Pres. Trump moving forward with a visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin, in what the White House says would be a “unifying” visit—even as the state’s governor has asked the president to reconsider.

, on Tuesday in what the White House said would be a “unifying” visit, even as the state’s governor has asked the president to reconsider and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden has accused him of “fanning the flames of hate and division in our society.”

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers speaks during a news conference, Aug. 27, 2020, in Kenosha, Wis. The city has suffered from unrest in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes is at rear. McEnany said the current plan was for the president to meet with law enforcement and tour “some of the damage from the riots” while in Kenosha.

It remained an open question Monday whether the president may meet with Blake’s family. Asked about the possibility, McEnany said the White House is “efforting outreach” to the family but has “not been able to connect yet.” The president remained silent of Blake’s shooting for days following the incident, only breaking his silence Friday in an interview with ABC affiliate WMUR, saying “It was not a good sight, I didn't like the sight of it certainly and most people would agree with that.

Why doesn’t tRump love and respect our country? He never told Putin to stop putting bounties on our military people.

Translation this vile ConMan means love and respect him since he believes he’s the country! Trump has consistently promoted division confrontation animosity using it to ferment violence then claim he’s going to fix what is instigated👎🏾

The president is senile and has lost his mind.

He lost our respect in the world 3 years ago. His legacy will be ignorance, division, inciting hatred, violence & due to his defiance of the virus, killed hundreds of thousands of people. The Trump virus made us 1 in the world. Is that his idea of winning?

TrumpIsAnIdiot

go to it 89yrs old

Shouldn’t you send someone those people will respect!

You, realDonaldTrump are not wanted!

Democrats know the majority of Americans are voting for TRUMP 2020 MAGA KAG 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️

Wisconsin followed Trump’s advise and called in the National Guard and things are now quiet...Portland still burning. Trump should go to Kenosha to thank First Responders.

Do you think maybe the mayors request is dividing? Telling someone of the other political spectrum to stay away is the definition of dividing. To unite, we come together. To unite we don’t tell the POTUS to stay away. That is a dog whistle to your base to push back.

Love and respect? You don’t even know what that is you RacistInChief TrumpTraitor TRE45SON 180KAmericansDEAD TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpChaos TrumpTerrorism MAGATerrorists

Lies...Trump is only looking out for Trump, nothing else matters to him. Hopefully people will realize this before they vote!

They asked you not to come. Why don’t you listen to what the people what you to do

Joe Biden looks always relaxed, this ¨President¨ looks always upset, showing the tough guy ...

A lot of “love and respect “ for our country disappeared in the past 4 years. Those if us who love our country will be voting blue in November. VoteBidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

A man with a shallow mind,illogical responses/remarks, and no well made strategy/plan to lead the country should not be asked about logic🧐Trump is the main cause of the unrest we face in 🇺🇸Who helped him to be in the White House is for ever a serious question⁉️

Great so our tax dollars are going towards more campaign proganda.

If he goes the media will bash him if he doesn’t go the media will bash him

Well, the do nothing Democrats are expected to say that, but Trump always makes things much better. They should actually help him, for the good of the people they are supposed to protect.

You would like nothing more than riots in Kenosha so you can push your Orwellian double speak narrative.

Np one can help the people line the president! Democrats don't like having the victims get the microphone so that everyone can here what evil antifa/Blm democrats terror put them threw.

What an unfit POS!!

2/2 He didn’t care about the tragedy, the horror, the grief of my city and the agony of those who lost loved ones, friends and fellow worshippers. He placed himself there solely to be noticed at the most prime time. He has no problem insinuating himself into a situation.

1/2 When the murdered people from the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh were being buried, Trump was asked to delay his visit. He didn’t, bringing HOTUS and Ivanka and Jared (his token Jews)using resources that should have been used for the victims and true mourners.

“Love and respect for the country “ he showed so much of it when he got his draft notice and choked. Gutless phony.

He doesn’t care at all. Evil!

Psycho realDonaldTrump

Courage. (Is this going to be today's fakestream meadia's meltdown story?)

How could it be a problem when the problem is 1% for the left?

There will always be Haters , but not an INCREASE IN HATERS !!

I believe Joe finally emerged from his basement and gabbled some nonsense at about 50 fans who showed up to see him. Then gabbled more nonsense on the ClownNewsNetwork. Has he retreated to his burrow again?

Trump = total failure -- has no record of accomplishment to run on, so we get this crap

this guy is delusional and suffering from denial syndrome.

Yes b/c the president is most well known for spreading love and respect everywhere he goes 😳

The RacistInChief just doesn’t stop his nonsense. 🤦🏻‍♂️ SpeakerPelosi JoeBiden KamalaHarris

The Golden Dump is sofa king obvious and yet his dumpsters just eat that shit up.

Translation: No one wants me there but I think it’ll make a good campaign ad.

Do you think Biden and his friend Obama will go?

Trump's dark re-election theme, which promotes fear and conflict, is a perfect representation of both his longstanding and deeply negative world view and his lifelong practice of refusing to accept responsibility for any problem.

Hmm, concerns for our citizens who grieve in shock, gather despite fear to be heard that they indeed are human, concerns my visit could stir up tensions and increase violence among our people? ...Well, it could also be a good photo op, story to spin, a gaslight op: 'enthusiasm'

The only way you can increase Enthusiasm, Love, and Respect for our country is when you get voted out! Good riddance DT!

It could but it won't because nobody likes you. Remember?

Four more years equals Dictatorship-Vote Biden 2020 the only way to save Democracy!!!

Trump is going there for political purposes only. He will do something stupid again. Kenosha and America doesn't want him. Mr. Trump go back to Moscow with your boyfriend Putin. It is time we VOTE for real leaders, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Trump’s lack of consideration for Kenosha is purely ego & political. Trump doesn’t care if his visit to Kenosha will interrupt police from policing ongoing civil unrest. Many officers will be reassigned for additional Trump security, when they should be policing the streets.

Antifa (dot) com directs Antifa supporters to donate to the Biden campaign, and the Biden campaign reciprocates by donating $20 million to bail Antifa supporters out of jail.

That's the only mask he wears, a 2 minute facade and he mentioned the word 'love' which must've been f..kin excruciating.

Trump lives in Opposite World. Whatever is terrible or hurtful, merciful or kind--he chooses the worst outcome.

He’s going despite GovEvers, LGMandelaBarnes, & AGKaul urging him to reconsider

No one respects the US right now. No one. This gibbering, corrupt simpleton has reduced it to a laughing stock. He is the albatross around the neck of the country. Get rid. TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

BlissTabitha

Oh sure, that’s what everyone in any tumultuous situation needs, a visit from this buffoon! If it were a campfire, he’d make it into a bonfire, and blame it on the wood, while he’s dousing it with gasoline!

It can only exacerbate due to a lack of respect for the office. Democrats have zero!

BlissTabitha ABC news is FAKE news!

The only person Trump loves, is Putin

. Remember, Biden's dementia will be exposed in his debate on TV with Trump. . So, don't send out your ballots until after the debate, to avoid making a big fool of yourself ! !!

bullshit, he is taking a 44 gal drum of gas to pour on the anger, suffering and hurt in Kenosha Trump is too stupid to understand the size of the bus GOP will throw him under in Feb 2021.

Seriously when has he ever increased “love and respect” in any situation? He’s incapable of it...he can’t help his reactive defensive and divisive nature. He’s old and he sucks as a person. Screw this guy.

It increases enthusiasm to evict donald from our White House come January.

Only increase enthusiasm to keep doing what they’re doing because it’s okay by POTUS.

Bloody idiot noone wants him there.

I like those words. “Love”, “respect”.

He's using it for political purposes.

Liberal ran BLM and ANTIFA already set a bad example. LAW AND ORDER MEAN THE MOST TO AMERICANS. JUST WAIT UNTIL ELECTION DAY AND YOU WILL SEE. We see what's happening in these Liberal controlled cities and us middle of the isle voters have decided.

Everyday the same bullsit! AbuseOfPower VoteBlue2020 PresidentMayhem MurdererInChief

So friggin daft.

Breaking : Protestors break into Portland mayor apartment building, trying to set it on fire.

Doing his best to drag America down into civil war, on the orders of his boss

No one wants him there. It will inflame tensions and he knows it. He wants to create more chaos and disruption. Thats what is base 'likes'. Americans are sick and tired of this buffoon.

True. Why is the fake news so pessimistic?

ResignNowTrump

BRAVO PRESIDENTE TRUMP👏👏👏👏👏👏DESDE PERU👏👏👏🌹👏🌹

He's going to set a bad example.

realTonyDudley Since when does President Trump take orders from Democrats?

He doesn't need their permission. They thought they were empowered and woke then the POTUS showed them the truth! JUSTICE!

He’s praying for the rioting to increase and blame it on the Democrats! The more he’s losing in the polls, the angrier and more divisive he’s becoming! Nov 3 seems a long way off and it’s going to be a very worrying time ahead. 😔

Unifying who & how when they do NOT want you there .realdonaldtrump alleged potus?

Trump is a disaster

ABC news. Can you report on this

Of course he didn't. Just wants to stir up trouble!

Two proven failures in politics! Why would one listen to them...unless desiring time fail like them?!🤪

Best thing would be a silent protest with backs turned wherever he is so that he is behind you not in your future. Don’t get angry show contempt to the parasite that is Trump

That's my POTUS...

Do a creative and amazing custom t shirt design

trump is interfering with the investigation of the kid in kenosha is a direct violation of any president of the united states.

NOT go to the sacred grounds where a devout MAGA NAZI sacrificed 2 souls as an offer up to Grand Dragon realDonaldTrump ? Sacrilege!

Meanwhile in Portland. Rioters celebrate Mayor Ted Wheeler's Birthday with street fires and firecrackers

Neither of those two did any thing to help Kenosha. In fact, Evers just inflamed the situation.

Unifying in a pig's eye. The chaos creator is visiting to survey the damage of the chaos he has wreaked. I sense Bannon and Miller hovering in the wings.

Trumps going to pardon Kyle Rittenhouse just to throw gas on the fire isn’t he?

So just strand him at the airstrip. There’s no need to go out to meet him or provide resources for his transport. Let him make his own way without interfering with traffic, etc.

Unifying?! In a chemical sense, I suppose, as molecules bond in the dumpster fire that is Trump.

DT is, 4 a better word, an idiot. The C-19 exposed his incompetence 2 manage a crisis. So concerned about his own re-election he forgot about a invisible virus that has killed 180K+. His heartless approach & aloof concern 4 death & misery has made him the “Man who Cares Not”.

Lol, wrecked.

🖕 you trump.

Given the tense situation How much more will Secret Service have to spend on making the area safe for potus. Is it worth the cost to have him visit for a photo op?

TrumpTerrorism

Of course not. He couldn't give a 💩 less about Kenosha. He's just looking to borrow a Bible to hold upside down for a photo op.

Why should he? Trump is the president & it is good when a president travels to a city or town that has had a tragedy. It always has been, for example hurricanes & Obama travelled for a murder. This game they are playing is just because they want to try to daily hurt Trump. 🤡🤡

This president is so out of touch with morality that he can't even do the right thing for himself.

A petulant child

He is garbage.

What a shame he is the top of the nation.

Peons

Maybe build a wall to keep him out. Oh wait....

Never in the history of politics has one presidency been so excessively populated by incompetents and the psychologically infirm who have chosen not to help the Nation but to view the Nation as an opportunity to inflict their own personal grievances.

Stop saying its 'divisive' you lefty sassbags.

they do not want him, he is going anyway. How the hell is that unifying?

Yeah, just show up where you're not wanted. Great way to get re-elected.

Who cares what they think. Their voters support Trump.

Trump dont care 😼

Trump thinks it is OK for teenagers to go into public areas with unregistered and illegal firearms such as AR15 automatic machine guns and to shoot those that they don't like

Trump OK's 17 year old teenager using AF15 automatic rifle to shoot peaceful protesters there for he and the teenager should be tried on manslaughter charges the teen as perpetrator and Trump as know accomplice

Real Americans already love and respect our country. Trump has none but for himself.

When shit hits the fan after his visit, I have no doubt he’ll blame everyone but himself. stayaway onlyracistswantyoutovisit

realDonaldTrump :'Our white country.'

If it was Ferguson and Obama, you'd be shining the Nobel Prize for him.

WTF?!? Love and peace ... ok what’s he smoking or maybe dropping some acid?

The Sociopath can’t help it.

JacobBlake parent's are probably worried they'll let slip what kind of 'man' he really was. I'd have a lawyer present if this was my son too:

We need Morgan Freeman to narrate a response . . . 'It did not increase love and respect for our country.'

Deplorable

See the people that did such a good job for 'me.' His trip will result in love for this country

He lies untill he is red in the face, going by his complexion he has been doing that for a long time

He was busy playing golf

Now he’s afraid of lawyers after being ‘protected’ by them all his shitty life?

Now post that he raped a 15 year old girl. Seems to be a reasonable journalistic position

He doesn’t want to or will meet with the family. But it’s the families fault because they want some kind a lawyer there.

Lawyers just gum things up

Of course this is bs since Trump is a proven pathological. Yet the media bites on this every time. He’s going to Wisconsin for an expensive photo op with police in military gear.

One of the traits of a narcissist is to create trouble and chaos....of course he'll go.

Ivana, Marla, and Melania agree Trump is the embodiment of 'love and respect' Mistresses Karen McDougall, Stormy Daniels agree.

Lol love and respect. He’s stoking tensions.

Does Trump plan to gas protesters in advance of his visit? Does he have the Bible he borrowed for the last photo op? This obvious political ploy isn't going to work and could backfire spectacularly. I just hope no one gets hurt in the process.

Trump is only going to be a campaign he is not interested in the social problem

trump needs to meet with the survivor of the JacobBlake sexual assault, see how she’s doing metoo

Increase love & respect for the country?!?!

Just another Trump photo-op. The only thing he’s trying to increase love and respect for is himself, as always. 😒

Coward!!!

Such a SHAMELESS leader in history of US. Even worst dictators have some respect for their countrymen and have some ethics... But this guy is just horrific

🗣i hate this man !! he's evil

Callous Covfefe Red Tie Rogue POTUS 64 more days to go for his political demise.

It won't.

Callous Covfefe Red Tie Rogue POTUS 64 more days to go for his political demise.

A state asks you to stay away in what we all can agree is a bad idea. Nope no one tells DJT what to do.

Unifying my ass!

The most divisive POTUS in recent history thinks he is going to unify our country just goes to show you how stupid the man really is.

He should reconsider visiting this disaster area the same way Bush reconsidered visiting after Katrina.

Donald Trump has done nothing in the entire time he has been a WH that is remotely unifying. In fact, his entire Time has been devoted to division and anger.

Who cares what some liberal divider ants - if the Governor fails to show up - he is the negative divider

WhyDotRumpAndTheMajorityOfItsSupportersHateAmericaAndAmericans

Can Trump keep is foul mouth shut? Question for Tuesday

A pot stirring visit if ever there was one.

the PEOPLE want him there. the people want his help because they know they cannot count on WI officials to protect them. He's going there at the request of the PEOPLE.

So, since crime only happens in Dem. states, Rep. states must be crime and protesting free !!

LOL “unifying visit.” 🙄 Trump is not capable of unifying. He simply does not have the ability, let alone the desire. So this promises to be a total shitshow.

Dicktators gotta dick around. BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

He don't give a fuck!!🍊🚶‍♂️💩🤮🤬

😡😡😡😡😡

But the people of Kenosha want him to visit. So the Governor should just hush!

The white supremacist terrorists are already united under trump. trump is going to Kenosha to create chaos.

Apparently the Governor and Mayor can’t handle the situation. Hoping they do not want another Portland or Seattle.

That's because the Governor is a leftist.

He can't even unify his own party.

If I was in charge in kenosha the local police would stay on patrol in the city,not a single cop dedicated to president motorcade or protection. Nothing.

Why throw rocks when you can throw eggs.

Stay home you putz.

Dems scared trump might make inroads with a unifying message. Look at them and their media surrogates scramble

Dems don’t you to see success - what the president has been saying all along. Request federal help and the endless riots will be stopped in 1 day.

Have you ever seen an emptier disk of a corprate executive? It affirms what every sane person knows: Trump is a lazy fraud whose only talent is cooking up conspiracies. If you followed him around, you would soon learn his daily output of watching TV and tweeting vicious lies.

No one thinks his visit will unify anyone. His divisive rhetoric precedes him.

realDonaldTrump : you are not welcome in Wisconsin. TrumpViolence

He knows exactly what he wants to accomplish! Protests are peaceful, the Dem Mayor and Gov asked him to please wait and he ignores their requests. He’s going to support one side of this conflict only. If his visit and actions or words incite more violence he should be arrested.

realDonaldTrump you are the most disrespectful person. Your presence is not wanted, that's what he said if you are that thick you didn't understand. You are a divider NOT someone who unifies.

Build a wall around the city

Trumps America

Unifying means to unify conflicting opinions, to bring a Country together. Have you ever had any experience doing this, Trump?

Trump is the president, even in Wisconsin.

TrumpRiots In spite of the Mayor asking him not to come he’s such a loser

What this regime says & what actually happens are 2 different things.

Trumps afraid of NOONE !!

Historical context. He’d like us to ignore that white nationalist militias and their sympathizers in the police have gone unnoticed as instigators in this summer’s events. History may not repeat itself, but it definitely rhymes. The news media must step up and see where we are.

He’s just a disgusting human being and a stain on our country’s history.

How does this SOB think he can unify anyone after denigrating the governor for months?

Obviously the WhiteHouse is using an alternate meaning for unifying!

Outlets like yourselves will lie,lie and lie again trying to cover up the fact you have blood on your hands. Hate Trump, that's up to you. But the lies you and the rest of you push has cost people the loss of livelihoods and loved ones. All cos you want corrupt Dems in power.

Trump is a terrorist no better than ISIS. He is a dictator no better than Hitler. Trump insights and promotes violence just like any communist leader. Trump must be terminated and eliminated if we want our America back.

He lies. Don't let him in.

He's going to create havoc & fuel the flames of hate!

Wanted For Treason and Violence Against US Government and Properties!

Getting footage for his next doctored video is all.

He isn’t capable of unifying anyone he’s a divider!

Seems the governor gave up his chance to make a statement when he decided to do nothing.

Another trump super spreader. He has no shame or conscience

No😱 someone please make POTUS stay home. He will do more harm than good

Only a democrat would ask President not to come visit the city where law and order needs to be restored now you know why people are voting for Trump.

UNIFYING WHAT? HE CAN'T EVEN TIE HIS FUCKING SHOES!!!

Is that Silly Putty?

Going to cause trouble as usual. Still won't condemn his lil white supremacist shooter/murderer down there. But quick to condemn protesters tho.

How much more absurdity will we have to endure until the election?!?! He’s taking his gas can and lighter to light the flames of division and racism. WorstPresidentInHistory

Winning again. Poor Dim Gov already knows his State will go with trump again

Trump should go meet with the female victim who was sexually assaulted by Jacob Blake and needed the police because he returned 🤷🏽‍♂️

Unifying? The President has no interests in unifying.

Nothing about him and nothing he does is for 'unity'. Just Division. Chaos. Misinformation. Zero Accountability. More Death. Emboldening White Nationalists & Extremists.

It's about the people, not the weak governor who does nothing.

Sure, why not

OMG!!!! Is he really going to go to the disaster area, like every president before him, and try to show support and try to get some unity? Will he? Won't he? OMG!!!!

Nothing about realDonaldTrump is unifying - this will not be a good visit.

Why does he keep showing up where he’s unwanted?
