Have you noticed that Trump never (Or almost never) addresses the entire country on TV? (The only time he does apart from the State of the Union is to brag about bombing Iran.) Growing up, I remember whoever was president--LBJ, Nixon, Carter, Reagen, both Bushes, Clinton, etc.--would periodically go on TV and talk to ALL the country about the current crisis. (I didn't always agree with them but at least I felt they were trying to include me in their decisions.) When Trump is down in the polls or there is a crisis, Trump doesn't do that (or rarely). He usually stages a rally in friendly territory and speaks to his MAGA cult like he did in Pennsylvania just now. And just after Charlie Kirk was killed, he was asked by a Fox host, "How do you unite the country?" His reply was "I couldn't care less." This shows he does NOT want us united. He wants us divided. Rather than appeal to the greatest number of citizens by comprising or being moderate, he plays up to his base and the rest of us can go to hell as far as he's concerned. He wants to punish those who dare disagree with him.
