    I don't think the modern left know what racism is. They have set the bar so low and clouded it up to the point all white people are racist..

    I lived in racism in the 50 s and 60s and don't see hardly any racism today.. Sure there is some individual racists and always will be..But it pales with what I witnessed.

    I don't see the racism in Trump.. As I did not see the trump Putin conspiracy.

    Trump saying that some illegals are rapist and criminals is a fact. Calling that racism is absurd. But the leftist have shown they lack integrity on this issue. I think.they are incoherent and believe the worst about non leftists. Its a mental affliction.

    They can't help themselves. Just like the right see the Commons as socialism. Both can have shorted out brains.

    My opinion too.

    Trump is about trump but he isn't a monster. Nor is he driven by ideology.

    He did not ban all Muslims. Should have but he didn't.

    It sounds like you might have read David Kay Johnston's book, The Making of Donald Trump. I did, and it was most informative.

    Well, if you imply a foreign government, explain which and how it increased his wealth. Do that instead of spouting some leftist narrative. You don't get away with just parroting the narrative of the MSM!

    Myth.

    Say, how much money had Biden donated to black causes? Because Trump donated a hell of a lot.

    Even Democrats call their ACA a socialist program. But you are correct that the Democrats are almost entirely wrong.

    He wanted to at first, and made a TV announcement of it, but it caused an outrage so he was forced to withdraw, thing is, in the Muslim countries he excluded he owned properties there, but not in the countries he banned, and none of the countries banned have exported terrorism to the US, but the ones he excluded, specifically, Saudi Arabia, have. . So, his motivation was corrupt.

    I completely discount such broad brush unproven remarks. And by all posters.

    "and some, I assume, are good people". DJT, NOT some are bad people
    Trump permanently took away children from parents who crimes were no greater than class B misdemeanor. Racism or whatever, what he did was criminal, in my view.
    Right wingers are totally deluded for supporting Trump

    I lived in the 50s as well. It's not as prevalent as it was, but it is still there in many places. Trumps were sued by NY AG for discriminating against blacks. Trump put in a full page ad on the black NY five who were exonerated, and has made a number or racist comments and attempted racist policies. And you can add sleaze and misogynist remarks in that mix.

    I stated a fact. He has properties in Saudi Arabia, not included in the ban, all of the 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia.

    FACT.

    I must have missed the broadcast when he said he would ban all muslims. Politics are corrupt but not always in the way they are seen by some.

    Not really a platform, but okay. And if you're okay voting for a president who lacks a plan forward, have at it.

    Banning ALL Muslim countries is racist, because predominantly Arab countries are being banned, as THAT was the INTENT.

    But, if you prefer, we'll call him a BIGOT.

    I am always reminded when others allege to be experts on any human, how wrong they can be and protest they told the truth.

    Take my own case.

    I was watching my fastpitch adult men softball team playing in one of the many tournaments.

    Two adult males were close to me talking about ME. I did not know either male. But they were acting as if they were experts on ME. I asked them where they got such information? While I do not recall their reply, both were 100 percent wrong. But they chatted as were it the truth.


    All of you would be shocked at the things said about YOU to others pretending all is TRUTH. Do you truly accept strangers claims made about YOU as the truth?

    David Cay Johnson will sell you his subscription.

    One more thing. I lack confidence in the Pulitzer prize. If it is as bad as the Nobel Peace prize when that was awarded to a do nothing president, it is not worth having.

    Trump never banned all Muslim countries. Had he banned all, Saudi Arabia would have been banned. I recall when Bush 43 was president that Democrats begged for Saudi Arabia to be banned and did not blink an eye at their own brand or racism.
