The rhetoric is escalating between Washington, DC’s young, black, mayor lady Muriel Bowser and U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump is the cause of this escalation. He acts like he runs the whole country, including the nation’s capitol, where the White House is located, but he doesn’t. There are fifty state governors and thousands of city mayors in this country who have their own jurisdiction of governance that cannot be invaded by the nations’ president.

We’re seeing this clash of power erupting right in the nation’s capitol between the city major and the nation’s president. This week, Trump called Ms. Bowser “incompetent.” Mr. President, I’ll tell you who is incompetent between you and her–SHE’S NOT GOING TO JAIL, BUT YOU MIGHT!

So, Mayor Bowser responded to President Trump’s insult lodged against here by having two blocks of the wide 16th Street, which leads to the White House blocks away, painted in huge, bright-yellow letters–Black Lives Matter. That has become the main identification label of the new demonstrations against police brutality that have been going on the past twelve days.

I believe President Trump overstepped his constitutional authority when he directed–whether order by his underling, such as his lapdog Attorney General William Barr, or some other–to use police force to clear out Lafayette Square so Trump could parade through there from the White House to the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church to do a stupid, bizarre, and incompatible photo-op. We all saw it a TV. Trump was standing there in front of the church holding up a Bible, using it as a prop to say something, which we don’t know what. What a contrast that was between the man Donald Trump and the Bible. And I understand he was holding it upside down for a while. That fits!

Congress already has four committees investigating the constitutionality of President Trump conducting his escapade of forcibly removing peaceful demonstrators in Lafayette Square for him to march through there–the exact spot where this nation sold African slaves, some of whom helped build the White House–to St. John’s Church. They have demanded written reasons from the White House by next Wednesday. This issue could escalate.

President Trump keeps on performing worse and worse as one crisis after another strikes his presidency. COVID-19 struck and he denied it for weeks, then said it would be over with in days, “like a miracle.” Then he suggested people drink disinfectants to prevent getting COVID-19. And he said he was taking hydroxycloroquine, but he never offered any proof that he was. And his own health experts warned against doing that. A study was published days ago saying if the U.S. had responded seriously to COVID-19 just one week earlier, 36,000 lives would have been saved. Trump’s legacy as president will have this as one of his black marks against him.

President Donald Trump has advocated excessive police force. He once said he likes police officers to do body slamming. He said of the violent protest in Charlottesville a year ago that there were “good people on both sides,” referring to white supremacists. He said this week of demonstrators, “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd.” He made a pitiful, unsympathetic remark about the deceased George Floyd now “looking down” from heaven, seeing “its a great day for him,” and appreciating “the great, great day in terms of equality” and an encouraging jobs report. Trump sometimes says things that, if it was anybody else, we’d all agree that it came from an insane person.

The Tweeter-in-Chief Donald Trump has about 80 million followers on Twitter, which is way more than anybody else in the world. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey reversed course this week and, for the first time, put a warning statement on Trump’s account saying a certain Trump tweet this week “glorified violence.” Trump griped it was censorship and threatened to try to hurt Twitter.

Now, since the brutal death of black man George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25th, demonstrations against police brutality, especially against black people, have erupted all over the country like never before. And how does President Trump respond to this? He blasts state governors by saying they are “weak” if they don’t call out the National Guard to exercise force against the demonstrators, almost all of whom are trying hard to hold peaceful demonstrations, even lying prostrate, face-down in central downtown streets with their hands behind their backs, thus mimicking the position of George Floyd who was had already been handcuffed as the police office held his knee unnecessarily on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes, causing him to then die. Floyd’s last words were, “I can’t breathe,” which have become the mantra call of these peaceful demonstrations against police brutality.

Certain segments of police forces throughout the USA have been emboldened to exercise unnecessary force against these demonstrators due to our president. He does not believe in our way of life here in the USA no matter all his words about patriotism. I have blogged about this starting one week after Donald Trump’s inauguration as president (Do Donald Trump and Steve Bannon Believe in Our Democracy? and Does President Donald Trump Believe in Our Democracy?). The answer is “NO!” He has made it very clear from many statements he has made since being president that he believe in a dictatorship with him as the lifetime dictator. All this stuff he mouths off about patriotism is a bunch a rubbish. And him always talking about loving the military is the same since he is probably a draft dodger.

This week, President Trump threatened demonstrators in Washington DC by saying he might send upon them “vicious dogs” and federal troops with amazing “weapons.” All he does he make the peaceful demonstration movement against police brutality stronger. It makes people want to go vote right now to oust him from the White House.

The main problem here is that Donald Trump Is a Narcissist White Supremacist Who Is Dividing America. This nation is named The United States of America. Donald Trump doesn’t even belong in a country with that name. The big question is how much can he further divide this nation before the election this year in November. If we had more brave souls like the Washington DC mayor, Ms. Muriel Bowser, we might get this nation turned around in the right direction by ousting this big liar from the peoples’ house.
