Well isn’t that Trump’s point - to hinder the healing? He thinks he benefits from chaos.

Yeah, a statement like that is like catnip for Trump and his supporters, unfortunately.

$20 says Trump praises Shittenhouse while in town. And muses about pardoning him. (I know, State crimes, but he’ll still say it)

He needs a big splash to keep himself interested and relevant. The convention didn’t boost his popularity. Apparently he’s fuming over the ratings so it’s time to get of Washington and stir shit just to control the media news cycle.

I doubt giving him a pardon but there will be praise for the ‘militia’.

Gov. Evers: IGNORE the Orange Stain, as much as possible. Send the most minimal State resources.

As much as possible, deprive him of attention and reinforcement for his selfish stunt.

I’m sure he’s hoping that he can inflame even more hate and violence.

That’s the only reason he’s going.

Not by name…

But we certainly will be treated to a “fine people on both sides” type statement.

Both sideism would imply that the black people being shot and protesters, at least some of them, are good people.

Trump’s evil is past this and he will only praise his brown shirts while trashing the antifacists, Democrats, and minorities.

No need to wonder why Trump’s visit to Kenosha would hinder their healing…
Who would since Trump:

“liked” a tweet that asserted that “Kyle Rittenhouse good example of why I decided to vote for Trump.”

AND
Because Trump wants to create chaos and cause violence to win re-election!

As per the article, this was a waste of paper: Donnie purported to find someone who wanted him there and that was enough for him to exploit the opportunity to put on a show of being “strong.”
While I understand that such a letter serves political and CYA functions, it should be clear by now that current occupant sees Dem leaders as nothing more than props to be used in inflating his image. Sadly, there was never any chance that he would defer to Evers’ request. (ed.)

It is all very simple. The Fuhrer is visiting to give reasons why this fine person was unjustly charged for acting in self-defense in protecting white rights, and to urge his supporters to engage in a present-day Kristallnacht against those persons of color who unjustly killed a fine supporter in Portland. Oh, and the white sheets are are sale on the MAGA website.

Maybe Evers should speak directly to his constituents instead of wasting the news cycle on this letter.
