Treading Here in Phoenix Next Week > Trump The Intruder

"The Donald" is the name New Yorkers used to use when referencing Trump - now the dude is a self-centered publicity-hound who really needs to put himself in-the-spotlight all the time: he's crazy and addicted to attention.
He needs it real bad and will stop at nothing to get it.
The Great Showman just like PT Barnum - he's bringing his own circus to Phoenix next week: hawking tickets now
Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton Calls On Trump To Delay Rally In Wake Of Charlottesville Violence
“Our nation is still healing,” the mayor said.
Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton says he’s “disappointed” President Donald Trump wants to host a campaign-style rally in the city little more than a week after the violence that unfolded in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“Our nation is still healing from the tragic events in Charlottesville,” Stanton wrote in a statement Wednesday. “It is my hope that more sound judgment prevails and that he delays his visit.”
Trump promoted tickets for the event, scheduled for Tuesday at Phoenix’s Convention Center, on Twitter Wednesday night.
Stanton used the statement to also note his disapproval with the president possibly using the Phoenix rally to announce a pardon for Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff facing sentencing after being found guilty of criminal contempt for violating a state judge’s order to cease racially profiling against Latino drivers. 
Trump told Fox News this week that he was “seriously considering” pardoning the former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. Phoenix is part of Maricopa County.
Like Trump, Arpaio was a leader in the birther movement during former President Barack Obama’s time in office.
Stanton said such a move by Trump one week after the violence in Charlottesville would show the president’s intention to “enflame emotions and further divide our nation.” 
The Washington Post noted the unprecedented nature of Stanton’s statement. 
“It was hard to remember when, if ever, the mayor of a major city asked a sitting president to stay out of town lest he cause trouble,” the Post’s Fred Barbash wrote.
America does not do a good job of tracking incidents of hate and bias. We need your help to create a database of such incidents across the country, so we all know what’s going on. Tell us your story.
