The protests emerging around the country against public safety measures is being encouraged by Trump-loyalists. It is a serious movement that could stress an already deeply stressed political system. https://t.co/RTA9GEFLXj — PolitiTweet.org

@daveweigel I have to imagine Obama would have benefited from more people knowing he’d helped their business survive or gotten them a job again, etc… That said, Obama ended up winning re-election — PolitiTweet.org
