I'm going to agree only partially with you there. I think Trump's words were not on target in his tweets. He used words like thugs and looting and shooting. They were taken out of context and interpreted wrong, but my view is that the issue was too serious for him to use Twitter as his main vehicle to discuss this.

However, I think Trump was right that we needed to immediately crack down on all violence and rioting. Also, I watched a speech Trump made about George Floyd and it was an excellent speech and he was heartfelt and empathetic. But that speech was largely ignored by the MSM. The MSM has instead actively stoked hatred and violence and sought to label Trump as a racist. So they have very successfully destroyed his credibility and censored him, so that when we needed to hear his words the most, the MSM wouldn't let us hear them.

The MSM has become an instrument of evil. That much has become abundantly clear to most of us. So too has social media, which is really nothing more than a distribution mechanism of propaganda laced with crack. It's a toxic brew.
