The dangerous road ahead isn't paved with gold like Trump wants it to be?

[imanamerican63]

Trump wants everything to be glorious and great. He wants people to kiss his golden throne. But now he feels threatened and has the protesters to deter from the other issues that he faces. He could care less about the protest itself, as long as the media is not talking about him. I won’t say that this was staged, but every time Trump is in a bind something new happens to remove the focus off Trump himself. Either he lucky or he’s paving that road?

1. Although it wasn't Trump's knee that was on George Floyd's neck

It was only one step removed. That cop is a MAGA supporter, as far as I understand. And so it is as if Trump himself did start all of this terrible trauma.

Very good post!

who was photographed at a Trump rally or wearing a pro-Trump hat. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/05/28/fact-check-ex-officer-derek-chauvin-wasnt-donald-trump-rally/5275830002/ It wouldn't surprise me to learn he's a Trump voter but I also believe in accuracy.

5. He will be oppotunist for his reality tv show.

He will be an opportunist for his reality tv show dictatorship called: Let's Start a Regime, starring DJT, that Potentate of Hate, that Grand Vizier of Fear.

If you can't do your coup with a facade of success based on your predecessors efforts and results, then a fragmented, confused country that is ravaged by a pandemic and growing, dire economic hardship for the people is on its knees in the eyes of a tyrant. A real predator will lick his lips, find his advantage and pounce for the kill. It's his nature. Weakness is an aphrodisiac for him. He will use it, you can count on that.

The fable of the Frog and the Scorpion comes to mind.
