[See NewsBusters for more.] Tuesday morning saw President Trump condemn those, who on Monday, tried and failed to tear down a statue of former President Andrew Jackson and threaten legal action against those who would engage in similar acts of vandalism. For CNN's John Harwood on CNN Newsroom these rather simple words were evidence that Trump was stoking a culture war and purposefully dividing the country for his own benefit.

According to Harwood, "he also talked about leaning into the culture war that he sees as his political comfort zone after police stopped protesters in Lafayette Park outside the White House last night from ripping down a statue of Andrew Jackson."
