Trump sees an opening in the statue wars.

-

Most Americans support removing Confederate statues, but Trump’s allies think the majority will turn against a push to remove other monuments.

(The pedestal where the statue of Confederate general Albert Pike remains empty after it was toppled by protesters in Washington, D.C. on June 20.)

President Donald Trump and his allies have put forward an argument they think will fit the Americans: They may take our Confederate statues, but they will not take our other whites.

On Monday night, after a weekend full of statues being pulled from their tracks across the country, protesters just a few feet from the White House threw ropes around the bronze statue of Andrew Jackson, a 19th-century populist president whose portrait was hung in Office Oval Trump.

 They pulled the statue, hoping to drop it before police intervened. On TV, cable news carried pictures of clashes between protesters and police across the country.

On Twitter, Trump shouted that he would drop the perpetrators in prison for "up to 10 years" and associate the anti-statue movement with the "left radical" danger. Seeing it all unfolded, Trump allies thought they finally had a visual that would invite a lot of Americans. Seeing the reaction, Trump critics are beginning to worry that the president's supporters are right. 

Americans mostly support racist justice protesters chasing the Coalition statues, but some opposition opponents fear that such support will not extend to efforts to target any former president who owns slaves.

THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK NEWS This article was posted on The New York Times . It posted here by Farah Hanim for educational purposes only. By Katie Rogers and Annie Karni As his administration grapples with reopening the economy and responding to the coronavirus crisis, President Trump worries about his re-election and how the news media is portraying him. President Trump arrives in the Oval Office these days as late as noon when he is usually in a sour mood after his morning marathon of television. He has been up in the White House master bedroom as early as 5 a.m. watching Fox News, then CNN, with a dollop of MSNBC thrown in for rage viewing. He makes calls with the TV on in the background, his routine since he first arrived at the White House. But now there are differences. The president sees few allies no matter which channel he clicks. He is angry even with Fox, an old security blanket, for not portraying him as he wou...

By: Nur 'Inayah It’s a confusing time for all of us, but more so for children and pets who may not be able to fathom why life is on pause. One dejected dog who’s stuck indoors is especially upset by the lockdown. Three-year-old dog Big Poppa was snapped looking crestfallen as he watched two children play outside from his balcony. A picture of the dejected dog was shared by owner Rashida Ellis, 38, a costume designer from Atlanta, Georgia, on Twitter. It has since blown up online, attracting the likes of Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams and even Ellen DeGeneres. She tweeted: ‘Big Poppa has been so sad today, I think he miss playing with the kids in the building. He just watches them from the patio.’ The tweet has more than 600,000 likes, with many wishing they could play with Big Poppa. Maisie Williams wrote: ‘Not being dramatic but I would literally die for Big Poppa,’ meanwhile Ellen used the opportunity to remind people the importance of social distancing. ‘Stay insid...
