'Donald Trump is trying to start a civil war,' warns former US Labor Secretary
'Trump’s unwillingness to denounce hateful violence has been part of his political strategy from the start'

Donald Trump is "trying to start a civil war", a former US Labor Secretary has claimed in the wake of the US President's inflammatory comments on the Charlottesville attacks.

Robert Reich accused Mr Trump of licensing violence as a "political strategy" and quietly inciting a conflict between his core base of white, socially conservative voters and everyone else.

It comes just hours after the former real estate mogul blamed "both sides" for the deadly violence in Virginia over the weekend in a historic press conference that drew condemnation from around the world.

1. I agree...

this is the Reichstag fire. There will be a big ugly, fatal riot somewhere and he will declare Marshall Law, to cover his ass on the Russia investigation.
Then all bets are off.

2. DUH

So he can scream "martial law". Ain't gonna work. t-rump is on his way to the curb.

[Sugar Smack]

16. "Duh" is the first word I came up with, too.

This has been me for the past 6 months or so, every day:

"Trump wants to see a massive, bloody, countrywide Gladiator fight from the comfort of his gold throne"

"Trump's building himself an army"

"They just want to kill us and take our stuff. This isn't an American Government"

I used to be afraid of what would happen if trump screamed "martial law", but he's so clearly a lunatic. It wouldn't happen. Can't.

[roamer65]

3. Yup. He's trying to scare off the investigators.

He's trying to hold the country hostage.

[Deb]

5. Yes indeed

And I think most Americans can smell the rat.

[workinclasszero]

6. Sounds logical to me

Mueller is closing in so Orange Hitler gins up race war in America then imposes martial law.

I wonder who will obey the alt-president when he demands the arrest of Mr Mueller?

Or maybe Trump will just launch a surprise nuclear attack on NK for his reichstag fire event?

Or hell both at the same time fuck it!

4. The Koch's want their "Constitutional Convention" so bad they can taste it...

And it's slipping through their fingers.

Watch out, tho. Things are likely to get much worse... Scorched Earth and Hissy-fits are in the forecast.

[world wide wally]

7. His challenging, confrontative tone yesterday was proof of this.

I have actually never seen him that passionate about anything.

[dalton99a]

8. That's how Putin breaks up a country.

[workinclasszero]

10. Yes his plan and his puppet

are working to perfection I'm sad to say.

[spanone]

9. K&R... obviously

[blueinredohio]

11. All along I have thought this

If congress start impeachment proceedings he will start a civil war

[bdamomma]

12. don the con

is putting their (Bannon/Putin) plan into action, his militia will start something if impeachment was to be commenced.

[L. Coyote]

14. Impeachment is how to prevent him starting his civil war.

[L. Coyote]

13. With the object of breaking up the country and stealing everything, a la USSR.

Once people realize this is a heist, not a presidency, we might get some serious push back.

[Achilleaze]

15. Pooty Poot loves this shit. republicans are fulfilling his plan

sick anti-American bastards
