    Which the Mainstream media seems intent upon.
    WHY ?. Probably like virtually every other aspect to his
    Presidency.So they can go on the attack.Pick apart and find
    an achilles heel and then lambaste,castigate and ATTACK.
    We've been thru and seen that All before.Right now President Trump
    is speaking softly and carrying a big stick.
    Maybe he should say something to the effect ... I think I'll let all
    the smart alecks in the MSM and Press do the talking.Like what
    we had on yesterday's - Meet the Press -. Basically talking as if
    no Chaos folks.Nothing much to see.Mostly peaceful protests and a
    few that weren't.Move along already.No Biggie.
    Drudge had up over the weekend the cities that were under Protest.
    There were around 25-26.Big Cities.Run almost every one by a Democrat
    Mayor.
    Trump needs to just make it short and not so sweet.I'm done
    Talkin'.I think I'll let all the brainiacs in the Mainstream media and their'
    Democrat Pal mayors talk and lead.
    Did Obama address the Nation during Fergusson.?
    Or was he too busy living the Grand life in Martha's Vineyard.?!

    Why? because he is the President of the nation and that is part of what Presidents do. To not deal with problems because of fear of criticism places one's own needs above the needs of the country.

    About the same way with the police. If they interfere, the lefties go into a rage. If they do not interfere, the lefties go into a rage.
    Face it. They will go into a rage no matter what or what is not done.

    Why bother? We already know the looting and destruction is wrong. Those on the left don't want to hear about it.

    None of this mess is Trump’s fault. On the contrary, it’s leftist policies and elected leaders to blame.

    But Trump is president and he needs to address the nation. He had an excellent speech on Saturday. If he does address the nation, expect to hear about the same speech.

    Trump owns this big time!

    He has been dividing America from day one

    And what his followers do not seem to realise is that without the UNITED States of America there can never be a MAGA

    I thought the idea was to stop looting and rioting. Not listening and ignoring has not worked it is time to try something else

    The looting and rioting has a life of its own. If anything, the president saying anything is apt to inflame it. Stopping it requires the police and force which will in turn make them angrier. However, lots of arrests is what it will take.

    Or perhaps, the blacks speaking up as a majority saying this has to stop.

    Trump treats everyone the same. He’s color blind. The only color he cares about is green ($$$), snd he wants to make everyone rich.

    In a politically correct world, you’re seen as evil if you treat everyone the same.

    No. Force with no explanation is the only answer to this problem. No words, no warning, just action.

    If i was president. My address woukd be like this.

    The death of George Floyd is under proper investigation and justice for all guilty parties will come.
    Looting and rioting is not acceptable andvthe American people have put up with it far too often on too many occasions. I encourage people to peacefully assemble to speak out, and I encourage govoners and mayors to listen. I am listening.
    The looting and destruction is illegal and a violation of other peoples right. IT WILL STOP. One way or another. I will protect people's property and public assets.
    Just to be clear rioters will be subdued, those who resist are likely to be hurt or killed.

    End of address.

    Questions? I will give you yes or no answers.

    And that was unjustified because Micheal Brown was a thug who tried to kill a cop.

    I get it like Pallets of Bricks being made available in some cities.
    Check into it.This is a Nationwide Insurrection.
    Managed,planned and led by Organizers of Disturbing life in America.
    Like Antifa.
    I don't think it's as simple as Kent State.
    There needs to be a 2-prong approach.Concerned citizens and
    Patriots need to go out armed and make citizens arrests.
    Trump needs to call out the Military,National Guard and certain
    Sheriffs Departmen with Riot gear and heavy Vehicles and if
    necessary ... shoot to kill.Because a Brick is not used for anything
    but deadly force.An Impression cannot be made with a de Blasio
    approach.
    Protests need to be Outlawed.If Joe America can be made to
    NOT got to Work and Stay shelted in home,Than BY Golly so can
    Protests.Anybody who doesn't like can Pound salt or be a member
    of a chain gang { Hard Prison Time }.

    Of course not.. the media's sole purpose for the last 4 years has been to keep or get Trump out of office. They in that effort have become utterly useless and yes the enemy of the American people.

    I believe he has. And he couldn't have been more clear.

    "Tonight, I understand, is MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE???"

    "MAGA says 'Make America Great Again.' These are people that love our country. I have no idea if they're going to be here. I was just asking. But I have no idea if they're going to be here. But MAGA is 'Make America Great Again.' By the way, they love African-American people. They love black people. MAGA loves the black people."

    Please don't make up things. President Obama addressed the nation several times in the first few days of the Ferguson. He spoke about peaceful demonstrations and spoke out against violence:

    President Barack Obama said he has "no sympathy at all for destroying your own communities," urging protesters in Ferguson to avoid a second night of violence and fight instead for longer-lasting political changes.
    "There are productive ways of responding and expressing those frustrations, and there are destructive ways of responding," Obama said. "Burning buildings, torching cars, destroying property, putting people at risk -- that's destructive and there's no excuse for it. Those are criminal acts. And people should be prosecuted if they engage in criminal acts."

    He was in Chicago at the time.
