            How is it "incredibly" misleading?

            It sure sounds like his talking points

              Like frank, i''m curious why you think it's incredibly misleading. Even Trump seems to acknowledge his response is bad ("[this] will get me in trouble..."). i think his response accurately reflects his political world view: that the deep divide can't be fixed and he's fine with that. Throughout his business and political career, Trump has promoted an 'us vs. them" and '"'them' is the enemy". approach and he has no interest in resolving that.

                The tweet makes it sound like his comment of “I couldn’t care less” was in response to the question of how to fix the country. It wasn’t.

                • Trump depends on the deep divide. As long as the other side seems light years away, he (a feckless, daft, blowhard wannabe autocrat) can seem like a reasonable choice as leader if the free world.

                    What context are we missing? That's the way Trump thinks.
                    Other right wingers are also expressing similar feelings.

                      I'll admit to being obtuse, but if his response was not to her clear and direct question, what couldn't he care less about?

                        He couldn’t care less if people don’t like his answer on how to fix the country. Just listen to the clip.

                        Maybe recharge your hearing aids….

                        Trumps ideas on fixing things are stupid, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want less violence.

                          That's a bit snarky.

                          That doesn't change his gross divisive tone. His solution is going to be encroaching and the rights of any perceived as leftist.

                          Lost is this thread is that the person who most needs to cool his rhetoric the most is Trump himself. That will never happen though.

                            Uh, yes it was. How much of the interview did you actually watch? He said "I couldn't care less" and then went on to explain how the "radicals on the right" are only radical because they hate crime and want illegal immigration to stop. The radicals on the LEFT, however, are radical for every possible bad reason imaginable.

                            Ultimately, PAC is right. Trump fuels division in our country, that is how he rose to power the first time, and how he got it back the second time. It's his entire political philosophy (MAGA, because the radical left lunatics are destroying it). So he makes it sound like the right are freedom fighters while the left are basically LOTR hordes of orcs and goblins.

                              You should just listen to the rest of the interview.

                              I think it is patently obvious that Trump wants violence.

                                Unfortunately, that's not new with Trump. It will only get worse and the social media rage loops will keep his acolytes enraged.
