    1/ Trump used the Fourth of July weekend to sow division during a global pandemic that has killed over 130,000 Americans, shirked his responsibility to contain the coronavirus, and promoted an updated version of his “American carnage� vision for the country. In a pair of remarks – at Mount Rushmore on Friday and from the White House on Saturday – Trump depicted the recent protests against racism and police brutality as an “angry mob� looking to “unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities� by “tear[ing] down our statues� in order to “erase our history� and “end America.� Trump, making no mention of the victims of police violence, warned of a “growing danger� to the values of the nation through a “merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children.�

    “Make no mistake,� Trump told several thousand people mostly without masks, “this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution.� Trump also claimed that media outlets “slander� him and “falsely and consistently label their opponents as racists.� Trump provided no evidence to support any of his claims.
