Trump's Amerca

Meet the Press  -  08/30/2020
Representative Cedric Richmond (LA-D):

Trump keeps talking about what Biden's America would look like. Well, this is Trump's America. He has to own this moment. He has to own the incompetence around coronavirus and 180,000 American deaths, almost six million infections. Almost 38 million jobless claims. He has to own that. This is his America. So how do you break this country and then run for reelection saying, "I want to fix everything that I just destroyed"?

On the first night of the Republican National Convention, as one of their videos played, voiceovers forecasted the evil violent unrest that awaits should Joe Biden be elected president. The images that flashed across the screen, however, weren't of unrest in Biden's America. In fact, one of them wasn't even a photo of America at all.

It was a photo of fires burning in a street in Spain. The video came from a website that is a common source for stock images and videos

Never mind the fact that the unrest that is happening now is the result of police brutality that's happening in Trump's America, under his watch as president.
