Though media coverage Wednesday focused largely on Donald Trump’s Tuesday state of the union, comments from the president made hours before the annual event provide insight into his view of the country’s current status.
PBS Newshour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor attended a lunch with the president and other television anchors, tweeting about his comments on societal divisions in the United States.
“I want to see our country united. I want to bring our country back from a tremendous divisiveness,” Trump reportedly said, discussing longstanding rifts and citing historical examples like the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.
“I would love to be able to bring back our country into a great form of unity,” he also said. “Without a major event where people pull together, that’s hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event because usually that major event is not a good thing.”
The president was presumably referencing historical “major events” like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, both of which resulted in the United States waging war. However, based on Alcindor’s report, it is unclear whether he specified what other events he was alluding to.

Was that his way of calling out the Deep State? Trump seems like he would be a believer that 9/11 was a setup....
Please say it isnt so. I dont thinkmi can handle another event in my lifetime like 911.
Yeah, something like I dunno the new yuan for oil redeemable in gold futures contract this month around the Solar Eclipse and Chinese New Year. Although time will tell time best, haha I shall wait and see. Oh Right short-term dollar weakness as the reserve sys is shaken up and set up right. What a time to be alive or what!
Unfortunately, there is much truth in the idea that traumatic events bring people together.
This President speaks one thing and completely does another thing.
I really do not believe a word he says. If he wanted to Unite he would quit with the harsh tweets and quit being a bully with people just because they believe differently than he and his narrow minded Base.
HE is just a pathological liar who has divided this Country like no other President before him
