Live from Albuquerque; THE "DEVISIVE" TRUMP TRAGEDY

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/chaotic-scene-erupts-trump-rally-mexico/story?id=39354635
It will become increasingly obvious that Trump is hiring (and inspiring) violent activity at his rallies to gain media attention, sympathy from racists, sexists and hate groups, like the KKK.

The day after: Protesters, Trump supporters trade blame, take stock

Trump “brings hatred and divisiveness everywhere he goes,” Lujan said.

The SouthWest Organizing Project trained about 20 volunteers as peacekeepers — obvious in their yellow vests — to de-escalate conflicts. They, too, endured the rock- and bottle-throwing, he said. They held hands, at one point, to form a human barrier between protesters and police officers.

City Councilor Ken Sanchez, a Democrat, thanked APD for its work. “Last night,” he said, “officers had literally hundreds of opportunities to engage the protestors with violence, but instead, at their own peril, they patiently redirected them until they dispersed.”

Sanchez added that the “violence that erupted last night was not the result of peaceful protests by local community action groups, but rather was the result of incitement by a small but organized group of trouble makers whose sole intent was to act out.” http://www.abqjournal.com/780609/the-day-after-protesters-trump-supporters-trade-blame-take-stock.html

Gov. Martinez won’t attend Trump rally in Albuquerque
By Dan Boyd / Capitol Bureau Chief
Monday, May 23rd, 2016 at 4:11pm

Gov. Susana Martinez will not be in the audience when presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump makes a high-profile campaign stop in Albuquerque tomorrow night.

Martinez told reporters after a news conference in Albuquerque today that she will not attend the event.

When asked why, the two-term GOP governor said she was “really busy.”

“I’m the governor of New Mexico and I’m really focused on what’s going on here in New Mexico — just like the announcement we just did with 100 new high-tech and research jobs, improving the education for our kids, another job announcement tomorrow,” Martinez said. “Those are the things that I’m concentrating on and I’m going to keep concentrating on.”

Martinez, who is the chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association, has thus far remained mum on whether she’ll back Trump. Her stance has drawn scrutiny from national Democratic groups, who have called on her to state a position.

KOB 4 NBC TV reports
New Mexico's Republican Governor, Susana Martinez, has publicly stated her opposition to Trump's plan to build a large wall separating the U.S. and Mexico and has yet to endorse him. Her spokesman, Chris Sanchez, has not said whether or not she will attend Tuesday's event at this point.

But the head of the Democratic Party in New Mexico did not hold back from criticizing both Trump and Martinez.

"Donald Trump's racist rhetoric and reckless policy ideas are not welcome in New Mexico. Trump's candidacy has brought the worst out in our country, and as Democrats we denounce his harmful attitudes toward our Hispanic communities, his offensive comments about women, and his outlandish policy ideas," Democratic Party of New Mexico Chairwoman Debra Haaland said in a statement Thursday. "Governor Martinez's skittish behavior about giving him her support is a clear indication of how divisive his candidacy has been." http://www.kob.com/albuquerque-news/donald-trump-rally-set-in-albuquerque/4143508/#.V0RhTeSm0n7


The news on a local radio station 99.5 FM also reported Martinez disapproved of several comments by Trump; but the picture is from a similar report at KOAT ABC TV 7:

What we've learned about Trump's world view

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump has already upended American politics. Now he might do the same to the rest of the world.
In a series of recent interviews fleshing out his foreign policy in the wake of the Brussels attacks, the Republican front-runner has questioned the modern relevance of U.S. alliances that have underpinned security in Europe and Asia since World War II.

He's suggested using economic warfare to halt China's territorial moves in the South China Sea and raised the prospect of a fundamental reconsideration of nuclear doctrine by musing about South Korea and Japan acquiring their own atomic arsenal. He says the U.S. should boycott Saudi Arabian oil if the kingdom doesn't send ground troops to fight ISIS and believes NATO is an anachronism. And he warns he will renegotiate bedrock free trade deals, a prospect that could send serious reverberations through the global economy. http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/29/politics/election-2016-trump-foreign-policy/

He only made money by using organized crime to chase old people out of their apartments so he could turn them into condos.

Almost all of his other business ventures turn to shit.

Of course, racism and antisemitism, sexism are foolish practices. It is a shame that so many of them live in the USA
