Once again it's all about himself, no regard for the country burning down while he sits in his safe house drinking diet sodas and eating well-done steaks.
The great divider. Nothing said to try to calm people, instead he throws more fuel on fires.
The corona deaths continue to mount, the economy is getting worse, with no signs of recovering before the election.
The country even further split. The grave digger of the republic is getting his way, aided by his media and armies of social media warriors in the US and around the globe.

It seems each and every day, Trump can't help himself from just gaslighting and using racist-tinged language. Whether it's 'when the looting starts, the shooting starts' or talking about vicious attack dogs, he's just running off at the mouth.
Tell me, what sort of 'peace' or 'unifying force' is going to come when the President uses language that calls to mind the German shepherds used by the police in Birmingham, Alabama back in 1963?

I'm surprised Trump didn't threaten to get the fire hoses out as well in his Tweets.

Well these riots intelligence level is, lets go stand on the freeway so..

His inflammatory and racist comments seem to be having an effect. There's reports of white nationalists infiltrating the protests.
The Minnesota public safety commissioner says white nationalists are organizing and coming to the state for violence and destruction. In other words, white supremacists are following Trump's lead.
And are the far right hoping to engage in civil war?

As the coward quivers inside the White House, his bark is worse than his bite. Unfortunately his bark is so stupid and wrong, the racist he is. Get this idiot out of office. Even some of his diehard base is finally looking at him for what he is, a lying fool.
Toasted Heretic
One way or another, the people will remove this vile man from office.
But that's only the beginning. Massive change is required.

First time I've heard of "vicious dogs" in the White House, but we all know the lazy poodle they are guarding who has turned his 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue abode, that he once called a "dump", into his very own "doghouse". Millions now eagerly await the cleaning out of Trump's "kennel" from November.

America is literally burning under Trump’s “leadership”.

Ok, so let the thugs come in and destroy the WH, let the Anarchists run totally amok? No, he’s absolutely right, it’s enough.
Well, things are getting slowly back to normal, the market is making good gains, the deaths were already calculated and fractured in, but less people will die now as a result of the country re-opening and that’s great for the nation and for the President, so why isn’t the msm liberal focusing on the other side of that coin?
Thank the media, CNN is doing a great job at it.
The only people that are getting away with anything are the thugs that are tearing the cities apart and these Anarchists are ruining it for every innocent person that lives in these areas.

Real mayor, fake president.
This is a sad moment in America's history. Blame for this rests solely on the shoulders of Trump and Moscow Mitch and their sycophantic colleagues in Washington, D. C. Their past three and a half years which they should have used to exercise leadership have been wasted.
Haaa Nemui
Interesting choice of words.
bass4funk
As well as White Anarchists infiltrating the rioters, looters and protesters.
As with the Anarchists, both of these idiots need to take a hike.

Are the far left liberals hoping for one?

Yet another.
There are so many of them....

Security was holding the protester back. They weren’t going to get through anyway. The “MAGA night at the whitehouse” call was to get his supporters there. Nothing else... purely his own self gratifying need for attention. We also know when these opposing sides come together bad things happen. It was not the right thing to do. Please note too. That is not me saying I support the protestors at the Whitehouse gates. It was just the wrong call from Trump.

The only people that are getting away with anything are the thugs that are tearing the cities apart and these Anarchists are ruining it for every innocent person that lives in these areas.
When the smoke finally clears, most Americans will be able to see with their freshly acquired 20/20 hindsight that it was Trump and his enablers who were most responsible for tearing the country apart and trashing the constitution.

Oops, looks like the media got caught lying through their yellow teeth again...
update (1705ET): Despite claims by Democratic officials from Minneapolis that "white supremacists" or "foreign actors" are responsible for the violent riots seen across the nation, USAToday reports that Adam Leggat, a former British Army counterterrorism officer who now works as a security consultant specializing in crowd management for the Densus Group, said intelligence reports from his colleagues indicate most of the hard-core protesters in Minneapolis are far-left or anarchists, and that far-right groups have not yet made a significant appearance.
Additionally, Leggat said looting is typically done by locals – usually people with no criminal record who just get caught up in the moment. And despite claims otherwise by officials, records show most arrested are locals...
Of the 45 people arrested for rioting, unlawful assembly, stolen property, burglary or robbery on May 29 and May 30 so far, 38 had Minnesota addresses, according to publicly available jail records reviewed by FOX 9. Only six had out-of-state address, and one person didn't have address information listed.
Don't believe us? A searchable jail roster is available online.
So why would officials lie? (Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday morning that as many as 80 percent of the people were outsiders.)
Because the narrative breaks wide open if this is just locals losing their sh*t.. and in fact many Minneapolis residents appear to be growing weary of the violence and destruction, while still supporting peaceful protests. Clearing rubble from a burned-out Walgreens on Saturday, Daniel Braun, 34, said he was sad to see the damage to his neighborhood.

Under Trump America can't breathe! And the Dems can take that all the way to November.
bass4funk
We can breath fine as long as we can get the Anarchists off our backs, but don’t put stock in Biden, they’re having enough trouble just to make sure he stays focused.

Like many failed empires before it, the USA's arrogance and narcissism will be it's undoing. Trump will just accelerate the process.

Anyone can use a teleprompter, it’s really not that hard.
TheLongTermer
and here we go. Its Trumps fault.
He is out there burning homes and business.
A bit delusional...check your facts and reality. I see mostly young white kids doing it....puzzling, all that white privilege has vanished due to lock down?
Feeling a bit uncomfie, so time to start fires?
u_s__reamer
Anyone can use a teleprompter, it’s really not that hard.
So why then do some people think that Trump is fit to be Potus? The only public speaking skill he possesses is gaslighting and playing his air accordion. Am I right or am I right?

Actually the opposite will happen.

They have to say it is White Supremacists(as ludicrous as that is) because that is the only group the government is allowed to take action against. They can't call it what it is because they are squeamish cowards who are afraid to be called racist.
bass4funk
Because people got tired of the last President apologizing for being American and also people wanted to work, make money
No, you’re wrong and here is why you’re wrong, the media is always working 24/7 to find anything negative on Trump, they would never find or even talk about the guys accomplishments, they are obsessed with only demonizing Trump and even now, it’s Anarchists that are overwhelmingly causing all this chaos, not Trump, but the media wants to make excuses as if he somehow killed Floyd and is responsible for the nationwide unrest. This is what they do, they could echo the plea of the President to stop, they could re-air his comments how he feels solidarity with the mourners and black community for this injustice, but that would give validity and bolster the President and they don’t want that, ever. So they work overtime to find anything negative to use against this President.
Strangerland
Well it’s a good thing that while America burns under his leadership, Trump is taking care of the things that matter; making sure he doesn’t get fact-checked on Twitter.
Strangerland
Of course it’s not. We all know responsibility doesn’t lie with the leader, and that the buck stops anywhere else.
Toasted Heretic
Interesting responses from some quarters.
That the rioters should behave themselves. That black people mustn't step out of line, mustn't bend the knee, must just accept things and anyway, aren't they basically just overreacting?
Toasted Heretic
It's true that anybody can use a teleprompter. But it has nothing to do with what's happening in America right now.
This is America versus AmeriKKKa.
Toasted Heretic
It's not like one has to search too hard. The clown is constantly shitting on his own doorstep and has accomplished the end of America's reputation and international standing, which was on very shaky ground to begin with.
TheLongTermer
Trump doesnt think before he speaks, and its his shortcoming... but thats not an excuse to break the law
Having said that...he is right. Woe be to the idiot who would breach that security....)
Jimizo
As much as I understand the anger, I can’t condone burning down buildings and looting the businesses of innocent people.
I can’t condone that from anyone regardless of skin colour.
Haaa Nemui
Yeah I agree, but different methods have been tried even under this president and Trump’s opposition to any form of protest is to spread hatred.
PTownsend
Of course the US has always had serious race problems. Trump cannot be blamed for our history.
But he can be blamed for throwing more fuel on our fires.
Maybe a Trump supporter can explain why he's doing that, why he's threatening more violence instead of appealing for calm. Waiting for 'He's nor responsible for that'

Trump says protesters would have met 'vicious dogs' if White House fence breached
He ain't lyin'.
Trump praised the U.S. Secret Service officers who guard the White House as "very cool."
He ain't lyin'. Neither is Leland Vittert:

Our dear president, trump might not be the smartest of the cookies. He volunteered his views that he doesn’t have any minorities supporters.
Some might say that’s not a very smart thing to do , but our beloved president, trump has never been known for his thinking abilities.
ulysses
Another brilliant statement from our brilliant president, trump.
Apparently he has a great fear of dogs.
They are still trying decipher what ‘ominous Weapons’ means. Sharpie maybe!!!!!
Busby
Pure, unadulterated racist dog whistles thrown to his white supremacist anarchist base...the "vicious dogs" an obvious example of dogs being unleashed on peaceful black protesters in the south in the 60's...
Kent State anyone? His hate speech is just so obvious, even someone with "the understanding of a six or fifth grader" would get them....not surprising since that's the level of intellect of the person who is writing them...
Haaa Nemui
So fact check them... jeez

Every year over a 1000 people are killed by police in America. Every year around 100 of those are unarmed black men and women. Not every person brutalized by the police ends up dying, so imagine the tens of thousands that lived through these experiences and their families, friends and neighbors. Also, keep in mind this is not a new phenomenon. Some of you have only seen this a few times. Here is a website with the statistics of police murders in America. Also, photos and background information on the victims. https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/
Serrano
He's had a habit of using the word dog to talk about women. Omarosa, where are you?
At least he didn't call anyone a dog faced pony soldier like Biden did.
Omaraosa? Yeah, she's nowhere, just another one of the many failures by the Democrats to take down this president.
Pukey2
What's Omarosa go to do with the Democrats? The only thing the Democrats are guilty of is not putting down the popcorn when watching the rats turn on each other. I wonder which rat it's going to be next.
arrestpaul
There are no credible reports of such nonsensical ramblings, and rumor-mongering.
arrestpaul
Only large cities are rioting, and burning, and attacking the police. Large cities that are controlled by Democrats. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Strangerland
Good thing responsibility doesn't lie at the top, and the buck stops there. Because otherwise this would be exposing poor leadership at the top.
Busby
Putin sure got his money's worth for his massive interference is our election that resulted in his candidate getting elected...
Over 100K dead due to the botched virus response, an economy in tatters with 41 million unemployed, violence in our cities, and a President that suggests we "inject disinfectant" as a cure, accuses political opponents of "murder", and threatens to "release the dogs" on protesters...
Welcome to Donald Trump's America - courtesy of his partner and BFF Vladimir Putin...
Blacklabel
protesters who breached the security fence of the White House, you kind of twisted that. A lot.
Once you enter the grounds of the White House, you arent a "protester" anymore. The White House isnt a discount store to be looted and set afire. Any "right" you might have ends at that fence.
bass4funk
The only thing liberals care about is complete anarchy and total destruction and mayhem if that means they can get Trump out, if they have to use their surrogates or if these anarchists vandalize, riot or loot they could care less as long as it causes damage and puts pressure on the president.
Strangerland
A competent leader would have headed that off before it got to this.
Strangerland
If these "protestors" were white, and armed, they'd be safe, as they'd simply be expressing their god-given second amendment right to overthrow the government.
Blacklabel
recent events of liberal governments refusing to protect citizens and businesses from violent protesters just shows even more why private gun ownership is necessary.
i notice non of this nonsense is going on in conservative, gun owning, states.
Regardless as much as you would love to see a bunch of Antifa protesters breaching the White House and trying to burn and loot it, thats not happening. Dogs, SWAT, sharks with lasers, a moat with a dragon, whatever.
Its not happening, and people who try it will have to find out the hard way.
