You know, the one where <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=45638\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he&#8217;s purposefully exposing his cult followers to the coronavirus<\/a><\/strong> in a state that just reported a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/health\/2020\/06\/19\/oklahoma-coronavirus-covid-19-cases-rise-ahead-trump-tulsa-rally\/3220736001\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">record high infection rate<\/a><\/strong>. His tweet was another demonstration of his anti-American aspirations of tyranny.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1273972301156016130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 19, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Notice that Trump associates lawful, constitutionally protected protesters with <em>&#8220;looters&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;lowlifes,&#8221;<\/em> because that&#8217;s exactly what he thinks of people petitioning the government for justice and liberty. And his assurance that they will not be treated like they were previously (which was also pretty awful) is an undisguised threat of more violence. That&#8217;s all the more offensive considering that this threat was made on Juneteenth, in a city that was the site of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/tulsa-marks-grim-anniversary-1921-race-massacre-protests\/story?id=71010791\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a brutal massacre<\/a><\/strong> of African-Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Not to worry. Trump hasn&#8217;t forgotten to tell his Twitterati that he will have <em>&#8220;big crowds&#8221;<\/em> and that his campaign is just beginning. Never mind that he actually began his reelection campaign the same day he was inaugurated three and half years ago. That campaign is floundering desperately today as every poll shows that Trump is trailing Joe Biden nationally, as well as in the crucial swing states. He is losing in nearly every demographic category, including among normally reliable supporters like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=45610\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">suburban women<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=45595\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">evangelicals<\/a><\/strong>. His support among non-white voters has never been worse. That&#8217;s partly due to his flagrant racism and tweets like this one:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;ruling &amp; request of yesterday.

Seriously? If that were true he wouldn&#8217;t be saying even now that <em>&#8220;We will be submitting enhanced papers shortly&#8221;<\/em> to finish the job of deporting these innocent Americans who know no other home. This has been a signature issue with Trump, which <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=45680\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">explains his outrage<\/a><\/strong> that the Court he thought he had under his thumb displayed some measure of independence.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Trump&#8217;s toxic fury is not reserved for the Supreme Court (or protesters, or John Bolton, or Joe Biden, or the press, or anyone or anything else that doesn&#8217;t bow down to him). He is also mad at his State TV network (aka Fox News) for publishing a poll that shows him <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fox-news-poll-biden-widens-lead-over-trump-republicans-enthusiastic-but-fear-motivates-dems\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">losing to Biden<\/a><\/strong> by a whopping twelve points. The poll also shows Trump&#8217;s approval in the red by negative thirteen points, while Biden is positive by nine points. Almost every question in the poll has bad results for Trump. Which explains this tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FoxNews<\/a> is out with another of their phony polls, done by the same group of haters that got it even more wrong in 2016.

He only thinks that <em>&#8220;Fox is terrible&#8221;<\/em> when they publish something that fails to sufficiently worship him as the Messiah he considers himself to be. But he continues to grant interviews almost exclusively to Fox because he knows they will pitch him softballs and ignore his flaming gaffes.<\/p>\n<p><em>SIDE NOTE: A few days ago CNN posted a poll that also showed Trump trailing Biden by twelve points. So <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/06\/10\/politics\/trump-campaign-cnn-poll\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump sent them a <em>&#8220;cease and desist&#8221;<\/em> letter<\/a><\/strong> and threatened to sue the network for&#8230;oh, who the hell knows what. It will be interesting to see if he sends Fox News a similar letter. But don&#8217;t hold your breath.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trump posted a couple of tweets <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1273984211062579200\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">accusing Democrats<\/a><\/strong> of false advertising. As usual, he neglected to provide any examples, or to offer any arguments to refute whatever the heck it is he&#8217;s whining about. But he did make blatantly false assertions that <em>&#8220;China is paying us $BILLIONS&#8221;<\/em> (actually that&#8217;s ZERO), and that he <em>&#8220;LOVE[s] Seniors &#038; protect Preexisting C\u2019s&#8221;<\/em> (he is currently suing to terminate Obamacare, including preexisting c[onditions]). In other words, it&#8217;s business as usual in the Trump White House where lying, insults, and undeserved boasting has replaced being presidential and serving the American people.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Juneteenth, and in celebration of this profoundly significant day in American history Donald Trump took the time to unleash a stream of hostile, egocentric, lie-riddled tweets.
