US Election 2020: Can Trump unite America and win a second term? - BBC Newsnight

The Republican president is being challenged by Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden, who is best known as Barack Obama's vice-president but has been in US politics since the 1970s.

The Republican National Convention began on 25 August with a prayer for Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old black man shot multiple times in the back by police in Wisconsin on Sunday.

US Correspondent David Grossman reports and Katie Razzall is joined by Trump Senior Legal Adviser Jenna Ellis.

The interviewed woman, God bless her, sounded like a scripted robot from a parallel universe.

[gripshaft]

A weak interview. So many lies left unchallenged.

[vvs]

I mean he brought jail reforms, that helped a lot of black ppl.
Obama could have done it, but didnt.
Policy wise, trump might ne better

[TheImperialGuy]

What a weak interview from Newsnight, no push back at all against her outrageously untrue claims. Expect better from Newsnight

[marti]

if anyone really thinks trump isnt going to win, you are ignoring the idiocy of americans

[dougiequick]

IF Trump was not shaking in his boots he would NOT go on and on about "voter fraud" ...obviously he is simply planning his excuse when he loses

[clionadolan]

I can't watch this train wreck anymore. Its all crazy. No morals. No standards. Bullshit party politics. The racism and capitalism continues. No one looks up to America anymore. Is it any wonder 😔😔

[winonajr]

We need trump we don't want Biden

[michaelm]

A message for Trump:
Losers never win

[yumuvii]

For every ten million citizens only 59 died in S.Korea with no lockdown. For every ten million in the U.S. 5100 died with record unemployment

[shirley]

Absolute mega landslide for Trump. What a guy 💪🏼

[BenCoaster]

Me when I watch this video : 168 likes and 168 dislikes !
Palpatine : I love democracy

[MrMarko]

All these ‘experts’ predicting his downfall, they were wrong before and will be wrong again.

[jeff-lprj]

Trump can't even unite his own family- I rest my case.

[condorX]

You can't spell HATRED without a RED HAT

[eleanormaxwell]

There are only three things to ask yourself

Do you want law and order
Do you want a strong economy
Do you want a strong foreign policy

And never trust the BBC

[matthewevans]

I think it's less "can Trump unite America" and more "can the democrats alienate any more people"

[tobymatthews]

Im a little annoyed the interviewer didnt press her on any of her crazy ramblings, she didnt comment on any of her replies.

[lamantwilliams]

This video is so completely out of touch with reality and what’s going on here. These British people don’t have a clue about the US.

[anecologistspeaks]

It hurts to listen to this woman - ideology speaking - not reality. The US is sinking into the dangers of ideology. People seem to have the blinders on, on both sides.
