Trump incites violence 4-21-2020

 

21, April 2020                     Trump incites violence   

Ignoring the critical need for Coronavirus testing several state governors, egged on by President Trump and Fox News, has announced plans to ease restrictions. Trumps tweets, “LIBERATE MINISOTO AND MICHIGAN,” Democratic states, is code language to his supporters to rebel. In another tweets, his twitchy fingers pounded out, “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment,” stoking gun violence. The federal government plans to channel $19B to ease the burden on farmers and ranchers caused by Trump’s disastrous trade policies and the Coronavirus. This will ensure support for Trump in rural America. To feed his insatiable appetite for self-aggrandizement, Trump insisted his name be stamped on the stimulus check delaying relief to millions of Americans.

Compounding the devastating impact of the pandemic, Trump is stirring his supporters to defy state and health mandated precautions. 1000 defied local laws and created a traffic jam on the streets of the State Capitol in Lansing, Michigan chanting “lock her (Gov. Gretchen Whitmer), up”; alas, Trump hasn’t lost his demonic magic to stir his base.

Similar protests occurred in St. Paul, Minn., by a group calling itself “Liberate Minnesota” and Virginia demanding an end to the lockdown.  Steve Miller, an economist, amplified Trump’s divisive tweets stating, “”We need to be the Rosa Parks here, and protest against these government injustices.”

This is an appalling lack of leadership by Trump, his “devout Christian” Vice-President Mike Pence and by the Republicans who stubbornly remain silent while America slides into moral decay.
