A divisive partisan event, how so? Was it divisive for Obama or Clinton to visit the monument during their campaigns in 2008? How about when Bernie Sanders visited during his first campaign?

I'm back in South Dakota now but on the other side of the state in Sioux Falls, I'm kinda wishing I had time to get back over there just to watch the festivities.

Out that way BLM stands for Bureau of Land Management and after their site at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was occupied by right wing nutcases they would have every right to protest Trump, who cozies up to the extremists.

And another reason to be glad to not be anywhere near there. Don jr’s girlfriend, a major trump fundraiser, is positive and there. I assume like Tulsa this will result in a whole bunch of campaign staffers getting infected.

Can’t fix stupid.

Regarding divisiveness, Trump answered your question himself during his death rally.

"Make no mistake, this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American revolution," Trump said.

"Our children are taught in school to hate their own country," he added.
