Ann Coulter Picked Up On Trump’s Hiding
To anyone worried that Trump is AWOL as America implodes, rest assured: I’m told he’s tracking down some very promising Joe Scarborough leads.

“To anyone worried that Trump is AWOL as America implodes, rest assured: I’m told he’s tracking down some very promising Joe Scarborough leads,” said Coulter.

Should Beijing Support the US Rioters?
The ‘beautiful sight’ difined by US politicians has eventually extended from Hong Kong to the US. Now they can witness it by their home windows. I want to ask Speaker Pelosi and Secretary Pompeo: Should Beijing support protests in the US, like you glorified rioters in Hong Kong? pic.twitter.com/tvg0kyK8j0

Russia Involved?
I highly suspect that Hong Kong rioters have infiltrated American states. Attacking police stations, smashing shops,blocking roads, breaking public facilities, these are all routine in their protests. Vicious HK rioters obviously are mastermind of violent protests across the US😡

Nah. It’s Hong Kong.
Where the Hell is Trump?
Why hasn’t Trump made a national address asking for calm.
Newsday has an explanation.
Some of Donald Trump’s advisers and media allies thought presidential leadership called for him to address the nation, to be a voice of calming and healing as protests and riots ignited by the police killing of George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis, plunged the nation into the most widespread unrest in a half-century. Trump didn’t because he had nothing to say, no tangible action or policy to announce and doesn’t feel a need to bring people together, a senior official told The Washington Post.
It wasn’t just Democrats who called out Trump. South Carolina’s Tim Scott — the only black Republican in the Senate and a sometime sounding board on conservative African American viewpoints — told “Fox News Sunday” that Trump’s tweets are “not constructive tweets, without any question.”
Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan called them “just the opposite of the message that should have been coming out of the White House.”
A Better Explanation
If Trump thought for one moment it would help him to attempt to calm thing down he would have done so.
Strike that. He would have attempted to do so.
Instead he will wait until things calm down, then give a speech, then claim to have calmed things down and that no one could possibly have calmed things down any better or faster.

What a glorious evening.
Mish
Liberalism has destroyed all the cities in which it has become dominant.
Note to liberals, do not try to move to conservative areas, you will not be welcomed.
This clown is a coward. He is doing in modern times what Nero did to Rome. While DC is on fire, he hides in the bunker twitting a bunch of nonsense. Probably, quivering and demanding that the Secret Service brings him a backpack full of Depends, I could not imagine what a surreal scene was at the bunker. Those Secret Service Guys deserve a medal just to put up with this clown egomaniac behavior. Heck,
President Nixon had more cojones than this racist Chump. On May 9, 1970, he went to the Lincoln Memorial to talk to anti-war protesters. What a guy, I tell you.
“Where the Hell is Trump?
Why hasn’t Trump made a national address asking for calm.”
The rioters aren’t even listening to George Floyd’s brother.
“Minnesota, New York Officials Say Evidence Shows Weekend Riots Were Planned, Chicago Demands Fed Investigation Into ‘Organized’ Violence”
Inmates uprising …
Liberals are truly showing their ignorance in this matter. None of these issues Mish likes to highlight really matter because none of them address the root problem which is Police violence against citizens. All citizens, not just black citizens. Police kill about 1000 American citizens every year. Mostly white.
There is a reason the liberals do not want to address the root problem, and that is because the root of the Police violence problem in America are Police unions. The liberals would prefer to see Cities burned to the ground than to admit that police unions are directly responsible for bad cops being left in their jobs and knowing they can literally get away with murder. I challenge liberals like Mish to take on the real problem in police violence and admit it is the police unions and the practice of qualified immunity that is the real problem, and stop hiding behind the feeble excuse of racism… Of course I will not hold my breath waiting for credibility from the liberals….
Cops are mere errand boys in the grand scheme. To get to the root of our problems, you have to look a lot higher than some schmuck looking to generate revenue for his precinct.
The root problem is CTRL+P. Once you outlaw price discovery and incentivize fraud, the whole system starts to rot, and we’ve been decaying for decades.
The police and the red/blue teams are just distractions to cover for the REAL looting taking place, which involves trillions of dollars and not random merchandise small time crooks are grabbing from the shelves during rioting.
When a white punk gets his butt kicked or killed, it doesn’t show up on national television. This is a problem with our elected officials. #All live matter.
The problem with your statement is that when a white punk gets his butt kicked (by the police, I assume), a judgement of ‘he deserves this’ has been made and it had to surmount an assumption that the white person was innocent or undeserving of that treatment. An activation energy, as it were.
The activation energy for an average ‘white punk’ compared to the activation energy for a ‘black punk’ is significantly different in today’s society. (Even when both are deserving of either the benefit of the doubt or a butt-kicking.) When those activation energies are the same – then your ‘#’ statement is valid (although misspelled).
Of course all lives matter… but that isn’t the issue being discussed right now. I’m white and not once in my lifetime have I been pulled over for ‘driving while white’ yet ALL of my black friends, all phd’s in their respective fields, have been pulled over for driving while black.
What we really need to see is the arrest/convictions for whites that have been shot by police and compare it with the same as the records for blacks.
And shooting people in the back (even if they stole the cop’s taser) simply is not acceptable, and is something that I’d bet the ratio of blacks having that happen to vs white’s is quite astounding.
Another thing is the escalation of violence by either side, the cops or the perps. When I, the white guy, gets pulled over, the cops never have their hands on their guns. NEVER. So the odds of things escalating, caused by fear (on either side) is somewhere south of zero.
So, dealing with all this, yes #blacklivesmatter is a separate and distinct issue from ‘all lives matter’ and needs to be dealt with as such.
Next is demilitarizing the police. If an APC – virtually a tank, intimidation-wise – shows up at a crime or a protest, it’s a massive statement of us-against-them and is in and of itself an escalation of tensions. There is much less us-vs-them when a police chief or a mayor sits on the edge of the stage or goes walking with the protesters and starts talking to the people than if an APC pulls up.
Lastly, is police training. It’s generally regarded in most areas as being extremely poor in all areas, worst of which is community policing. I’d suggest putting all cop wanna-be’s in a mixed race kindergarten for a month. Kids are totally colour blind and just want to get along with their new playmates. That might just change a few soon to be cops attitudes about colour. Immersion therapy, if you’d like. Where I live and other countries/areas that I know first hand about, there are no more cops walking the streets of their patrol neighbourhoods. No more integration with the people, maybe even understanding their cultural differences and such, no more helping little kids who got an owee, no more helping citizens with directions.
So, putting it all together, you are far more likely to have an aggressive encounter, and more encounters with police if you are black, the police are starting to be so militarized that people feel threatened (rightfully) by their own COMMUNITY police – which is plain sad – police are under-trained, in general, on deescalation techniques and too frequently present themselves aggressively to black people when even in benign situations. The root cause of all of this needs to be dug up and dealt with. We’ve tried arming the cops better and it made things worse, so a different tactic is needed. I’d say that exposure therapy is the solution. Cops should get good boots and hit the ground walking in their designated communities. If they spent the money used to militarize the police on getting the black people what they need most, which is security, and getting all underprivileged people some advantages back, like good schooling right up through trade schools or university or college, only then will the country begin to feel united. So, first things first: #blacklivesmatter.
Of course he has a choice. He could always say no. After all the bunker is designed to protect the inhabitants from a terrorist attack. I would hardly compare the current street protests to a terrorist attack. Wimp.
Mish, you are really sounding like a libtard. The decision as you probably know, to secure the President, is made by the secret service, and the President really does not have any say in the matter. No matter who was the President, the protocol would have been the same. Posting articles like this only damages your credibility and makes you look like a political tool…..
Ridiculous.
He doesn’t have any say in the matter? I highly doubt that. He’s got huge hands and is going to dominate everyone on the streets! Right after he climbs out from under the table in his bunker.
As juvenile as the above is, this is the tenor of the conversation set by the president. He’s the one talking tough and telling everyone he’s sending in the troops.
Think about how different the response would have been if, in the middle of speeches and action to calm an inflamed nation, there was a threat to the president from violent protests outside the White House. The president was taken to a safe area while the threat was assessed. There would be sympathy for the decision and relief that nothing further happened. The current narrative is a direct result of the divisive nature of this president.
The Democratic party is divisive. They divide Americans into racial groups to exploit them for political purposes.
In Seattle, they are injecting ethnic studies into math class. At least one college professor has said that “math is whiteness.” Democrats inject race into everything.
They have no interest at all in a color blind society.
I didn’t say a thing about race or color of anyone’s skin. At all.
You, however, appear to be very concerned about that.
But then, how much do you actually know? Apparently nothing. You are just another opinionated idiot. Let me educate you a little. The Secret Service is in the position to protect the President. They assess situations and if necessary tell the President he must move. They do not explain their decisions, and they are not up for debate. They are the experts and the President trusts them to make the right decisions.
“President really does not have any say in the matter. “
Weak and Sad
It is the Secret Services job to protect the president. Some 60 Secret Service agents apparently were injured by the mob outside the White House. It was not at all a peaceful situation.
Trump finally made a speech today after 6 days of protests — and failed to discuss the message of millions of peaceful protestors: that there is too much police brutality in the United States. Between an epic failure to lead re: conoravirus and now this epic failure to grasp the meaning of this historic moment, it’s starting to look like Trump just got lucky for a few years there, but he’s actually a political dope. George Will nailed it today with “this weak person’s idea of a strong man.”
I hear Trump is urging the police to get tougher on the protestors. Isn’t the police getting tough what precipitated the protests in the first place?
Yet another incompetent empty suit occupying the oval office.what a shocker lol!
Mish, I agree with you 100%. Why he wouldn’t make some statements to calm folks while still saying that law and order will be preserved is beyond me. Folks, you got bad choices for President. Anybody into sailing here? The country is without a keel, rudder, paddle, has a small hole in the hull, no flares, no radio, food and water rations getting lower and we’re in the middle of the ocean.
Maybe his bone spurs were flaring up.
And what has the mayor of DC done to quell the violence in the city? It’s the mayor’s responsibility to make sure law enforcement brings the crowd under control.
It’s the president’s job to calm a nation.
The “nation” is not rioting, only the liberal cities. Liberals are showing the world that they are uncivilized and violent by their nature…..
Yeah right. Go back to your Fox News. Every try reading news from outside your own country, so you could get impartial news. Further, even if that were true (it isn’t), why do the rednecks (sorry, right-wingnuts) buy all the guns and show all their racism for the world to see. Maybe it is time for the left to have a show of force. Your kind bring all kinds of guns, mostly of the people-killing kind (AR-15 for example) to peaceful protests. It’s for intimidation. So if the right-wingers get a black eye from the libs, maybe they asked for it.
She’s letting trump twist in the wind. He’s been an asshole to mayors everywhere for years now… time to reap what he sowed.
Washington DC is a federal district under direct Federal rule. Trump is chief executive.
He could log out of twitter, take his tail from between his legs, stop cowering in a bunker, and take charge. But that requires leadership and sticking to a situation long enough to solve it, and Trump has a long history of fleeing from the problems he has caused and leaving others to hold the bag including employees, creditors and business partners.
Freedom Fighters according to Rumsfeld.
Rumsfeld has the best quotes… he’s my favorite mass murderer.
Oh come on, at least he wasn’t playing golf 😉
He cheats and lies about his golf scores as well. You can tell an awful lot about a man from his behavior on a golf course. Unfortunately Trumps character is sorely lacking. It says a lot when a man like Rory McIlroy says he would never play a round of golf again with the Trumpster.
He was ‘t playing golf but he was in a bunker. Aaaahahahahahahahaha!!!!
I think it’s all bullish.
Do you feel slighted that Mish Talk was left off – link to armstrongeconomics.com
For those of you here that are myopic , the riots are taking place in liberal controlled cities and states. Perhaps you should look to the mayors and governors to take care of their own mess. Why does Trump have any responsibility here?
Wow! Perhaps to try and calm the situation? After all he is only the president.
How do you “calm” people who riot over basketball games? Looting is not an act of seeking social justice, it is a criminal act committed by criminals.
Rather than trying to calm the situation, Trump dared the protesters to riot and loot by retweeting that racist slogan used to justify shooting blacks in the 60’s “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” After that, I was expecting the rioting and looting to escalate.
Trump started on the right foot, saying he was outraged by what happened to Floyd, and would see that justice was done. Had he stopped there, and then encouraged people to give the system time to work, we most likely wouldn’t have ended up here.
You Trumptards need to break out of your absurd narratives and actually pay attention.
Some of the biggest riots, with deaths, have occurred in Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia, Utah, Iowa, South Dakota, Alabama and Idaho.
Take off the MAGA hat that causes your brain to shrink. Turn off FOX News. Live in the real world.
All police union chiefs are MAGA. You lose.
The work at the pleasure of the elected city councils and mayors. The buck stops there. They don’t give a rat’s ass about “black lives matter” or they would STOP it. It is in their power to do it, and they don’t. Liberals, look in the mirror!
It must be a difficult life to blame every problem on “liberals.”
All those ‘librul’ controlled states like Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin?
All those states are imposing curfews and they are obviously hot-beds of liberal thought. Maybe our president should come ‘dominate’ them.
Trump can’t calm them down. The protesters are Trump haters. The same people who rioted during the women’s march the day after he was sworn in.
“Trump can’t calm them down.”
At least he’s good for something.
The more expensive it ends up getting to strangle someone, the less strangling the stranglers can afford to engage in, before they can no longer afford to stay in the strangling business….
What the hell could Trump say? It’s not like he is eloquent, like Obama. It isn’t like he is a good study of viruses and national tragedies, Like George W Bush. He has none of the advantages and all the disadvantages, like being born with a silver spoon in his mouth and deferring the draft five times for joke reasons, that can’t help him be human.
You are kidding right? Trump inherited hundreds of millions from his father. And pissed most of it away. Trump owned businesses filed for bankruptcy 6 times between 1991 and 2009. If we ever get a look at his tax returns it will show Trump to be an awful less successful than he would have us believe.
Ha, kidding according to how you read the post. I said his disadvantage of being born with silver spoon (euphemism for being born into great wealth) makes it hard for him to be human… because of his wealth he doesn’t understand the everyman. But it’s not the first time I’ve spoken too abstractly, so you caught me red handed.
Maybe that’s it. Trump’s plan is to drive the US into bankruptcy and eliminate our national debt of almost $26 trillion. Maybe he really is a stable genius.
It may not look good, but the bunker is no doubt a Secret Service initiative.
Taxpayer money wasted. Is security at the White House so lax that it can be breached so easily?
Nah, it’s a Trump thing.
So the secret service rules over trump? Weak AND Sad.
Surely the continued outsourcing of manufacturing jobs, and wage destruction by illegals, will help solve the unrest.
No doubt the “illegals” took your wages. While Trump and his clique of welfare recipients, obviously didn’t take any of them. Just look how much of your wages “the illegals” have, compared to Trump….
And, after all, Trump was obviously the one who put in the work of actually building the towers with his name on them. Lots of hard work, no doubt. Not the illegals, who just sat there and had the Fed pump up their poppeti vaijues for them, with money garnished by debasement from your paycheck.,,
Sure, employers are at the top of the blame list, and not just large corporations, but small businesses as you may have noticed if you have ever hired a landscaping service. Also the state and federal governments, and the illegals themselves. But the folks hurt most by illegal job competition, and the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs, include uneducated African Americans, and also uneducated folks in the so-called flyover states, who often turn to opioids to ease the pain of a bleak jobless future.
How can you know it wasn’t the Secret Service who told Trump to go to the Bunker? Trump doesn’t know exactly what’s going on outside, he has to rely on the Secret Service for their assessment. Why should he put his life in danger unnecessarily from a violent mob?
It may be that Trump asked to be taken to the underground bunker, but you don’t know that. You are creating your own version of truth based on you biases.
Regardless of what you think about Trump, I think it is clear that this is exactly what happened – that’s what the Secret Service do.
I am not a Trump fan, but when stuff gets invented based on a bias, it fuels the fire.
Re: “You are creating your own version of truth based on you (sic) biases.” If Trump has shown us how to do one thing, it is that exact thing. Be careful where you point that finger. I have it on good authority that while in the WH basement, he firmly clutched the two cabbage patch dolls that most closely resemble himself and said “hold me please, daddy.” See???
tRump has been doing what he promised to do if elected. Is anybody Honestly Surprised? MAGA: Make America Graves Again. He and his supporters can Continue to blame other people or other countries, or send NED money to HK rioters
This has nothing to do with Trump, except possibly that the Democrats want to destroy the world because Hillary didn’t get selected properly and need to insure that never happens again.
Or it’s a purge of the Democratic Party. Rioters set fire to the AFL-CIO HQ, CNN, etc. because they want to purify the party. Bernie bros vs Hillary/Biden.
Or it’s China’s revenge for perception that Hong Kong protests were triggered by the CIA. Bonus is that they can bring in their operatives and institute one party rule (under the New Democratic Party™).
Without a doubt the Democrats are invested in this getting out of control. Without a doubt, some of the anti-capitalism, anti-democracy groups (including Antifa) are invested in this. Without a doubt, the far right are mobilising to “defend” against this.
Without a doubt, many in the media are pushing a biased narrative.
The risk of a Turner Diaries style race war is increasing.
Stupidity is always found near absolute certainty
On CNN there a black lady who claimed the riots were instigated by white supremacists. How anyone can keep a straight face when hearing that is beyond me. I don’t think I’ve seen a single person with a swastika tattoo in any of the news coverage.
Maybe she meant the one in the White House
In the end the rioting is just one more thing that will kill small business owners this year. First there was Covid19, now rioting. Most people are unaware that Insurance policies do not cover for damage from rioting and looting unless you specifically buy that coverage. Thus, many small businesses that are damaged by rioting and looting will never re-open.
Trump’s demagoguery is well past it’s sell by date. Blaming everyone else for our problems and praising himself and his administration for “imagined” successes would be laughable if we were not in such a desperate situation. He lacks any leadership skills whatsoever. And the current GOP leaders will not be remembered well by history. It’s like the emperors new clothes. Not one of them has the strength of character to step up and tell it like it is. Sad days for American democracy.
We elected Trump and he is a product of our own collective unconscious selves. Obama, though more palatable was no better. Neither, Bush, Clinton, Bush or Regan were, for that matter, any better. All owned by the Establishment… We are in peak Shadow times. Perhaps, a Phoenix can rise from the ashes of our collective hatred and destructive patterns. Unity, compassion, understanding, those human qualities are what’s needed most in these dark times. Unfortunately, they are nowhere to be found. Burn America burn…
“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed

Do you remember OCCUPY?
Was peaceful! But, crushed it was after couple of weeks.
Poverty, so called inequality, frustrations in general….and TOO much of a increasingly abused, unsustainable, exhausted democratic system : explosive cocktail ! This would never happen in China, no matter how many people get killed by their police …
Ooops. In answer to@Sechel I musta hit the wrong “Reply” button.
Of course. That was not hidden at the time of the 2nd movie. Whether he has scripts or storyboards or outlines for the other two movies preceding the 1st movie is another story.
Trump certainly does inspire a lot of people to project their imaginations on him. Interesting, that. He does have a horoscope vibe. Have you noticed how so much of the media have become Rorschach Blot readers, in general? Fills the news hole. And, rather like our minds see patterns in noise.
If this goes on for long, cue the Dirty Harry flicks.
Funding? No problem for the CCP.
I wonder whether Hollywood can produce pro-quality movies in under a week. A month?
I’m not a United States citizen nor a resident. I, like many people across the world, have been watching Trump era with both dismay and a touch of schadenfreude. I can’t help but feel that the US is reaping what it has sown. Corruption, inequality, and general injustice is rampant. Racial division just amplifies this. Trump is the epitome of what is WRONG in the US.
I also love the US. I have visited many times, often months at a time. I have many life long friends and countless fond memories.
Please fix your house. Rome your empire is crumbling. And the alternative ‘world’ leaders are worse.
Actually would love to see a coalition of world nations unite for a new world order and destroy the US empire. The USA is exhausted from 75 years of world hegemony. It would solve many of our problems to become a “regular” country again, absolved of world policeman responsibilities.
Yes, US as Policeman of the world, like Derek Chauvin and Floyd.
Well said OP.
Doesn’t sound like he has much faith in his vicious dogs or ominous weapons. That boy’s scared… and dc is on fire. Who knew electing a moron as president could have such disastrous results?
A moron and a total pussy. Bad combo in leadership.
“Who knew electing a moron as president could have such disastrous results?”
Anyone with enough brains to realize electing any “president” to a position of greater power and larger budgets than Jefferson had, for a start…. As for the rest, they obviously don’t know much of anything, so it’s a bit much to expect them to know that.
Trump is a real estate magnate. Crisis management just isnt in his DNA or life experience. As Michelle Obama said the presidency reveals more about you than any other job in the world.
Oddly for a businessman, “team building” and “consensus building” isn’t in his DNA. Those are normal traits for businessman. His DNA is to fire those who disagree, but that doesn’t help here, so he has no clear path of action.
I think you have it wrong. Real estate magnates are not team builders. In fact I would argue the opposite. They are typically larger than life figures who cast a big shadow over everyone else. Trump always had competent people under him doing the hard work while he took the credit and the limelight for dealmaking. He is glorified real estate agent.
Speaking from the Real Estate perspective: you nailed it baby!
“Oddly for a businessman, “team building” and “consensus building” isn’t in his DNA. Those are normal traits for businessman.”
The entertainment business is different, though. Over the top conflict; “you’re fired,” “OMG! Limbaugh said the N word, lynch him!” and twenty paces at high noon; is what gets viewers and attention.
As for anything else Trump may have been involved in: Collecting welfare from The Fed, by way of having them 1) arbitrarily pump up some stuff you happen to own, and 2) hand out trillions in added welfare at the welfare office in the city your stuff happen to arbitrarily be located, while at the same time banning anyone else from building more stuff there to compete on price and quality with yours; with all funds obtained by robbing people in every other city; is not a business. It’s just collecting welfare. It’s what America is “good” at these days: Robbing 99%, in order to hand unearned welfare to Trump and his neighbors.
Trump’s business is the entertainment business. Being an entertainer is what he’s well above average talented at. That’s where his instincts come from.
Teambuilding? Ever watched The Apprentice?
“You’re fired!”
Simple explanation: Trump cannot possibly attempt to calm down things constructively. He underestimates how explosive the situation is. He overestimates the power of police and national guard.
Other option: Trump speaks to his base.
Conciliation isn’t in Trump’s DNA. There is no room for subtleties or nuance, it’s just full steam ahead and never apologize for anything. I don’t expect him to change since this approach has worked for him until now, plus he’s not exactly a philosophical guy.
I can’t blame various countries around the world for mocking us. We have taunted them when they experience demonstrations or unrest, so what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
It shows that he realized the tremendous damage that he did to himself when we retweeted the racist “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” that he actually did apologize for it, or at least say that “that wasn’t what i thought it meant”. I never recall him apologizing for anything before.
