Donald Trump’s divided states of America have been laid bare by a new survey and a fresh volley of tweets in which the president attacked fellow Republicans and depicted himself replacing Barack Obama in a “solar eclipse”.
The president is doing more to fuel divisions, according to 62% of voters, compared with 31% who say he is doing more to bring the country together, his worst score thus far on this question, a national poll by Quinnipiac University found.
The polarisation was vividly illustrated by an open-ended question. When 1,514 voters were asked for the first word that came to mind when they thought of Trump, 64 said “strong” and 59 said “idiot”. Another 58 said “incompetent”, 50 said “liar” and 49 said “president”.
Trump delivered another polarising speech to his base in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday, berating the “damned dishonest” news media, criticising local Republican senators and threatening Democrats with a government shutdown over funding for his controversial border wall.
Quinnipiac found that the president got a 35% overall job approval rating, with 59% disapproving – down from a negative 39%-57% rating in a 17 August survey. Every party, gender, education, age and racial group disapproved except Republicans (who approve 77%-14%); white voters with no college degree (52%-40%); and white men (50%-46%).
American voters disapprove by 60%-32% of Trump’s response to the white supremacist march and violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, after which he blamed “both sides”. Some 59% of voters say his decisions and behaviour have encouraged white supremacist groups; only 3% say he has discouraged them.
And two in three voters argue that “the level of hatred and prejudice in the US has increased” since Trump’s election. Just one in 20 believe it has decreased while one in three say it hasn’t changed.
Some 64% of voters say white supremacist groups pose a threat to the US. A total of 62% of American voters say prejudice against Jewish people is a “very serious” or “somewhat serious” problem.
Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll, said: “Elected on his strength as a dealmaker but now overwhelmingly considered a divider, President Donald Trump has a big negative job approval rating and low scores on handling racial issues.”

Is the ideology of Trumpism inspiring right-wing domestic terrorism — and providing the surviving terrorists with a legal strategy for staying out of prison?
It’s a reasonable question considering the recent sentencing hearing in United States v. Cesar Sayoc in Manhattan and a statement just put out by the family of the El Paso shooting suspect.
Last October, Sayoc mailed crudely built explosive devices to critics of President Trump, including former President Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden. None of the bombs exploded, the FBI caught Sayoc and he pled guilty to acts of domestic terrorism.
Sayoc lived out of a van plastered with stickers and photographs that applauded Trump and lambasted his critics. In seeking a lenient sentence, Sayoc’s defense attorneys argued that Sayoc, “found life” in Trump’s books and presidential campaign and became convinced that the president’s critics were his enemies.
“We believe that the President’s rhetoric contributed to Mr. Sayoc’s behavior in this offense,” said Sayoc’s defense lawyer Ian Marcus Amelkin.
In other words, it’s a “the president made me do it” defense strategy.

The President made me do it.
That’s the defense of a Montana assault suspect accused of fracturing a teen boy’s skull last week.
Lance Jasper, the attorney for Curtis Brockway, claims his client was merely carrying out orders issued by President Trump when he throttled a 13-year-old boy who refused to take his hat off during a rendition of the national anthem at an Aug. 3 rodeo, reported the Missoulian.
According to charging documents, Brockway told Deputy Micah Allard the teen was still sporting his hat when the national anthem commenced. The suspect told the deputy he asked the boy to remove his hat before the boy responded, “F--- you.”
That’s when Brockway admitted seizing the boy by the throat and lifting him into the air before slamming him to the ground. The child reportedly suffered a concussion and fractured skull.
Soon after the incident, Brockway was apprehended by several eyewitnesses.
Jasper argues that the president’s calls to single out national anthem protesters and citizens who criticize America is Brockway’s way of responding to a presidential order and that he isn’t thinking for himself.
In 2017, Trump said he would love to see NFL owners fire players who knelt during the anthem.
“Obviously (Brockway) owes a big portion of accountability for what took place, but it’s certain that there was other things at work here that definitely contributed,” said Jasper, who claims Brockway sustained a traumatic brain injury in a 2000 vehicle crash.
The lawyer said he will seek a mental health evaluation for his client before proceeding with his defense.

‘The Devil Made Me Do It’
But when it comes to politics — especially politics and race — something changes in these otherwise good and decent folks. At The Atlantic, Elaina Plott reports on Trump supporters’ rage at being called racist and their defenses of Trump’s most controversial statements. I happen to agree that too many progressives have been indiscriminate — sometimes even malicious — in their claims of racism against Republicans and Republican politicians. But it’s one thing to condemn excessive use of the racism label. It’s another thing entirely to rationalize or excuse conduct you’d condemn in any other circumstance.
If you had a time machine to the days before Trump went down the escalator, many millions of his supporters would be indignant if you told them that, one day, they’d support a man like Trump. “Who do you think I am?” They’d say. “A Democrat?” After all, they’d seen their opponents rapturously cheer a president who perjured himself and faced compelling charges of the worst forms of sexual misconduct. But Democratic defenses of Bill Clinton are now a part of the case for Trump: “If the Left didn’t want us to be bad, then it shouldn’t have been so vile.”
This is Mr. Mayo’s case in political form. The Left made me do it. The Left made me like this. They made me angry, and their actions excuse my response. And if you see me lashing out, don’t you dare blame me.

Every Day you come on the Forum and post Divisive rhetoric....it appears
in your " So called " retirement you have assumed a NEW Role in life.....
" A Paid Shill for the Democratic Party Via Your Union ( Conditioning ) ! "
It's obvious as hell that you cannot nor will not think for yourself, you do
not know the POTUS personally nor have you EVER had business transactions
with him. Your assessment of his character/judgement/economic abilities is
solely based on Democratic vomit you choose to regurgitate on here daily...
Maybe once in awhile you should compose a personal assessment based
on what YOU feel is transpiring with his reworking of the American Economy.
Then maybe I will have a little respect for your commentaries ....but you bring
nothing to the discussion that is at least constructive...just hostile rhetoric.
Which is what you get back in return because you do NOT understand what
is transpiring here in the United States and around the World....
A " One World Order " was being implemented that would completely crush
independent thought and creativity, with the emergence of the current POTUS
it was all thrown to chaos, thus the hostilities you " Parrot " here Daily without
any understanding of what you're vomiting.....
Think Rodent ....Use your Grey Matter and Think for Yourself once in awhile !
