Trump can't do anything about the fact that California is driving people away in droves with exorbitant taxes and turning San Francisco into "tent city" by allowing mentally ill hobos to camp and shoot up heroin wherever they like. Trump can't control policing in America's major cities all of which are Democrat run.
The Ferguson riots happened under Obama's watch. The riots never became widespread because Obama was very good at placating the BLM radicals with despicable demagoguery. Such as when he said "Trayvon Martin could have been my son." and in the UN speech where he talked about American racism and a "little town called Ferguson" where Michael Brown was supposedly shot while saying "hands up, don't shoot!" A complete fabrication.
Obama's own DOJ found the Michael Brown shooting was completely justified yet Democrats to this day maintain the Ferguson lie.
Polls have shown Americans were significantly less optimistic about race relations after Obama's presidency than before it.

And to be honest most people who bang on about socialism actually don't know what socialism is and just use it as a buzzword.

LA and San Francisco have become almost unliveable in the last 20 years because the Democrats thought it would be a good idea to give mentally ill people the right to set up camp in public and shoot heroin on people's doorsteps. Job numbers under Trump were the best they'd ever been before, you know, a once in a century pandemic screwed up the world economy. With regard to COVID, it baffles me how nobody understands that the US is a federal republic. The first responsibility for acting on COVID always rested on state governors. The only significant actions the US President could take was to shut down incoming air travel from foreign countries and use Federal resources to supplement state resources where necessary both of which he did (as acknowledged by many Democrat governors.) When things were at their worst in New York, even Andrew Cuomo acknowledged how obliging Trump was. It was never Trump's job to implement specific lockdown measures in states. By the way, seven out of the top ten states in terms of death rates per capita are run by Democrats. All the hysteria over Florida, Texas and Georgia was fake news. Those states were 17th, 15th and 20th respectively. Meanwhile, Cuomo got away with shipping elderly folk back into nursing homes after they tested positive. Deficits? Unfortunately neither party cares about deficits and its a non-issue for the American people.

I don't know much about the story but is it just the two who chased him down the street during the riots that he shot , does the state have open carry and stand your ground laws ? would love to know what prompted the chase, I certainly wouldn't chase somebody with a gun.

Eric Cartman wrote: » Where did he get the gun , well theres a rightful conviction in it for him then so. would still love to know why he was being chased though. In my experience its a certain type of mad person chases somebody with a gun. To be very clear him having the gun was illegal and I do not condone the shooting.
