#TrumpIsNotWell is top trending topic on Twitter after the president struggled with simple tasks

President Donald Trump’s physical and mental health were the top trending topic in the United States on the president’s favorite social media platform on Saturday.

Two clips of video from his West Point commencement address went viral on Saturday.

The first clip shows Trump struggling to lift a glass of water to his lips, with his left hand having to help his right hand to take a sip.

Following the speech, Trump’s health was the topic of conversation after struggling to walk down a ramp.

Poll: Majority of Americans Think Trump is Racist

By Tommy Christopher
Jun 13th, 2020

A stunning new poll finds that significant majorities believe President Donald Trump as racist, and rate him as “below average” or a “failure” as President.

Trump has gotten a lot of bad polling news recently, as his approval ratings have cratered and his general election opponent Joe Biden has widened his lead over the incumbent. A new Yahoo! News/YouGov poll is arguably worse news for Trump, as the results cut at his character and place in American history.

When directly asked “Do you think that President Trump is a racist?”, 52 percent said yes, while only 34 percent said no — an 18 point spread. Even a hefty plurality of white voters agreed Trump is a racist, 46-39, while only 14 percent of Republicans said yes to the question. Crucially, among independent voters, the spread was even wider than the overall number, with 53 percent saying Trump is a racist and only 31 percent saying he is not.

Why are there so many recent videos of white women trying to use their privilege as a weapon?

People refer to them as "Karens" which I don't care to do, but it's pretty obvious that there are a lot of white women who think they can get away with all kinds of shit because of their privileged status.

I think if it weren't for the fact that almost everyone has a video recorder/phone in their pocket, many of these people would've never been discovered.

Millions of Americans didn't know how pervasive this white entitlement mentality was until now.

It's pretty astounding and undeniable.

Trump says he's done more for blacks than anybody, calls Abraham Lincoln's legacy "questionable"

<...>

During a Fox News interview, Trump boasted that he had been better for Black Americans than any president in history. He then suggested that Lincoln’s legacy was “questionable.”

“I think I’ve done more for the black community than any other president, and let’s take a pass on Abraham Lincoln, because he did good — although it’s always questionable. You know, in other words, the end result –” the president said, before host Harris Faulkner cut him off.

More people come forward saying racist woman targeted them too

More people with videos and photos have come forward Thursday after recognizing a woman seen in a viral video berating a young woman working out on the stairs at Wilson Park in Torrance, telling the woman to "go back to whatever ... Asian country she belongs in."

A 42-year-old Torrance father, who identifies as Asian-American and wished to remain anonymous for fear of his family's safety, shared a video with NBCLA showing who he says is the same woman seen in the other viral video. She is seen yelling at him, while the father's 11-year-old son sat inside their car, and could hear everything.

CNN Lawyer Responds to Trump: "Your allegations and demands are rejected in their entirety"

CNN lawyer mocks Trump campaign’s demand to retract poll – and explains ‘how free speech works’

By Sarah K. Burris

CNN’s legal department sent a letter in response to the threats from President Donald Trump’s campaign over their recent poll showing the president losing handily to Vice President Joe Biden.

“To my knowledge, this is the first time in its 40 year history that CNN had been threatened with legal action because an American politician or campaign did not like CNN’s polling results,” the letter begins.

Trump, who spent the first part of the Black Lives Matter protests in the White House bunker, has been trying to show himself as a strong and powerful leader. Critics question the campaign’s complaints because the freakout flies in the face of Trump’s tough-guy persona.

<...>

“Your letter is factually and legally baseless. It is yet another bad faith attempt by the campaign to threaten litigation to muzzle speech it does not want voters to read or hear. Your allegations and demands are rejected in their entirety,” the letter closed.

Texas reports a third straight day of record coronavirus hospitalizations

Source: CNBC

Texas health authorities said there are currently 2,153 patients sickened with Covid-19 across its hospitals, marking the third-straight day Wednesday of record-breaking coronavirus hospitalizations in the state.

The new total is up from 2,056 patients on Tuesday and 1,935 patients Monday, according to updated data from the Texas Department of State Health Services.

The steady rise in coronavirus hospitalizations in Texas will likely add to scrutiny from some U.S. lawmakers and infectious disease experts that some states opened businesses too early as the virus continues to spread throughout parts of the country.

Texas was among the first states to relax its statewide stay-at-home order, allowing it to expire April 30 and some businesses to resume operations May 1. On June 3, Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order to announce the third phase of the state’s plan to open additional businesses and activities.
