President Donald Trump stood at the epicenter of the latest eruption over racial injustice Tuesday and came down squarely on the side of law enforcement, blaming “domestic terror” for the violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and making no nod to the underlying cause of anger and protests — the shooting of yet another (b)lack man by police.
Trump declared the violence “anti-American.” He did not mention Jacob Blake, who was left paralyzed after being shot in the back seven times by an officer last week in Kenosha.
Soon after arriving in the city, a visit made over the objections of state and local leaders, Trump toured the charred remains of a block besieged by violence and fire.

ANTIFA, BLM, and all other like and associated groups linked designated as domestic terrorist groups and organizations when, Mr President?
Trump did it to Antifa back in July, yes? However, Congress did not follow suit. And there were a zillion liberal media screeds claiming Trump could not do that.
I admit I don’t know where a President’s powers end, but people here are talking like obama is in power :)
Trump respects our political process even if i don’t :)
I guess I do. If he starts making believe there’s no congress then what republic are we saving?
I’m not saying be a boy scout. What you can do, do.
But if he was gonna make an EO, I AGREE WITH YOU..make it about domestic terrorists and not giving renters a free ride until forever!!
The Associalist Press does not need me to tell them that state officials have no power to stop President Trump from going anywhere.
“the shooting of yet another (b)lack man who was attacking police”
After ignoring repeated orders to stop from the police, and reaching for a knife in his car with full intent to use it on the police. He got exactly what he had coming to him.
The AP doing a little gaslighting I see.
Those pictures of burned out businesses and destruction of neighborhoods would never have released in any other news “story”.
It would have been safely buried, no wonder they are squealing so loudly about his visit, lol
A terrorist caught dead-to-rights lighting a dumpster fire should be inmediatly be tossed into the same burning dumpster.
The Biden camp is saying this image represents “ Trump’s America “ and they will run it against him.
The slant the AP puts on every story they write is atrocious.They never fail to live up to their low standards.
“ The Biden camp is saying this image represents “ Trump’s America “ and they will run it against him.”
Of course they will...and the DNC already has the brain dead stupid vote tied up. To everyone else it’s insulting.
