Totally normal, completely rational behaviour from the President of the United States of America 🙃
Mr Trump also hammered the Pentagon for favouring the renaming of bases that honour Confederate military leaders – a drive for change spurred by the national debate about race after George Floyd’s death.‘I don’t care what the military says,’ the American commander in chief said.
It is remarkable that a sitting president would express less than complete confidence in the American democracy’s electoral process.But for Mr Trump, it stems from his tactics of four years ago, when in the closing stages of his race against Hillary Clinton, he said he would not commit to honouring the election results if the Democrat won.
Mr Trump has seen his presidential popularity erode over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and in the aftermath of nationwide protests centred on racial injustice that erupted after Mr Floyd’s death in Minneapolis nearly two months ago. The president described America’s top infectious diseases expert, Dr Anthony Fauci, as a ‘a little bit of an alarmist’ Mr Trump was frequently combative with Mr Wallace in defending his administration’s response to the pandemic, weighing in on the Black Lives Matter movement and trying to portray Mr Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, as lacking the mental prowess to serve as president.
‘They love their flag, it represents the South, they like the South. That’s freedom of speech. And you know, the whole thing with ‘cancel culture,’ we can’t cancel our whole history. We can’t forget that the North and the South fought. We have to remember that, otherwise we’ll end up fighting again. You can’t just cancel all,’ Mr Trump said.
