riots are well organized. Stop it 1. Hover Facial ID Drones over crowd. Run continuously through national data base. 2. Send well trained plain clothes squadrons into riot areas to shake out IDs of agitator leaders and probable ANTIFA .

The Organizers are paid off by George soros, So why would trump apologize? These rioters are criminals, they act like children , Your the Racist against white people

If this week has told me anything, the democrat, liberal, and black voters are highly energized. They are more people protesting against authority this week, than all the Republican covid protests. The writing is on the wall, the gop will burn like Minneapolis come November.

We need a true leader to quell the unrest in this country, someone who can set their own feelings aside for the good of the people. Trump is not that man. He lacks the qualities of wisdom, intelligence, empathy, and compassion which are needed during dark times like these.

YOU ARE A FINANCED FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION THAT GENERATES FALSE NARRATIVES IN ORDER TO BAIT DOMESTIC TERRORISM. YOU GLORIFY DESTRUCTIVE DEVASTATING EFFECTS & BLAME IT ON THE PRESIDENT. U COMMUNIST. ALL TO STEAL THE ELECTION. Trump2020 CabalTakedown TruthMatters

Nah, Odumbo started this crap when he was squatted in the Presidents house! Trump’s too good for America honestly.

Boy are you in for a shocker! Lolololol.....suckers!

As long as we buy the Left vs Right paradigm, we lose. We'll always have an enemy. And the politicians, who will NEVER bring about the change we want, will have easy path to re-election by stirring us up and setting us against each other. Cause there's always an election coming.

Hey ABC, did the DNC provide you the copy for this story? Just curious.

Obama called rioters thugs in 2015. Show us your reporting then when he said that. Must have the B team working this weekend.

Pinocchio 🤥🤮

realDonaldTrump GOP Stop spreading BS corrupt ABC,there is no place in our country for looting,burning&destrying buildings&left wing media&democrats are helping the mobs to kill&hurt people because they can’t peacefully raise their concern&pain for justice.

How does rioting and looting comfort a hurting community? How does burning down homes and businesses help? Vandalizing government buildings? The issue is values, and changing them. Year round school is a start. Keep kids off the streets.

The President believe that black is American, they are equal in every way. We need to invest in black communities, support government n stop black on black crime, gangs n promote better school. Blacks can be anything the want to be even president. Racism is a global problem.

PRAISE THE LARD !!!

TeamPelosi JoeNBC nytimes MaddowBlog NicolleDWallace Lawrence allinwithchris Another distraction from Trump! Most of the news media is focused on the protesting throughout the country and has given COVID -19 almost no air time. Remember CNN and MSNBC this Virus is deadly!

ANTIFA is the cause for the destruction . ABC IS FAKE NEWS PROPAGANDA.

BULLSHIT FAKE NEWS!

Not “controversial”. Racist.

I guess he's written them off 🌪surrender, Dorothy.

You are WRONG so sick of the media!

He doesn't care about anything except being reelected.

This is a disgusting thing for a “news organization” to print. Disgusting

He doesn’t acknowledge reality any other time, why start now?

Fake news ...did u atleast listen what he said..

The most despicable and dangerous person on earth is bent on destroying our nation. He must be voted out and returned to Satan.

Fake news clickbait . Do better. The President is sick & tired of the Dems constant efforts to create chaos & then subsequently blame him for it. FAKENEWS factcheckthisshittwitter

Trump hates black people

DONALD TRUMP AND MAGAs...

ABC YOU are the ones stoking racial divides. Sick

This is a load of crap

If you say it’s so.

It's going to be fine. The democratsaredestroyingAmerica are saying their old rhetoric where they make false promises to the black community and nothing will change in democratsaredestroyingAmerica cities. Stop voting Democrat for change.

He will still get a second term.

So now that antifa is a white supremest group, can we finally label them domestic terrorists?

Oh right Trump provoke this...not you... 🙄 You’re terrible mafiamedia

Was it racism? The reason I asked that was no doubt the cop killed George Floyd and 'protesters' call it racism. Has anyone heard anyone offer any evidence of racism? Can't a man kill a man and it not be racism? What is the evidence?

You are full of sh!t. The ones who are stirring up racial divides are ABC News, George Soros, Antifa, & White Liberals. THE PRESIDENT and all Americans are devastated and furious over the death of an innocent Black man. He is doing all he can to comfort all.

Good news is, it's MAGA Night at the White House.

ABC, what you are saying is absolutely horrible! 🤥

You describe it like it's some kind of strategy, rather than the hateful spewings of a demented sociopath.

The true race divider was President Obama, then followed by the lying wicked democrats in Washington and then with the fake news media, like ABC. Americans are not blind. We will re-elect President Trump. Trump2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

He's a racist, always has been always will be.

Rioting in Democratic run cities isn’t Trump’s fault. The looting is a disgrace.

Huh!!! I listened to the same speech you’re referring to and heard nothing about racial divide. ANTIFA and Left Wingers. IT IS!! Wake the fu** up!!!

ABC is fake news! Your pathetic.. he did not stoke racial divides.

The media saying the president stokes racial divides.

What an abomination. Look who is doing the “stoking” LIBERAL media. FAKE NEWS

Stop misqouting our Beloved President....fake News and Co.

Actually that's your network guilty of that. Trump's pushing for peaceful protests. You and FakeNews have narratives to provoke hate to hopefully get votes for BidenIsARacist

I’m still voting for president Trump’s nothing changes that Trump stay sharp stay focus don’t listen to the media and wanna be Americans some are imposter I just learned most of them are fake Trump is Good PresidentTrumpAwesome ComedyCentral EveryOnesLivesMatters

You would have to be totally stupid not to understand what follows rioting and anarchy. They have only one force to use and it’s called DEADLY FORCE so please re think your actions before protesting.

Yet it's Democrat city leaders that keep bad cops in the community and let rioters destroy black neighborhoods. 😔

Fake news!

Why does the network that is covering for the Epstein pedophiles continue this blantly bias propoganda. People beating up citizens and burning down blogs are thugs. This same term was used by Obama/Biden during Ferguson & Miami riots. AbC has lost all credibility
