President Trump called George Floyd's death a 'grave tragedy' that 'should never have happened.' But once he was back on Twitter, he was again inflaming tensions, with politics at the forefront.

Expect Biden and other Democrats now to have to answer if they agree or disagree with the Antifa designation., and that his rhetoric could hurt him with independents and suburban women.How Trump responds this week to the violent demonstrations and race relations in America could be consequential. Will it be Teleprompter Trump or Twitter Trump, or both at the same time once again?Meet the Press

The great American coronavirus experiment:phased reopeningsApril and May saw more than 100,000 Americans die from the coronavirus.

The White House has also said that cases could go down in the warmer, summer months. Does that happen? And if so, do Americans get too comfortable and lapse into a false sense of security — only to see a spike in the fall? None of it's clear, but the U.S. is heading into a period of pandemic experimentation with no vaccine or cure for the coronavirus as yet.It's hard to believe, but there are elections on Tuesday.

All dictatorships will strip civil liberties to further their twisted causes,killing citizens is part of the fun

No surprise! No surprise at all.

We must remember what Antifa means. Antifacist, if Our Pudgy president has a I.Q. above 60? He knows Anti Antifa, is of course, Pro Fascist. Now his Friend Putin has a system of rule much like fascism, he just hides it well. Putin is much more Wealthy than Adolf that's a problem

How? Please show me how he was stoking the already lit flames. Ill wait

& Family of George said trump didn’t hear him out during phone call

TrumpTwitter Trump is much like Roman Nero who played fiddle while Rome burnt, now America is burning and Trump is playing fiddle with twitter 'had protesters breached WH fence, they would have been met with vicious dogs and most ominous weapons' Be safe

Your opinion...

IdentityPolitics is what inflames tension. Thats a Progressive tactic, not a conservative value. NPR concentrates is coverage with race-related angle more than any other LameStreamMedia outlet. NPR is responsible for this. NPRs constantly divisive rhetoric leads to this.

Anarchists have hijacked the message. Time to put this commie insurrection down, by any means.

Good luck with that. Trump has no credibility with issues related to law and order. He has thumbed his nose at at our justice system by pardoning criminals.

Autopsy has already shown that Floyd's death was NOT caused by strangulation, but it will take a few weeks for tissue and tox screens to come back that may show how he died.

What a horrible “human”?! 😳

Calling out mayors for inaction is now 'inflaming tensions' according to NPR. Why does a penny of taxpayer money go to support this propaganda outfit?

“Law and order!” Said the guy would will never be indicted realDonaldTrump is criminally negligent for 100000 American deaths and in fomenting hatred every time he speaks. TrumpIsACoward TrumpIsALaughingStock

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

But it's more than a tragedy. It's a systemic problem without any solution to date. Evidence? Three cops stood by for eight long minutes and never tried to stop the murder of George Floyd. The police is a brotherhood that cannot police itself.

If inflaming tensions means trying to end looting & violent chaos, I’m all for it!

NPR is fanning flames as we burn together. Always pushing in one direction. That said I won’t call to silence opposing views . I will fight for the whole Bill of Rights , 1-10.

NPR is clearly the white liberal handing the Black man a brick to throw in the crowd. you have blood on your hands.

FYI...white lives also matter

Fake news

Кто-то верит в это?

What would you have him do? Should he have said, let's have 6 hours of looting and burning and then we'll call it good. Okay?

Scripted Trump vs. Unscripted Trump. Which do you think is the REAL Donald Trump? Hint: check out his Twitter handle.

'seems likely' - What kind of news is that?

De-fund NPR.

Seriously, half your paper is good, but this section is Shit. Him being alive pisses people off and you are part of it.... go pound sand. You are not constructive at all whoever this anonymous loser who wrote this is... Give us your plan.

NPR, the people who write for a living, are trying to manufacture a new meaning for the word 'thug.' Nice inflammatory lead-in, NPR, with absolutely NO substance behind it. NPR - still not a news outlet...still just a propaganda mill.

FAKE NEWS MEDIA is the enemy of the USA!!!

Dems are the enemy of the USA!!!

All he does is say one thing and do the opposite. He Stokes fires of division and needs to be removed from office. Him and his lackeys.

Well, NPR, you’re trash BUT, you’re right about this. His Twitter feed is so not helpful

I have a sneaking suspicion Donald Trump and Maga is behind the violence and highend looting at the protest. The Protesters are peaceful. Something doesn’t smell right about the violence that’s happening. It has Donald Trump written all over it. His comments fit this theory

The president likes it when people are assaulted by the police.

I follow NPR on Twitter,just to see what Liberal lemmings type! What a sad group of lost minds!

Will this be addressed?

FakeNews CCP NPR at it again. The truth will soon come to light. Seditious conspiracy. Insurgence.

Trump is a business liar, he cannot lead the United States.

True to autocratic form. Use the media pulpit to read platitudes, then stir the base with violent rhetoric. As he said, we have the guns, Army, Police,

45 is playing a dangerous game of manipulation, and not very well.

Stop the hijacking of the peaceful protests. Dangerous players must be detected and processed. CapehartJ We know that the violence is coming from extremists groups. Don't let them get away with this. I remember the sixties, this must be handled differently this time.

Keepin' it Real has some thoughts on police abuse of authority. Read: 'The Opaque Reality of 21st Century Policing'

Seems we have a failure of leadership by all politicians (Dems and Reps) Country experienced same events in 2014 and 2015 and we had a “blue ribbon committee” of experts What happened? We need serious people to make change

Trump says he'll designate antifa a terror organization, blames group for violence at George Floyd protestsTrump is convinced the loosely affiliated group of militant anti-fascists is behind the violence at protests following George Floyd's death. I've always had this question .. Why did the American people elect a guy like donald trump as president? Do most American citizens really agree with the doctrine and the type of thinking that Trump practices and promotes? 'anti-fascists' you mean paid fascist anarchists. He searches every day for a new enemy. Never stopping to look in the mirror.
