Trump always has been, always will be, a divisive president. Deliberate divisiveness. Not like we commonly find ourselves disagreeing strongly with a president’s policy, and approve of negative press. Every president elicits derision from their political opponents/opposite party. Comes with the game, and it’s the dynamic in most elections. Negative ads.
But this president’s rhetoric really has been, not simply appalling at times, but so often designed to stoke culture war between Americans. And, it’s in those culture war issues that anger at the opposite point of view is often the hottest. Emotions reign. Trump knows this. He’s a master at knowing how to pit people against each other, individually in game shows, collectively as a demagogue. He knows “the enemy within” attitude, when applied to our culture war issues, keeps emotions ruling the day, dominating exchanges on social media.
He knows all this, and he does it anyway. Whatever else one wants to call that, it’s not responsible leadership.
