'Donald Trump is trying to start a civil war,' warns former US Labor Secretary'Trumps unwillingness to denounce hateful violence has been part of his political strategy from the start'
Lucy Pasha-Robinson 3 hours ago
Donald Trump is "trying to start a civil war", a former US Labor Secretary has claimed in the wake of the US President's inflammatory comments on the Charlottesville attacks.
Robert Reich accused Mr Trump of licensing violence as a "political strategy" and quietly inciting a conflict between his core base of white, socially conservative voters and everyone else.
It comes just hours after the former real estate mogul blamed "both sides" for the deadly violence in Virginia over the weekend in a historic press conference that drew condemnation from around the world.

Then all bets are off.

"Trump wants to see a massive, bloody, countrywide Gladiator fight from the comfort of his gold throne"
"Trump's building himself an army"
"They just want to kill us and take our stuff. This isn't an American Government"
I used to be afraid of what would happen if trump screamed "martial law", but he's so clearly a lunatic. It wouldn't happen. Can't.

I wonder who will obey the alt-president when he demands the arrest of Mr Mueller?
Or maybe Trump will just launch a surprise nuclear attack on NK for his reichstag fire event?
Or hell both at the same time fuck it!
