"Looting leads to shooting", Donald Trump said. After being reminded of the history of those words, he tried to recategorize his threat as an empirical observation. Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, there is just too much history of him making passive aggressive threats and not enough history of him making empirical observations (that are based in fact). Trump is a racist through-and-through and he has demonstrated that every day this week.
Any normal president would have tried to bring the country together this week. That's what we needed. We needed to be reminded that we're all on the same team and we all rise or fall together, regardless of skin color. Trump doesn't understand that himself, so he couldn't convey that message to the country.
There is only one way we're going to be able to reform the criminal justice system enough to make meaningful progress against police brutality and racism. It won't happen under Donald J. Trump.
Trump has been working diligently to boost his re-election odds by ensuring that Americans won't be able to vote by mail this year. Unfortunately for him, he's not going to win that battle in every state. But, in order to vote by mail you have to be registered to vote! Let's make diversity, equality and justice great again. Let's make sure there are no more victims like George Floyd. Let's remember Mr. Floyd as the person who motivated us enough to rid ourselves of Trump and get the USA back on track to progress. Let's elect a Democrat and let's push them to support criminal justice reform.

Trump told us he was the king of debt. The US debt clock shows that Trump certainly has saddled his country with as much debt as a president ever has. While the USA has fallen drastically from a financial point of view, the wealthiest citizens are doing much, much better after the Trump tax cuts. Of course, the middle class hasn't gone anywhere and is suffering immeasurably in this time of Covid-19. The interesting part about the US debt clock, available here, is the projected debt in 2024 if things don't change. The USA will not be able to thrive if we're spending all of our money to pay bond-holders. Trump has been in bankruptcy several times and would never have amassed such wealth if his father hadn't taken advantage of government assistance in the post-World War II years and cheated the government out of taxes over the course of many years.
These facts, that Donald J. Trump didn't have to work to build wealth on his own and that he has declared bankruptcy multiple times, have put the country in the position where someone who treats money like a play game is spending our children's money. We may be able to undo the horrible legislation and judicial mistakes of the Trump presidency, but undoing the financial ruin will not be easy. It will take a long time. Let's make sure we position ourselves for a better start at tackling this problem by voting Trump out of office.
