He’s going to resume crowded rallies — no masks or social distancing allowed — starting with a rally on Friday, June 19, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
For Trump to choose Juneteenth, an annual African American holiday to celebrate the end of slavery, in the site of the worst massacre of blacks (and the decimation of their amazing economic success when they “pulled themselves up by their bootstraps”) to reopen his campaign goes way beyond insensitivity — it is pandering to the white supremacists and rubbing the noses of African Americans in the bullshit of his putrid racism.
Trump does not speak in dog whistles, he bellows with a fog horn that everyone can hear, and he doesn’t care.
As for healing the nation? Word is that Trump will give a speech on racial healing written for him by Stephen Miller. Having Stephen Miller write a speech on racial justice is like having his past-life mentor Joseph Goebbels write a speech on anti-semitism.
