Trump plans to restart rallies on Juneteenth in Tulsa, a city with a troubled racial history

The decision to hold a rally in Tulsa, a city with a checkered racial history, on June 19, or Juneteenth -- the day that marks the end of slavery in the United States -- is especially striking as the nation undergoes a conversation about racism in the wake of George Floyd's killing at the hands of police officers.

The campaign believes those crowds at the protests have opened the door to events like these rallies, despite the warnings from public health officials that social distancing, facial coverings and limited public interaction are still necessary to prevent a second spike of the virus. "Where we go, we will make sure it is safe to hold a rally and what safety precautions we put in place.

Let's give all these protest a rest. All they do is cause chaos and drag the looters and rioters in to destroy.

I know... how could anyone not know about juneteenth ! Everyone has heard about it right? Anyone who hasn't must be a complete idiot and obviously r*****. After had wall to wall coverage last year you must lying if you say you've never heard of it.

The blacks rioted, and were killing people. They had to be shot. It was a good thing .

And remember Trump supporters, no one can make you wear a mask !

I got an idea let's do very racist stuff and when people call us on it we'll call THEM racist! For racists the very discussion of racism is racist.

If America is really all about the black community now where’s our Reparations? The US government has given Reparations to every ppl they’ve done wrong in the past..... EXCEPT the black community. Coincidence?🤔 I think not

Enabling Racism at the highest level. He and Steve Miller know exactly what they’re doing and really don’t give a shit if it’s racist.

Please give it a rest. Please report on the history of racism and the Democrat party.

A true leader would first go to the place where George Floyd murdered and take a silent minute as respect to him.

So you're accusing all Oklahoman's of being racist. Shame on you .

So..... he shouldn’t hold his rally because it coincides with this date? EVERY single day of the year has historical significance- you all have just happened to dig this particular one up because it fits your political ideology/agenda(s).

Trump has chosen a 'place to remember'😨😰

hmm. I wonder if he knows.

Please kiss, hug, fu&k, and lick.

Nothing is ever a coincidence with this guy. I’m sure he plans to go there a throw gas on the fire. Expect nothing less from this GOP.

So he supports the end of slavery? Awesome

doesn't get more propagandized than this post

It’s also a Friday!

Trump rallies have the media drawers in a knot. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

I will remove background 300 photos by clipping path within 2 day

Coincidence I wonder...

I'm sure that's exactly why it was chosen. At least that's what your headline implies--and you know it. Also would love to know if CNN can give me an example of a city without a checkered racial history. If no, then why is that point relevant to a story about a rally? fakenews

President Trump announces plans for rally in Tulsa next weekPresident Trump says he will host his first rally in months next week in Oklahoma, and plans to visit four other states in the coming weeks. He hasn't held a rally since early March, when all in-person campaign events were halted due to Covid-19 concerns. Perhaps not kind. Hope Trump gets the virus. I’m sure they’ll all wear mask and spread out they’re not stupid, right? and now everyone knows why he wanted the country opened up early.
