Trump wants America to believe that this is an easy problem to solve. In Trump World, all one has to do is tell cops to stop killing African-Americans, and telling people to stop shooting police officers. It’s simple. America doesn’t need criminal justice reform, or better policing policies, or common sense gun reform.
The nation doesn’t need to have an honest conversation about policing and race. In Trump’s view, no hard work is required.
As president, Trump would wave his “leadership” magic wand, and make it all better.
Make no mistake about it, Donald Trump was trying to use the police shootings in Baton Rouge, LA to boost his presidential campaign. Trump is all about spreading fear. His entire message is centered around the idea that America is going to hell in a handbasket and needs a strongman/pseudo-dictator to keep the country safe.
Obama didn’t cause the shootings in Baton Rouge. The truth is that no one, but the person who carried out this attack, really knows the motive. Trump is demonstrating that he will say and do anything to divide the country.
The US remains a country of law and order. Donald Trump can’t win on the issues, so he is trying use division and fear to win the White House. A real leader doesn’t exploit tragedies for political gain. A true leader doesn’t offer magic solutions that he can’t deliever.
Trump isn’t a real leader and his attempt to use the Baton Rouge police shootings for his own advantage is a humiliating disgrace that shows why he sould never be president.
