1. No, the vast gulf between what are the two sides of America's political divide are due to the very strategies that the Left/Democrats/Liberals have used to gain power: the grievance industry.

Every day, in every way possible,it's divide, cause enmity, and what is known as Identity Politics.


And, to show that it didn't begin with Trump, note that today is the sad anniversary of the death of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner.


2. "On This Day: PPD Officer Daniel Faulkner Killed in Line of Duty [1981]

....Faulkner was gunned down during a traffic stop in Center City Philadelphia.

Officer Faulkner, 25, was on patrol early that morning, and had stopped a vehicle driving the wrong way down a one way street at 13th and Locust Streets around 4:00 a.m.

During the stop, Officer Faulkner called for back-up and a police wagon to transport the driver.


While Faulkner's back was turned, the driver's brother, Mumia Abu-Jamal, ran toward the confrontation from a nearby parking lot.
Abu-Jamal, then opened fire on Officer Faulkner, who was able to return fire.

Officer Faulkner was struck several times, and was killed. Abu-Jamal was wounded by Faulkner's gun fire.

Trial testimony later revealed that a .38-caliber revolver registered to Abu-Jamal was found at the scene with five spent shell casings.

Abu-Jamal, a member of the Black Panther Party, was sentenced to life in prison following the high profile case, but later his sentence was later reduced to life in prison without parole." http://www.fox29.com/news/local-news/on-this-day-ppd-officer-daniel-faulkner-killed-in-line-of-duty

3. "The California Federation of Teachers (CFT) passed a resolution at its most recent convention claiming that “the continued unjust incarceration of Mumia Abu-Jamal represents a threat to the civil rights of all people.” Thirty years ago, Abu-Jamal took away Philadelphia policeman Daniel Faulkner’s foremost civil right: his life. How obtuse of the CFT to disregard “the threat to the civil rights of all people” represented by someone capable of gunning down a man tasked with protecting the public.

The pantheon of leftist saints includes the Haymarket Square bombers, responsible for the deaths of eight Chicago cops, Joe Hill, murderer of former police officer John Morrison in Salt Lake City, Huey Newton, murderer of Oakland policeman John Frey, and Leonard Peltier, murderer of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. Notice a pattern?"

The strange thing is that racial tensions increased during the administration of a half African and half White president who referred to his own (white) grandmother who raised him as racist.
 
Trump has divisions with:

Democrats
His own party
Mexicans
Blacks
Muslims
The Press
Hollywood
NFL
Gold Star families
Gays

Did I forget anyone?
 
A Democrat Politician's worst nightmare is racial harmony and that is why they constantly fan the flames of racial tensions. CNN and MSNBC do it relentlessly.

Boycotts, protests to greet Trump on Mississippi visit

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) —................................
Trump was visiting Jackson, Mississippi, on Saturday at the invitation of Gov. Phil Bryant for the state’s bicentennial and opening of the Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum.

But Georgia Rep. John Lewis, a leader of the civil rights movement, says he’ll no longer speak at or attend the event. Lewis, who was among scores of Democratic lawmakers who did not attend Trump’s inauguration in January to protest his record on race, said Trump’s presence Saturday is an insult.
.....................................
Other accuse Trump of harboring racial animosity, citing his blaming of “both sides” for deadly violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the summer. Trump has also relentlessly criticized NFL players for kneeling during the national anthem to protest racism and police brutality largely directed at African-American males.
.................................
Rep. Bennie Thompson, Mississippi’s only Democrat in Congress, announced his exit from the event in a joint statement with Lewis.

“To come and somehow give the impression that things are all right, that we’re getting along, was absolutely the wrong message,” Thompson told The Associated Press ........................................................

The NAACP, which is led by a Mississippian, has said Trump should cancel the appearance...............................

The Trump Effect: Japanese and Chinese High-tech Delegations Cancel Visits to Israel
Source: Haaretz

The Trump effect: not only in the form of rockets from Gaza, but now also a hit to the local economy, as high-tech delegations from Japan and China cancel their trips to Israel following U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

The Chinese delegation cited a travel warning by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, forbidding large groups from traveling to Israel. Japan is concerned about the security situation following Trump's announcement, and expects the conflict to impact its investment programs in Israel.

On Saturday morning, a number of Israeli Start-Ups were notified that Shen Haiyin, CEO and founder of the Chinese company Sigulato currently developing a miniature electric car, had cancelled his visit just 6 hours before his flight. Shen was supposed to arrive for a series of meetings with Israeli high-tech companies.

The situation is expected to worsen, as cancellations are not limited only to China. TheMarker was also notified that the Japanese company Toyota's investment fund also cancelled its trip to Israel, which had been scheduled for Sunday.

Abu Jamal's brother, who witnessed the shooting, refused to testify in his defense at the trial. Abu Jamal, as of a few years ago, never even denied that he had shot Officer Faulkner. What a bizarre person to choose as an icon of police injustice. It can only be because of his goofy name.

Egyptian Christians Reject Meeting With Pence in Protest of Trump's Jerusalem Decision
Source: Haaretz

Egypt’s Coptic Church has rejected a meeting requested by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence during his visit in the region later this month in protest against Washington’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, MENA state news agency reported on Saturday.

The Church “excused itself from hosting Mike Pence” when he visits Egypt, citing Trump’s decision. The Church further said that the move came at “at an unsuitable time" and said it was made "without consideration for the feelings of millions of people,” MENA said.

"We pray for everyone to have wisdom and rationality in addressing issues that affect the peace of the Middle East peoples," the church added in a statement.

On Friday, Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb, the head of al-Azhar, Egypt's highest Islamic body, announced that he was cancelling a meeting with Pence in a similar protest.

Germany Denounces The United States Under Trump's Leadership, Releases Historic Statement
Germany Denounces The United States Under Trump's Leadership, Releases Historic Statement

Germany’s top diplomat has just informed the United States that they no longer see the United States as the ally they once were, saying that leadership from President Donald Trump has led Europe on a path toward nuclear war.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel told the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum that Germany would start to go after its own agenda, whether the U.S. likes it or not because the West was losing influence around the world now that Trump is president.

“The U.S. no longer sees the world as a global community but as a fighting arena where everyone has to seek their own advantage,” Gabriel said, according to Deutsche Welle.

“Germany can no longer simply react to U.S. policy but must establish its own position…even after Trump leaves the White House, relations with the U.S. will never be the same.”

Germany: We no longer recognize the United States as a superpower

Since taking office, Trump has attacked Germany (one of the United State’s closest allies) over Iran and North Korea, has denounced their trade surplus with us (even though it was wildly inaccurate) and accused Germany and other allies in NATO of owing vast amounts of money to the United States. We didn’t even mention the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, which caused the United States to become the only major country on the planet to not be apart of the deal.

..............//snip

“Germany cannot afford to wait for decisions from Washington, or to merely react to them. We must lay out our own position and make clear to our allies where the limits of our solidarity are reached,” Gabriel said in the speech, excerpts of which had been published by Sueddeutsche Zeitung ahead of time.

You don't get more divisive than what Trump is doing in the Middle East
 
Never Forget: To Leftists, the NARRATIVE is more important than the truth or the facts.

The Narrative is that Trump is a racist. The fact is that, no one seems to be able to find anything Trump has ever said or done - despite 40 years of public life, and being quoted constantly - that was in fact racist. And particularly with respect to African Americans, there is an ARMY of Black folks who will attest to favors and breaks they have gotten from Trump and his various companies over the years. There is NOTHING in Trump's background that is anti-Black. Nothing.

The Narrative is that Trump is anti-immigration. The fact is that Trump's wife is a legal immigrant, and he has NEVER said ANYTHING against immigration or against any legal immigrant. Never.

The Narrative is that Trump is a serial woman-abuser - that HE BRAGGED ON VIDEOTAPE of being a serial woman abuser. The fact is that there are no credible accusations of Trump doing anything more than hugging and kissing women who, for one reason or another didn't want to hugged or kissed by him. Same as every other male politician in the universe. And as for the Billy Bush tape, anyone paying attention knows that he was not talking about anything he had personally done, or planned to do, but rather he was talking about the privileges of fame, power, and money - stating that if you were "Donald Trump" you COULD GET AWAY WITH SUCH OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOR. Which was and is true.

The Narrative is that Trump is - what? - anti-Palestinian? Because he refuses to be cowed by threats of violence from terrorist organizations? More power to him.

Note well that Leftists the world over adhere to the general principle of Narrative over Reality, which largely explains why it is possible to truthfully publish a long list of people and groups who can't stand The Donald.

And I'm glad of it. He must be succeeding.
 
You mean what Obama did and said he was gonna do?
