    Much like the Democrats want to fire up their base by running against a manufactured "racism" they know is not there.
    Right?

    Scared? They are the face of the new far left Democratic Party. You should be scared.

    No. I mean, arguing whether it was racist or not is splitting hairs. His tweets were immoral, un-American, un-Presidential, and Hitleresque in there ideology, (only those who agree with him (Trump) are the true Americans).

    It’s borderline racism, and full fledge nationalism, an ideology which can be argued is a form racism.

    "Send her back". Didn't they used to tell the Civil rights marchers to "Go back to Africa?"
    The racism IS there.

    As opposed to what? It is your side that is for pushing for globalism.... where a few white/asian elites control the entire damn globe outside of the control of the people. It is the new colonialism (like the British Empire) and it is your side pushing for it.

    Morality is subjective. In your worldview, his tweets were immoral. In my worldview, they were necessary. In my worldview, the morality of the far left is the closest thing to pure evil on earth.... an existential threat to Western Civilization, rational inquiry and secular democracy. Their morality is immorality to me. They have done nothing to prove the soundness of their morality, they merely have attacked, bullied and demeaned opponents for disagreeing with them. The far left are using cultural power to enforce their morality on the rest of America, it seems that it will be only a matter of time before they have the government boot on all of our necks.

    We no longer have a shared vision of America nor a shared morality. This is not going to go away when Trump leaves office. I believe the problem is intractable and is only going to get worse.

    This is almost exactly like everyone that opposed Obama was called a racist. The only difference is that calling someone a racist is a DNC approved political tactic.

    What-about-isms are poor arguments.

    They may be poor, but in this case, completely accurate.

    For those of us who have seen or heard no racism from anybody in the White House, this is very informative. We are supposed to believe that even though you in no way sourced it with anything credible? Your side has been pretty consistent in how you have characterized the President and those who support him. My list so far:

    RACIST
    Liars
    Prejudiced
    Bigoted
    Deplorable
    Hateful
    Nazi
    Fascist
    Violent
    White Supremacist
    Sexist
    Xenophobic
    Fear brown people
    Islamophobic
    Homophobic
    Christian sharia
    Birthers
    Misogynistic
    *********s
    Greedy
    Uncaring
    Insensitive
    Hate the poor
    Want to keep the poor in poverty
    Put people in concentration camps
    Want to reinstitute poll taxes, segregation, Jim Crow laws
    Violate every person's bedroom and every woman's womb
    Smelly Walmart people
    Low information
    Uneducated
    Unscientific
    Environmentally irresponsible
    Anti-vaxxers
    Clinging to their guns and religion
    And in addition to the constant drumbeat of RACIST, the code words this past week seem to be narcissist and thin skinned

    I wonder why are people so terrible as the President and those who support him are allowed to even live here with all the perfect, righteous, upstanding, magnificent, flawless people who hate the President and by default those who support him?

    Well let me offer a clue. Those who express unAmerican, anti-religious, hateful, intolerant, judgmental, angry, bitter, and dishonest garbage are not going to be taken seriously by Trump supporters and they only reinforce what the President says and encourage us to defend him, even when he is sometimes wrong. Whatever his sins, they don't hold a candle to those of the malicious people who would destroy him. And us if they could. The President is not racist. His entire life and his current point of view demonstrates that clearly with anybody willing to see.

    President Trump has done a great job for America. And unless something seriously changes between now and a year from November, he has earned and deserves a second term.

    Your claim was that EVERYONE who opposed Obama was called a racist. That is simply not true.

    Trump is a self-admitted narcissist - that's hardly a "code word".

    Yes, it really is true. Any criticism of Obama was immediately met with claims of racism, and still is today.

    That list sounds about right...

    Although I refuse to call Trump a racist, since that is what you want me to do... His tweet was racist, but he, of course, is not a racist...

    He deserves immediate impeachment and removal, but he's just going to get all the scorn and ridicule I can muster in my waking hours.... Too bad I have to sleep...

    He really hasn't - and any Republican would have done much the same without all the Drama Queen side show.

    Trump's inability to build coalitions, even among his own party, has prevented any progress on reducing the debt, tackling the healthcare reform issue, getting funding for border security, or making immigration reforms.

    The North Korean issue is exactly the same as it was when he took office.

    Trump has alienated our European allies, so he his unable to build a cohesive response to Iranian aggression.

    Chinese influence in Central and South America has grown as Trump pulls back aid and China steps in as an increased trading partner.

    Trump influenced the Brexit vote - which has made a shambles of European unity - and Europe has been the focal point for every World War - not a good thing for the health of the planet.

    The team that helped Trump pass the tax reform bill was chased off Trump's staff by Trump's child-like antics, and his poor hiring history has been more disruptive than helpful ... c'mon ... Omaorosa? The Mooch? Really?

    The Drama Queen style that Trump has brought to the office is a negative influence both here and abroad - any other Republican would have been able to pass the same economic programs without the antics.

    So when I claimed on this forum that Obama was a failure at getting hold of the rising debt - I was called a racist? Don't remember that. Enlighten me.

    Not one of the 16 other people who vied for the Republican nomination in 2016 nor a single Republican in Congress would have had the courage to even attempt a lot of what President Trump has accomplished in a short 2-1/2 years. And certainly the Democrats have been promoting the exact opposite of what the President has done.

    I think most honest Americans are not looking at all the inconsequential stuff that the left nitpicks constantly. They look at the actual consequences, the actual accomplishments, and the wonderful vision and possibilities that look feasible for the first time in a long time. And they see that the positives are making things generally better for all demographics regardless of age, race, gender, economic class etc.

    So the haters and baiters and snowflakes and hyper-partisan will continue to make mountains out of the most petty molehills, take things out of context, mischaracterize, and misrepresent. And those who love America and Americans will continue to rejoice in the good things that are happening.

    If Trump is are savior, then all I can say is “hell awaits us all”.

    Pick your poison, folks, Socialism or Nationalism; both will kill liberty.

    So... Yes, you know the claims of racism are false, but you still want to act like they're true.
    Thank you.

    - Cite the text of Trump's supposedly racist tweets/statements
    - Demonstrate how those tweets/statements meet the definition of racism, as per:
    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism
    https://www.dictionary.com/browse/racism
    https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/racism
    Why haven't the Democrats impeached him?
