In his ongoing attempts to inflame tensions, incite violence, and shift blame for his own failings onto others, Donald Trump took to his Twitter machine to once again divide the nation at a time when it most needs healing. The dystopian nightmare vision of Trump’s MAGA Night at the White House<\/a><\/strong> is fueling his latest outbursts of unbridled rage. And he seems oblivious to the fact that there have been more than 102,000 deaths from COVID-19 (coronavirus), 40,000,000 Americans out of work, and an economy that is floundering in depression territory.<\/p>\n

With everything else that’s going on, Trump is desperately trying to deflect from his negligence and incompetence by exploiting the nationwide protests against the sort of systemic racism that killed George Floyd. He is purposefully politicizing it by attacking Democratic leaders and making wholly unsupported allegations against liberal activists. His Twitter feed on Sunday morning looked like a screed from a typical white supremacist website.<\/p>\n

Trump began by offering “Congratulations<\/a><\/strong> to our National Guard”<\/em> for “shutting down”<\/em> the mythical “Antifa anarchists.”<\/em> Although it’s hard to shut down something for which there is zero proof of existing in the first place. That was followed by by his taking a bitterly partisan swipe at “Democrat run<\/a><\/strong> Cities and States”<\/em>And naturally he went after his arch nemesis, the “Lamestream Media”<\/em> that he accused of “doing everything<\/a><\/strong> within their power to foment hatred and anarchy.”<\/em> Because the giant, multinational, billion dollar corporations that control the media just love anarchy. But perhaps the most bizarre twitticism was this:<\/p>\n

The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.<\/p>\n
