Trump to visit Kenosha Tuesday, potentially stoking tensions

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, amid fury over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in the back, which left the 29-year-old Black man paralyzed.

White House spokesman Judd Deere told reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday that Trump will be meeting with law enforcement officers and “surveying” some of the damage from recent protests that turned destructive.

The visit is certain to exacerbate tensions in the city, where a crowd of about 1,000 demonstrators gathered outside a courthouse Saturday to denounce police violence.

Trump has been running his reelection campaign on a law-and-order mantle, denouncing protesters as “thugs" while voicing his support for police.

The AP is now officially worse than CNN as a nonstop Democrat propaganda machine. This piece they sent the AJC (headline too, I guess) doesn't even mention that Biden was supposed to go to Kenosha too--until his handlers decided he would be too confused to leave the basement again.

I guess we could ask the rhetorical question, as to how the president visiting Kenosha could “stoke” tensions?

Aren’t tensions already as high as possible, considering how many buildings and cars have been burned????

What are they saying? That the appearance of Trump will set off even more rioting than we’ve already seen???

But even if that happened, it’s not as if Trump and his entourage are setting buildings on fire.

If I were a gambling man, I would bet it all, that Trump will NOT throw any Molotov cocktails during his visit to Kenosha.

And Jill, you’re potentially a whore — doesn’t make it so — but the potential nonetheless exists.

POTUS visiting riot zones is ‘Stoking the flames”
Kamala toe saying riots should continue is not.

If CNN is burned to the ground, would we be able to watch it on OAN? Just curios..

How about potentially alleviating tensions?

Isn't that a possibility, too?

In the old days media reporters would just sneak in their personal opinions now and then. Now their personal opinions are in the headlines.

I don’t know what Schools of Journalism are teaching these days. But it sure isn’t journalism.

The only thing that is “stoking tensions” is AP and their Delusional Lying Leftist Media co-conspirators.

Good idea...

Remember the mother of the ‘shottee’ apologized on air (granted not many probably heard it) for not being home for PDJTs call (Of course ‘they’ will twist her sorry by meaning she wanted to tell PDJT off or something like that)

It also may bring JB and others out of the closet.

IF BOzo would have done the same it would be heralded as the greatest thing since the ‘beer summit’.

Saw a pic where BO met/advised LeBron etal prior LJ offering compromise to league.

True. The ship sailed a long time ago on stoking tensions by others than President Trump.

Their common intros "In yet another of the ongoing attacks targeting black men, the police last evening...." is supposed to be innocent? And making the victims saints instead of criminals with violent crimes on their long records? Conveniently misplacing the fact sheet on a shot heard before Kyle's and people surrounding him, taunting him and chasing him with a skateboard aimed at his head? Not reported on 99% of stories and outlets. By chance?

Stoking violence is the media and Dem Party's (Maxine, Schiff,Pelosi) job and they do it well and often.

“The visit is certain to exacerbate tensions...” Remember when newspapers reported what actually rather than what they expect to happen? In fact, this article could be read as advocating violence when Trump arrives.

I think J School has been dumbed down, as has happened in other fields of study as well.

And, many who go to J School are liberal to start with, and have been inspired by liberal media members such as Woodward and Bernstein and Cronkite. They have a mindset that they want to save the world with their reporting.

Should be an interesting election.
