(ThyBlackMan.com) Donald Trump didn’t puff his chest out and brag that he’s the law and order president in response to the looting and burning that accompanied some of the massive anti-police violence protests.
Trump wrapped himself in the law and order mantle as a blatant, naked, and cynical ploy to appeal to his base of less educated, lower income white rural and blue-collar workers.
Nixon made the slogan law and order and crime in the streets his signature themes.
As in 2016, Trump aims again to make his law and order sell to nervous, fearful voters in the swing states, and right leaning independents.
When Trump bellowed his law and order shout, he was just stealing the script from Nixon that sadly did much to land him in the White House and just as sadly, Trump at least once too.
