President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

And it doesn't include the non-response to Puerto Rico.

 

Now tell me again how Sarah Jeong isn't racist.

 

Is she a racist?

Or is she mocking the racists in her Twitter feed?

 

Is there evidence of racism in her published work?

Or are we only talking about social media?

Genuinely curious. Don't read her; don't know her.

 

Of course you didn't run away. You didn't try to escape through a plate-glass window.

 

Tough guy.

Trump passes on opportunity to criticize James at Ohio rally

 

This is silly.

Obama being born in Kenya originated in Hillary Clinton's circle of supporters. And, her campaign used it to portray him as foreign, including leaking the photo of Obama in "native garb" to Drudge.

James, Lemon, and Waters have all criticized Trump. This, in addition to all being African-American, is what they have in common. Trump claps back against people who criticize them, and calling them dumb -- in contrast to his Wharton schooling, and nuclear scientist uncle -- are one of his favorite replies, regardless of the race of the person attacking him.

Trump wants an immigration system based on merit. He wants immigrants who can add value, and find employment in the 21st century American economy. The "shithole" comment came in discussions of extending "temporary" visas for people who were here from places like Haiti, where they had suffered hurricanes, or earthquakes, sometimes as long as 17-years prior. The whole justification for continuing to extend these visas is that the countries they come from remain too much of a shithole for people to return to. So, if your argument is that they are not, in fact, a shithole, then why do they need to continue to remain here "temporarily"?

He didn't call black athletes SOBs. He called athletes who knelt during the national anthem SOBs.

The only accusations of unfair housing practices against any Trump business, pre-date his running the company.

The Times begins their narrative in 1963, when Trump is 17-years-old.

They admit that they find no evidence that he set the rental policies.

While there is no evidence that Mr. Trump personally set the rental policies at his father’s properties, he was on hand while they were in place, working out of a cubicle in Trump Management’s Brooklyn offices as early as the summer of 1968.

‘No Vacancies’ for Blacks: How Donald Trump Got His Start, and Was First Accused of Bias

It's disingenuous at best to suggest that Donald Trump -- a teenager at the time -- is responsible for the housing policies and segregation of the 1960s that were widespread, not only in New York, but across the country.

Look at Boston, Chicago, and other cities today, and you will see racial segregation that's continues to this day.

He called black workers lazy? When? Where?

The Central Park Five were convicted. That Trump believed them to be guilty is because prosecutors, and a jury, believed them to be guilty.

It's widely acknowledged that women and girls from Central America, making there way across Mexico, on their way to the U.S., are subjected to all manner of violence, including rape.

According to a stunning Fusion investigation, 80 percent of women and girls crossing into the U.S. by way of Mexico are raped during their journey. That’s up from a previous estimate of 60 percent, according to an Amnesty International report.

But, Trump mentions the dangers of this journey, and the media pretends that he's calling all Mexicans rapists.

This is willfully dishonest.

He's never portrayed all Muslims as terrorists. Even his "Muslim travel ban" was never based on religion, but rather used the same list of nations, drawn up under the Obama administration, that were failed states, and which could not provide us enough information about those who might want to travel here.

Muslim nations like Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia were never included on his list, which makes it a pretty shitty "Muslim travel ban".

Elizabeth Warren is a fake Indian. She doesn't have even one drop of Native-America blood in her. She created a false narrative for herself, that she used to propel her career in academics, and politics. That you are more offended by calling this out is interesting. Folks are convinced that Tim Tebow is taking up the roster spot of some more worthy baseball player, but don't see that Elizabeth Warren was filling a spot, that an actual Native-American should have had.

Trump never called Nazis very fine people.

Honestly, if your examples of his "racism" are this wrong, if you have to resort to lies, to make your case, then it should be viewed as an admission that you have no legitimate evidence of racism, and instead are making the claim to damage him, and his reputation, for political purposes, which is disgusting.

 

Here's what I wonder: In his internalization of the world, does YankeeFan go on believing that the love fest over LeBron High is another example of liberal hypocrisy and validation of the conservative world view, even though his initial reason for doing so has been proven to be 100 percent objectively wrong? Like, LeBron High isn't a charter school. It is a public school. He lol'd at something that was indisputably incorrect. There are a long list of reasons why LeBron High is different from the DeVos Highs that liberals despise. But we don't have to get into it, because the list begins with "LeBron High is a public school, not a private charter school." So, does he just move on down the road and forget that something like this ever happened? Does he acknowledge to himself that he was wrong?

 

[Ron Howard voice] he did

 

You're the Russia guy, right?

 

Well, we've known for a long time that Trumpists are stuck in 1898.

 

So, not about adoptions? They said it was about adoptions.
