Eminem unleashed the primal scream lots of Americans feel about Trump
(CNN) On Tuesday night at the annual BET awards  Eminem unleashed a verbal tirade against  President Donald Trump  the likes of which we haven't seen in the two-plus years since the real-estate mogul emerged on the political scene.
"All these horrible tragedies and  he 's bored and would rather cause a Twitter storm " the rapper  whose given name is Marshall Mathers  said at one point. He labeled  Trump  "'a kamikaze that will probably cause a nuclear holocaust" at another.
What Eminem captures in those moments are emotions that lots and lots of people -- Democrats  yes  but also plenty of other people too -- are experiencing in the age of  Trump . How did this happen? What does it say about our country that we we elected  Trump ? What does it say about us? And  again  how could this happen?
Back in February  a Pew poll asked people how  Trump  made them feel. About 4 in 10 said "angry" -- a number that inlcuded two-thirds of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. A majority of people (52%) said that  Trump  made them feel "uneasy " including 80% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. And that was in February -- long before  Trump 's botched handling of Charlottesville  Virginia  or  his  ongoing attacks on NFL players.
(To be clear: There are plenty of people who are thrilled with how  Trump  has handled the presidency to date and who see Eminem and the rest of the "coastal elites" as deeply out of touch with the average person.)
At the same time  what Eminem is channeling in this latest freestyle is very real. This line in particular: "He cannot withstand the fact that we are not afraid of  Trump . Walking on eggshells? I came to stomp."
You can very easily see that becoming the new motto of the organized resistance to  Trump .
