Trump: Media "Fueling" The Violence Across The Country, Even More Than Biden

[Sir Napsalot]

President Donald Trump accused the media of "fueling" rioting across the country at a media availability on Tuesday before he departed for his visit to Kenosha.

QUESTION: Mr. President, can you speak at all -- you've spoken a lot about the anarchy that you're referring to. What about racial divisions? Would you like to bridge some of those gaps?

TRUMP: Yeah, I would. I would.

QUESTION: And do you think that anything that you're saying is helping with that?

TRUMP: I think it's helping because I'm about law and order. And if you look at the black community, they want the police to help them stop crime. The Hispanic community, they want police. Eighty-two percent, eighty-four percent -- numbers that you haven't even seen -- they don't want crime. They don't want to be mugged. They don't want to have any problems. And it's just a shame.

And as far as the previous administration, take a look at Baltimore, what happened. Was it Freddie Gray? Take a look at Baltimore. Take a look at St. Louis. Take a look at Ferguson. Take a look at what happened. What they had was -- it put what we're doing -- it put them to shame -- it put it to shame. Take a look at those places. And you always had Portland. Portland has been like this -- I read an article today -- for 50 years this has been going on.

(President Trump) "The press should be ashamed of themselves. I think the press is actually -- the media is what's fueling this, more so than even Biden, because Biden doesn't know he's alive. The press is really fueling this, and they're fueling it horribly. And you're doing a great disservice to your country.

Okay. Any other questions?

[Sir Napsalot]

First, listen to the enemediots question, it is just that slimy insinuating as if 'racial division' didn't exist until Trump. And president Trump rightly pointed out Baltimore, Ferguson, (Trump didn't mention Obama's other son St. Treyvon), etc. etc.

Secondly,

Telling it like it is. That is why I support president Trump.

It is time for all of us to mentally be rehearsing little and big things we can do, so that when they happen we won’t be caught by surprise............................

My opinion.. the black community has brought this on themselves.. is it a question of the color of ones skin, or is it the habits..the dress..the slouch..all of it.. plus the dem party which has done nothing to improve their lives.. plus babies without a father in the house.. and single mom tied to barely getting by..
it seems wrong lifestyle lasts a long time.. and the decisions were each their own.

[Vinnie]

Absolutely.
The MSM is fomenting racial strife and violence.
A twofer for them. Sensationalism and philosophical.
I’d rate them at 75-85% causative.

No doubt. We used to laugh at media bias. Now it's so over the top it's almost unbelievable.

[Sir Napsalot]

>>>> Roughly 40 percent of the country, we can assume, has simply tuned out the media.

From another source. Not just the media, we also turn the backs on sports/entertainment industries. Who knows who else (other industries) is going to join the

Get Wok Go Broke crowded field.

100% correct.
