Trump's event will include tanks on, or at least near, the streets, military flyovers, and a rousing speech from President Trump (which will likely devolve into a stump speech)
The president’s favorite toys. Photo: Mark Wilson/Getty Images I’m your host Benjamin Hart, and today I’m talking with Intelligencer writers Sarah Jones and Eric Levitz about President Trump’s latest norm violations.
Eric: The military and the police are the only governing institutions that a majority of Americans have “a lot” of confidence in. “Kamala Harris Is a Cop” would probably be a winning general election slogan. Eric: Yeah. Although, all the rules prohibiting the use of government funds for political purposes are kind of silly, in that they proceed from the premise that the president of the United States can, theoretically, give a public speech that is not political.
Eric: Among highly engaged liberals, yeah — at least temporarily. Look at what Trump has done to radicalize highly engaged normie Democrats on questions of border security. Although I guess the Mueller saga complicates things.Sarah: I would like to believe that it will, but I’m not optimistic. The average American is inundated with entertainment and political messages that treat military service like it’s almost a religious vocation.
Ben: I agree, basically. I do think Black Lives Matter has transformed the way a good portion of the country thinks about police, but probably not the majority.Sarah: I think if we’re talking about forces that could erode public support for the police, that an amped-up drug war is likelier to do so, now that the opioid crisis affects white suburbanites along with poor rural whites.
