The president’s effort to exploit cultural divides is a familiar tactic, but the message is complicated this year by a pandemic and a national debate over race relations

President Trump has seized on saving statues and preserving monuments to American history as a winning issue for his re-election, attacking protesters and Democrats in remarks over the Independence Day weekend.

The president’s effort to exploit cultural divides is a familiar tactic, recalling the “American carnage” he described in his inaugural address. The message is complicated this year by a pandemic and a national debate over race relations. The emphasis on protecting the U.S.’s iconography from critics comes after Mr....

Trump gave an awesome speech

GO PRESIDENT TRUMP. PRESIDENT TRUMP LOVES AMERICA THESE PEOPLE DON'T.

Yeah neighbors sick +friend's father just died +13,000 of us Vegas gig workers got 0 from PUA +cannot pay our bills, BUT the doncon is giving us a present! Yahoo. ... . ... A park with a big Billy Graham statue ... how about a big Russian Puppet statue too! Let them eat cake!

WSJ comments are full of (R)tards jumping to be the first to show how stupid they are. Don't worry idiots, there's plenty of room on the wrong side of history for all of you. How many statues of Hitler does Germany have on their prominent public buildings and military bases?

Who is exploiting cultural divisions? Seems to me like it is CNN et el that is doing all the dividing...

Blm is cultural dividing dem entity

No, Trump is not the one exploiting cultural divide, you are, the demonrats. It's what you want, you just don't like that Trump ran for president under the Republican party, prior to that demonrats in hollywood loves Trump. Even Oprah asked him to Run for president. 😈🐁🐀🐁🐀

“Exploit.” “Pounce.” “Dark.”

👎🏻

“Exploit cultural divides” that YOU manufactured along with your other buddies in the media. Hell has a warm special place waiting for you guys.

I Hate Myself!

We have a rising huge deficit, people dying of Covid, US Soldiers with bounties on their heads and only thing MAGA's are concerned about is their cult leader is upset because raciest and traitor statues are being torn down. Let's blame the traitors on the Dems. That will own them

Haha ....very entertaining misdirection...a familiar tactic indeed...but DNCs old classic in an effort to secure the Black Vote...Very predicable...then any trace of commitment disappears after Election Day...same old Big Blue Machine 🧤🧤

Yes, with all the things going on...virus, protests, Russia paying to kill U.S. troops, my main concern is saving statutes.

Trump’s description of “far-left fascism” sounds remarkably similar to Trumpism.

President’s effort is to enforce the law against thugs criminally looting and vandalizing property and assaulting and killing Americans. ALL law abiding Americans should be on the side against criminals. Telling that Democrat politicians stand with the thugs. Vote accordingly.

This is not even oped?

Seriously?! Wtf wsj?

It amazes me that the WSJ dishrag actually thinks people believe their reports

“Wait no stop forget about those dumb Covid victims or that economic calamity or my brazen, oozing corruption or my decision to ignore Russian bounties on US soldiers to avoid upsetting putin” *flails tiny hands* “look LOOK; UPPITY MINORITIES THREATENING THE WHITE MAN!!” -D Trump

He is just swinging at what is being thrown, this would not have been his choice

Trump is exploiting cultual divide? So cabel culture and wokeness is all his idea? One never stops learning.

funny when Obama went there was no racism involved

Maybe he should try guiding our country through this pandemic.

No, I liked the speech. I like America.

The President is not the one trying to divide Americans along a cultural divide. That's the media and the democrats. Sad to see joining the BS.

, is a part of the divisive domestic terrorist group Called the Democratic Party! BLM is a controlled terror group run by liberals to create CHAOS! Trump is inclusive, inspiring, & paid a glorious tribute to our America on the 4th of July! We are not stupid! TheDemocrats

It seems to me that works well with his base supporters but not too well with the rest of us.

Yes, more blacks are working, buying their own homes...all good isn’t it

It's not his supporters in the streets tearing stuff down.

honestly, why the fuck is opposing the forcible removal of statues by roving bands of vandals a partisan issue? Left, right, and center should oppose it.

Wtf happened to the wall street journal? Were they bought by the new york times or something? Jesus.

The cultural divide here being patriots and traitorous Democrats?

Man in the High Castle

stop trying to deface and erase America, the land of the free and brave

Amid furor over monuments, Trump seeks `garden' of US heroesAs demonstrators around the U.S. topple monuments, President Trump envisions a 'National Garden of American Heroes,' to honor Founding Fathers, civil rights pioneers, explorers, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and others. We can safely say Bonespurs won't have a statue in it himself. Really, a dumb idea for the ages. Plus, it's never going to happen. And not TRUMP
