by NoahAny president who wanted to be a real leader of all Americans would give a nationally televised address about the seemingly endless string of murderous attacks this country has been suffering at the hands of its assorted racist republicans and other militant Nazis. It's an address that should have been given two years ago but the importance and meaning of such a talk is completely counter to the essences of what Trump is. Even after what happened in San Diego this past weekend while Trump was hanging out with his NRA friends, Trump had already abdicated his responsibility and forgone that approach. His reluctant compromise this time, at long last, was to call California's Governor Newsom and the Rabbi of the Synagogue that was attacked. Oh yeah, and a tweet. Big deal. It was the least he could do so he finally did it. Next time, he'll send some Burger King hamberders and "freedom fries" to the victims. Maybe he'll send some autographed bibles and paper towels, too.The only thing Donald Trump wants to lead is continued Republican mayhem. Neo-Nazis existed long before Trump moved into the White House but, since his election, he has done nothing but embolden them. Hate crimes have risen 226% in counties where Trump has given his rallies. Trump is a hate crime wave all by himself. He plants the seeds wherever he goes. Call him the Donnie Appleseed of hate. His deliberate silence is a lack of reaction designed to be tacit approval. His inaction is deliberate encouragement. He'd certainly never want to offend his republican base by calling out his "very fine people" now would he? After all, Donald Trump is the "Jews will not replace us" president, and so much more. Got bigotry of any kind? Donnie is your man.
