After George Floyd's death, the situation in the United States deteriorated. Donald Trump continues to fuel the unrest.
- African American George Floyd dies in a police operation in the United States.
- The riots in the United States are getting worse.
- Donald Trump's reaction continues to fuel the discussions.
Munich / USA - So the demonstrations in the USA are justified in the face of George Floyd's death , rampant institutionalized racism and a growing feeling of helplessness against police excesses - violence is not a legitimate means of protest . The looting and riots discredit the immensely important movement. And play one in the cards: Donald Trump .
George Floyd: Donald Trump is not interested in the solution
The US president has not caused all the problems that split the United States. The racism is unhappy part of the country's history. The question of justice has been smoldering for a long time, inequality has taken on grotesque features in the country of unbridled capitalism . But Trump isn't interested in solving complex social challenges. It is a radical problem exacerbation.
Yes, Trump also initially finds appropriate words of regret for George Floyd's death. But at the same time, the Republican does not waste any time to create an extreme leftist danger, to accuse the democratic governors of weakness - and to portray himself martially as a strong man.
George Floyd: The situation in the United States continues to escalate
The civil war-like situations offer Trump the opportunity to distract from his disastrous corona management . The president continues to draw a sharp dividing line through society with his friend-foe ruler. He serves his followers regardless of losses. The Floyd case is a great tragedy. For Trump, he's part of his divisive campaign.
Donald Trump's reaction is highly questionable, says Mercury editor Marcus Mäckler.
