    I am aware that propaganda works. Media and Democrats call him "divisive". That doesn't make it true.

    I'm not interested in what the narrative is.

    I am interested in what specific behaviors, or words, Trump has used that you consider divisive.

    The poll says most think he's divisive.
    Doesn't ask for you opinion. You'd be in the minority of the survey folks.

    1. The media is the enemy of the people.

    Polls said Hillary would win by a landslide. When will dumbocrats stop relying on polls?

    How is saying "The media is the enemy of the people." divisive? Are you aware of the media's standing? A minority of Americans say that they trust the media "a fair amount". So, even that "fair amount" allows for some distrust:

    "32% say they have "a great deal" or "a fair amount" of trust"

    https://news.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx

    I don't understand why such a thing could be considered "divisive".

    I think that calling half of the country Nazis is actual divisiveness.

    I know there has never been a divisive comment or tweet by tRUMP according to your mind. Again, you are in the minority. I don't expect you to think tRUMP is divisive.
    He can shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave and you wouldn't care.

    t actually takes some serious provocation to get the British government to call out the president of the United States. But Donald Trump brought the wrath of No. 10 Downing Street upon himself Wednesday by retweeting anti-Muslim videos posted by a leading figure in one of the most notorious far-right groups in the world.

    After Trump shared posts from Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of the racist Britain First organization (who features an image of Trump at the top of her Twitter feed), the office of British Prime Minister Theresa May condemned the president’s embrace of a political movement that is so aggressive in its rabidly anti-Islamic advocacy that Fransen has been charged with hate speech.

    Spare us the fake claim.

    Over 600 attacks by liberals on conservatives over 2 years.

    Over 50 attacks on conservative congressman or candidates over 2 years

    Over 20 attacks on GOP headquarters and buildings in arson, bombings, and vandalism this year alone.

    I dare you to find even half of those numbers for conservative on liberal attacks.

    This fantasy world you live in doesn't come close to reality. The fascists are liberals using violence and vandalism when they don't win at the ballot box..

    That wasn't a Republican who shot Giffords. He was psychologically imbalanced. If anything, he leaned left politically.

    Most of the divisive comments come from people like you. Losing and angry and voicing frustration over... what? A great economy?

    Glad to know you side with Britain over the USA. :)

    Article makes no mention of a witness so it's her word against his/her word.

    Again, why wasn't the "perp" detained by those present to be turned over to the police? The article again mentions no wittnesses to back up his "story". Both incidents will be filed under "Kavanaugh".

    ^^^^ Dumb post is dumb. It's not only a lie, but it's not even close ideologically.

    Jared Loughner, the man who shot Giffords was a Democrat and he didn't shoot her for party affiliation reasons, unlike what happened on the Softball field.

    If anything, he was leaning RW. Why did he want to assassinate a LW politician.
    Anyways, he was independent.

    It's MOBS vs JOBS. That's what this election is about.

    Are you seriously trying to argue that Obama actually had it just as bad if not worse then Trump? Obama was treated like a "King" from the right and Republican party compared to how the left and Democrats treat Trump. There is no comparison. Just look at all of the famous people attacking Trump. How many of them attacked Obama? I can't remember a single one. Let's not forget Antifa and the Brett Kavanaugh thing.....

    You just got caught in a lie and this is your response? Don't you feel dirty?

    Clinton, Waters, Holder, etc... have all made statements about personal harassment of political opponents. How do you not know this?

    I am not saying that at all. The comment was made that Obama was treated with kid gloves and that was "fake." However, his conduct in office was hardly gross as is Trump's conduct. Trump acts like the goon that he is and that is what you like about him.

    Trump praised a Montana politician for body-slamming a reporter.

    If it's okay for the American president to support violence what does that tell you?

    Persons who keep calling for the presumption of innocence when it fits their agenda, don't care so much about the presumption of innocence when it doesn't fit their agenda... I've just had a post deleted for calling someone a hypocrite, but why can't you use the right word when you justify it in your post?

    Trump said it was really cool when that reporter was body slammed by the Republican guy. Until the Republican Party condemns him the Left has the right to support violence against Republicans

    So many whining tRUMPers. Just like the king tRUMP himself.
    Did you ever hear obama go after and call out any of the press? Especially on a near daily basis.

    There is a saying all tRUMPs and tRUMPettes should heed, If you can't take it, don't dish it out.
    tRUMP in in constant attack mode, started even before he was elected. tRUMP rips into every thing and everyone, that isn't in his snowflake corner.
