Amid protests over the killings of Black citizens that have lasted almost a month, President Trump retweeted videos of Black men attacking white victims in separate incidents one of which occurred last year while wondering why they did not spark protests like the nationwide demonstrations over the death of George Floyd.
Shortly after 10:30 p.m. Monday, the president retweeted a Twitter thread about an October 2019 incident in which a 28-year-old Black man was seen on a video pushing a white woman on a subway platform in Brooklyn.
So terrible! Trump tweeted.
The woman was not hurt. The man, described by authorities as a known subway recidivist offender, was later arrested and charged with assault.
Floyd was killed in May by a Minneapolis police officer who pinned him to the ground by kneeling on his neck, and the protests that ensued were directed at official acts of brutality against Black people, or those specifically motivated by racism, not random episodes of violence.
The president then retweeted a viral video of a Black man attacking a white employee at a Macys in Flint, Mich., on June 15.
Looks [sic] whats going on here, Trump tweeted. Where are the protesters? Was this man arrested?
Police in Flint say they have identified two men whom they are looking for in connection with the case.
The video clip was posted by Matt Walsh, a conservative blogger, who tweeted: This guy brutally assaulted a Macys employee because of his race and then slandered him by claiming he said the n-word, which was a lie. This is a horrific hate crime and if the races were reversed it would be the only thing we talk about for days.
Trump has a long history of stoking divisiveness when it comes to race, and it predates...

So truth is lies....
Orwell smiles....
This country can’t get much more racially divided. Racism has been enabled by too much white goodwill, racial guilt and cowardice. If blacks and other minorities can’t handle whites standing up like were worth something, then THEY need to change.
OK. I am impressed by this. Trump is fearless and not afraid of being disliked. Great qualities for the rough times we are living in.
He doesn’t seem to appreciate good advice, which is why he is struggling.
Paul & Lidia Marino, 86 & 85 were shot to death by a black man on May 8.
They could have been my Parents.
Just the tip of the iceberg.
A White person is murdered by a black person every 12 hours in the US.
No protests,
No riots.
No recognition.
No justice.
Complete and unadulterated BS'!!!!!!!!!!
The only ones stoking racism and racial division are YOU and the democrats.
Somewhere out there, Joseph Goebbels must be fist bumping.
He can do that too, but first things first.
Heard the next move is them infiltration residential neighborhoods. Brazen little bastards arent they? They will soon find out

What kind of insanity does this individual have to see self-defense as “stoking divisiveness?”
The President is correct...these people are NUTS!
Thats the only way people will see it, if Trump tweets it. Because the liberal media will never report it.
In 2020 this is a big, diverse country and we cannot tolerate acts of racially motivated hate and violence by ANY race.
I’m talking to you, Black Lives Matter. By ANY race.
Oh, really. Just how is POTUS struggling? What good advice did he ignore?
Balls of steel!
General Patton would love President Trump. I think we sometimes forget how fortunate we are to have him representing us.
