Does President Donald Trump create hate and division?

Sided Political Talk

VERIFIED

Anthony Avila

There was plenty of divisiveness prior to 2016's presidential election

Bob Rauch

It’s because he cares about no one but himself

Bernard Thompson

He does he all fire best to pander to the least common denominator.

It takes two to tango, and the left continuing to blame trump for their failures or shit happening in left run community’s is laughable. While I do believe trump really isn’t helping in the situation, this has something that has been brewing/ignored for a while now and the ones leading the majority of communities having this violence are Democrats. Additionally, for as much as these areas/states don’t want the federal government to interfere (state rights), the do seem like to blame them for doing nothing, when they were told to butt out.

Derrick McQuinn

Smoke and mirrors.  Trump did not cause the George Floyd death nor Covid.

Albert Long

Undeniable to me that he’s purposefully creating division, which is leading to the creation or exacerbation of hate. I’ve never seen a President be better in conflict (created by him or not) than this one. NATO, NAFTA, China, illegal immigration (an issue Clinton and Obama invested heavily to combat) into a partisan one and then winning on it, Iran, impeachment (where for months he dared the House to impeach him so that he could win and they’d lose). He’s been his most successful when in combat/conflict and, ironically, that’s when his favorability is at its highest. However, he’s been week &  inadequate in dealing with crisis. Pandemic, Puerto Rico, hurricanes, firestorms, etc and that’s when his favorability gets hammered. Strategically, when in the midst of a crisis (COVID-19), he stokes conflict (Civil Unrest) in order to shift the narrative as much as possible away from where he’s weak (Crisis) to something he’s great at managing and winning (Conflict). Uniting one side of a fight is his focus not solving or defusing the fight itself. The longer the fight rages on, the better off he is.

Regardless of what he wants he DOES create division

It's the ones that hate him that cause the hate

He is not perfect, but I will stick with the devil I know.

The way he speaks about people creates division.

All of this hate and such started when Obama was in office!  Once Trump was elected, the “left’s” ANTIFA became more prevalent and created more havoc while OBAMA sat by and said absolutely NOTHING during his last 2 months.

I would say he does want to do good he just A) doesn’t know how B) can’t put he’s narcissism aside or C) is incapable of showing empathy

Coach Alex

You don't get the nickname divider-in-chief for no reason.  Spending 4 years campaigning instead of governing will do that.  Every tweet, press conference, White House FB post, etc, is political.   He is one pathetic and petty human being.

Steve Jaffe

Let's not only blame hate on the ones that don't like Trump. Hate is coming from both sides and in my opinion. It's up to the president to try to unite. I think he is one that enjoys controversy and chaos. That's the reality star side of him.

Darryl Sykes

This is funny. Sounds like you are blaming 2 months on Obama while Trump has had 4 years to "drain the swamp"
