Donald Trump is employing a fascinating tactic in his effort to “unify” the nation.<\/p>\n

Let’s ponder this for a moment. He is trashing Democrats. He calls them “unhinged.” He says they are “wacko.” Democrats are the “party of crime.” He refers to Democrats as “socialists,” which is the new four-letter word in the Republican Party’s glossary of epithets.<\/p>\n

My point? How does one “unify” a nation by trashing roughly half of its voting population? I do not understand this tactic.<\/p>\n

I applaud the strategy the president espouses — if only he would set forth in implementing it!<\/p>\n

He has been staging campaign rallies on behalf of GOP midterm election candidates. He’s also gearing up for his own re-election campaign in 2020. He staged another rally today, interestingly, while the nation’s attention is riveted on the Florida Panhandle and the savagery brought ashore by Hurricane Michael; you’ll remember that Trump criticized former President Obama for campaigning during earlier natural disasters. But it doesn’t matter to the current president, right?<\/p>\n

In doing so, he trashes Americans who happen to adhere to the views put forth by the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

That’s how you unify the nation? That is how you bring people together? That is how you heal the wounds inflicted by the previous presidential election?<\/p>\n

No. It isn’t. It’s how you deepen the wounds and peel away the scab. It’s how you foment division, hatred, fear and loathing.<\/p>\n

The divider in chief is showing his true self. The man has no interest, let alone no ability<\/em>, to unify this great nation.<\/p>\n\n
