Trumps Freudian slip as usual.

Has he forgotten that Blacks taxes pay for the military he wants to mobilize to stop Black protests?

Is he mobilising the military to stop protests or  protect property during the protests?

I thought the American Constitution guarantees the right to protest for as long as is necessary.

Trump says he is mobilizing “heavily armed” military to stop protests
The president told governors earlier that many of them were appearing "weak."

I have partly  tried to respond to this issue HERE

We could soon be witnessing Trump’s version - the American version of Timmerman Square – thus further damaging the already tarnished image of America under a  Donald Trump who is increasingly being revealed and shown up a racist  - by the whole world and the possible boycott of his G 7 meeting which he has postponed and would like to see take place in  Washington in September,

If he is not careful – very careful, at the rate at which things are moving Trump is heading headlong towards the precipitous cliff from which to jump into the abyss - the bottomless pit.

 Today’s apocalyptic situation calls for wisdom and restraint, demands good, sensitive leadership  and right decision- making, sensitive and responsive to satisfy his people’s needs in order  to avoid the breaking of a president, the total and final termination of his personal ambition “to make America great again” – when all that he is doing is the opposite  - disgracing America once again.

 Just a wrong decision and a pig-headed stubbornness  - a noted and well documented psychological trait that will eventually cause him not to back down ( that would be showing far too much mercy, just as  Derek Chauvin did not back down or changed his mind during that  premeditated, extended 8 minutes  and 46 murderous seconds) he ( Trump)  will be then heading to perdition,  reminiscent of the Biblical story of Legion destroys some swine

 At this very moment Donald J Trump, the political heavyweight champion of the United States of America is probably boasting to his national security adviser and the joint chiefs of staff that he is going to hit the protests (who he refers to as “terrorists” with an iron fist.  His small hands will suddenly grow into an iron fist. His little iron fist.

There’s no smoke without fire. You may recall the Rev Jeremiah Wright controversy when he prayed, “No, no, no, not God Bless America. God damn America!”

May the Almighty have mercy on us all.

 God bless America !
