    How is that racist? Look up the definition of what a racist is.

    Are we really going to parse out the difference between bigoted and outright racist?

    Guess what...Trump seems to be "bigoted" against those with darker skin

    So the idiotic claim is that NBC vets their performers for possible racism?

    Ummm...no. That's stupid

    The only bullshit is the above statement and what follows. Trump has been scrutinized more than any career politician ever was or is for decades, yet suddenly upon running for POTUS, he becomes "literally Hitler." Your party did the exact same things to Nixon, Reagan, Bush 1 and 2, and did it with the impunity of a pre-net media hegemony, a luxury the liars of the Complex no longer have. That doesn't work any more, the people have wised up, become more aware due to the net, and the election and subsequent bear it out. Learn new political tricks and cons, breed/import a dependent client underclass faster than the remaining shred of credibility is lost, or perish.

    Yeah, how could a hispanic judge who belongs to "La Raza" (The Race), be biased against him?

    Well, yes, we are going to parse out the difference between bigoted and racist. Right now you're displaying your own bigotry by being intolerant of other opinions. And there is zero proof Trump is a racist. Zero. But don't forget, the left also said he hated gays, women, and a whole lot of other people and they never proved it. If Trump was really all the things the left claimed he was, then how did NBC not see it during the 10 years he was making them money?

    You were told by Joe and Mika what to believe and now you're going to take that belief to the grave.

    Oh no! I'm intolerant of racism and bigotry? Add Anti-Semitism to that list as well...

    What a horrible human being I am

    Condemnation of comments made by Donald Trump about a federal judge reached the heights of the national Republican leadership when U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan rebuked the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee on June 7, 2016.

    "I disavow these comments," the Wisconsin Republican said. "Claiming a person can’t do the job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It’s absolutely unacceptable."

    Trump has been roundly denounced, by the left and right, for saying U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel may be biased against him because of his Mexican heritage.

    Brilliant.

    Accuse Trump of "racism" because he correctly pointed out that the judge was a biased racist.

    On June 2, 2016, Trump told the Wall Street Journal that Curiel had "an absolute conflict" in presiding over the litigation given that he is "of Mexican heritage" and a member of a Latino lawyers’ association. Trump told the journal the judge’s background was relevant because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and his pledge to seal the southern U.S. border. "I’m building a wall. It’s an inherent conflict of interest," Trump said.

    The "Latino Lawyers Association" is, of course, "La Raza", a latino supremacist organization dedicated to the advancement of latino people, and only latino people.

    Clearly, having such a judge decide matters in which he has a clear and stated bias, makes Trumps comments true.

    The racist bigot in this scenario isn't the POTUS, it's the judge who belongs to a racial supremacy group.

    One again, Trump speaks truth, and the left calls him the racist.

    Hilarious.

    Mostly because liberals probably scream "racist" at their socks when no one else is around.

    It only works on weak-willed members of your own ideology who can't think for themselves and like to be told what to think.

    The simple answer is that Trump wasnt running against the crooked corrupt serial liar Hillary in those days. All the the evil things he is accused of was invented after he started to run against Hillary.

    You must be talking about Hillary. She was run thru the Republican Propaganda Machine.

    She was a hard working and experienced states person.

    Nope. He was just another New York billionaire with a sort of notoriety because of his loud mouth, a lavish lifestyle and a desire for attention. Nobody really cared much what he did with the newest blond model in his bedroom other than some tabloids reporting on his divorce from the last blonde model. As for his business ventures, sure if you were really interested, you could learn he bought this hotel or that property and that this project was over budget or that law suit was threatened or filed, but you had to look for it and only a few real business journalists for the Times or the Journal, did any in depth stories on his empire and gave them much play. Otherwise it was Barbara Walters interviews once a decade or two column piece in People magazine. It wasn't sustained attention and no more was merited. He was a blowhard with a knack for gaining celebrity attention, not real journalistic interest.

    Keep repeating it, maybe that will make the false turn true.

    Donald Trump has been an A list celebrity on par with top Hollywood and sports stars since at least the mid 80s. Fact. Donald Trump built his empire in the most heavily regulated, cutthroat real estate market in the world, and so has been subject to several levels of intense regulatory scrutiny his entire career. Fact.



    This is just one of dozens if not hundreds of examples of top shelf media coverage of Trump as celebrity going WAY back. Contrast coverage of the Clintons AT ANY TIME during the 80s, or Obama during the 90s through his Presidential candidacy. The tone of it sets out quite plainly the degree that he has been scrutinized and criticized by media over many years. At any point, people could make tens of thousands to millions of dollars off of Trump's supposed wrongdoing, yet it's only when he ran for POTUS that he miraculously transformed into some super villain OVERNIGHT.

    For younger people interested in the truth of U.S. politics, you may not realize or be old enough to know that EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, starting with Nixon has been portrayed as racist, sexist, stupid, mentally unbalanced. There is -0- equivalence with how Democrat Presidents are treated, none. It's the lying Complex's favorite trick in lieu of trying to win on policy, and they have gravely overplayed their hand with the TDS in front of the American voter. They are compromising what should be easy wins in every national election, and are their own worst enemies.
