    And this is the liberal logic. You make something racist because you merely want it to be racist. You and your ilk are watering down the term racist which is absolutely disingenuous to those who have actually experienced true racism!

    Logic it is. You call Trump's tweets racists but unable to point to one. All Progressive Liberal Democrats are just like you.

    @Steve N is asking you to point to one of Trump's tweets that you believe is racist. Go on, make our day :applause:

    About Trump? About his policies? There's not much there to know.

    I used a racist term (glad to know you actually know what one is) to make a point about what a racist post is.

    You're coy, evasive and non-responsive.

    And you literally don't understand the meaning of context. You are also the poster boy of a Trumpster.

    The original sin of his would be his business practices towards minorities. That should have been a big red flag but you are correct is saying that he shares his asssery with everyone.....because he's an a****** but his remarks are more towards minorities.

    I agree with you up to a point but the opposite is true. It would appear that we are returning to Jim Crow times when open racism is accepted. Pointing it out as often as possible is one way to combat it. I don't know if it's the best way......but it's a way.

    It is NOT the job of the President of the United States to go out and manage and fix the problems of individual cities. It is not the job of the President of the United States to engage in local law enforcement and run local police forces.

    He can do things such as

    "
    WASHINGTON — A little-noticed section in the $1.5 trillion tax cut that President Trump signed into law late last month is drawing attention from venture capitalists, state government officials and mayors across America.

    The provision, on Page 130 of the tax overhaul, is an attempt to grapple with a yawning hole in the recovery from the Great Recession: the fact that, in huge swaths of the country, the economic recovery has yet to arrive.

    The law creates “Opportunity Zones,” which will use tax incentives to draw long-term investment to parts of America that continue to struggle with high poverty and sluggish job and business growth. The provision is the first new substantial federal attempt to aid those communities in more than a decade. And it comes as a disproportionate share of economic growth has been concentrated in so-called superstar metropolitan areas like Los Angeles and New York."
    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/29/business/tax-bill-economic-recovery-opportunity-zones.html

    Note the bolded part as in the Obama Administration did nothing.

    And

    "
    Earlier today President Trump signed an executive order establishing the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council. The Council will be chaired by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, and comprised of 13 Federal agencies.

    The goal of the council will be to stop the redundancy and duplication within the federal bureaucracy, and focus on actual delivery of results to specific economic empowerment zones."
    https://theconservativetreehouse.co...-revitalization-council-video-and-transcript/

    But the fact remains until local authorities start a hard effort to eliminate crime, stop supporting criminals, clean of the streets no one is going to invest in those areas.

    That was in answer to this statement "You call him racist because you do not know much more." If you know what they were talking about, let me know.

    We keep asking but so far not a single person has shown us a racist part of any of Trumps tweets. It doesn't exist anywhere but in the liberals minds. The rank and file people of this country know this, and they will vote accordingly in 2020. Trump wins again.

    They were not racist and that is fact not defense.

    The city is a rat and crime infested third world city and that is not racist

    Trump may be racist but that statement is merely accurate

    He never said go back he said to go to the countries they came from , fix those countries problems then come back here and show us how it is done.

    That is not racist and the context is a challenge to do something constructive

    The charge or racism is an absolute failure
