Trump’s Oval Office Address Revealed The Nation’s Real Emergency

[signalmankenneth]

Donald Trump delivered his emergency address to the nation. Turns out, there wasn’t an emergency after all. At least, not the one we feared he’d declare.

In his 9-minute rendering, some modern-day version of the Mongol horde has crashed America’s southern border and not only ripped away jobs from African-Americans and Hispanics, but left a blood-soaked trail of rape and murder stretching from sea to shining sea. He insisted that he needed a nearly $6 billion down payment on a wall to make it all go away.

This ode to American carnage is not new. It is a rehash of his campaign claim that Mexicans are “drug dealers, criminals, and rapists.” And his MS-13 speech in Ohio where he regaled his followers with a tale of how gang members “slice and dice” innocent young girls. And his 2018 midterm Chicken Little impersonation about the caravan of “stone cold criminals” and terrorists. All of it is divorced from the verifiable facts of immigration and tied to the brutal reality of xenophobic fear and hatred in his base.

The real emergency is not on the southern border, but in the White House. Since Day 1, Trump has violated the basic norms of governing and key articles of the Constitution. With each test of American democracy’s tensile strength, he encountered little to no resistance from a Republican-controlled Congress and became more and more emboldened. Now that a newly sworn-in Democratic House majority is promising accountability, he senses a threat to his unchecked power and has become even more dangerous.
