Trump Compares Police Violence to Golfing Under Pressure in Fox News Interview

 On Monday, Fox News aired an interview with President Donald Trump given from the friendly confines of host Laura Ingraham’s show, The Ingraham Angle. There is virtually nothing that this president can say anymore that is surprising, so, on Monday, Trump continued with more of the same—a slurry of lies, conspiracy, and ever-so-slightly coded race-baiting, each half-thought and incomplete sentence coursing with violence. In Trump’s brain, Biden is controlled by “people that are in the dark shadows,” there was apparently a plane “loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms” on its way to Washington, and “discriminatory” and “Marxist” Black Lives Matter is bent on “revolution.” What was clear throughout the White House interview: There is no shade of darkness that is inaccessible to Trump’s dark mind. Now, two months before the president’s political life may be over, Trump, with the help of Fox News, has taken the guard rails off.
