    Oh. My. God. Only the trump campaign could try to take the rioting in Minnesota over the senseless killing of an African American by the police into a campaign mailer.

    And "to make money"? WTF?

    It's coming from Parscale...that due is a huge liar and will say anything to get money...does not give a **** about the consequences. Perfect fit as Trump's Campaign manager. Dude's as scummy as they come.

    The Myths of the “Genius” Behind Trump’s Reelection Campaign
    Brad Parscale has said he’s taking a relative pittance to run the president’s reelection operation. But as with much of what Parscale has claimed about his work and life, that’s not the full story. This is.

    Once again, more words.

    Trump is right, this IS an opportunity for the Democrats(not sure about that money part...), but it is also an opportunity for Republicans. A crisis is always a chance for a party to win favor with the public and the party in power has a huge advantage here.

    Instead of talking about non-sense, Trump could very well work with Democrats in congress, he could very well get the votes in the senate, and he could pass Criminal Justice reform and I guarantee...while he wouldn't get a huge chunk of black voters, it would probably be a record increase. Probably enough to lock down 4 more years, and the GOP could finally make inroads on a demographic that could actually help them in their 'culture' war...

    Unfortunately, for the GOP, they have an idiot representing their party so he doesn't see the huge opportunity before him to rectify the party's mistake with a huge chunk of the population.

    He can continue to show 'sympathy' for Floyd but it's just more useless words and platitudes.

    Apparently, he has heard the phrase for many years. Just didn't know the racist context before using tweeting it...

    I actually believe that he didn't know where that saying originated, because he has no frame of any sort of historical reference....

    Someone in his inner circle absolutely told him to tweet that, there's no doubt, and he just did it without thinking, because he has the brain of a ****ing circus monkey.

    Trump brand Dog Whistles™️ are the Best dog whistles. One use and boot licking racists from miles away will come to your beck and call.

    It's the beautiful thing you've ever seen, and I make it my life's purpose to exploit and ruin beautiful things.

    Believe me!

    Or else I Shoot!! ?

    I certainly don't condone violence and looting. That being said, these people aren't looting stores to get rich, unlike the crooked millionaires/billionaires and politicians who have cheated, lied, and made their money robbing and deceiving millions in their scams and cover-ups.

    They do it for greed, plain and simple. These opportunists stealing shoes, etc...do it out of poverty and anger over a system that has failed them for many many years.

    Which criminals have more power to destroy America? Who is the biggest threat to America?

    harris faulkner asks trump shy he used the words "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" and trump first tries the standby "many people say" BS line. So faulner asks where it was from, and trump lies by saying Philadelphia (I guess to blame Democrats). faulkner corrects him,... it must even be insulting to fox news reporters to sit there and be lied to like that...

    One of the few things I give Trump credit on is criminal justice reform and he working with Congressional Democrats did pass Criminal justice. He also has pardoned several black people convicted in questionable grounds. For anyone else this should be a no brained political but I don’t think he’s capable of showing sympathy.

    I also think things have gotten so poisoned that it will be difficult from here till election to get anything done on a bipartisan basis.
