All Purpose News and Politics Thread Part IV: The Center Cannot Hold

Man...

That's where you get into a weird sort of "Thought Pickle".

On the one hand, I'd agree with the "Execute The Central Park Five" take. On the other hand, white nationalism isn't really driving him to the point where he will make sure that it's white people staffing his businesses even if it winds up making him less money.

You can be a "white nationalist" while still making sure the "minorities" know their place -- you don't have to be a white "separatist" to be a white nationalist.

Constantly arguing Trump isn't exactly what he's "pretending" to be when he consistently makes stereotypical and blatantly racist statements about Muslims, African-Americans, Mexicans and others is exactly why some people didn't bother voting "against" him in the last election, while many others (like white nationalists) rallied together and voted for him vaulting him to the office of the presidency where he can now promote Muslim bans and border walls while attacking African-American athletes for taking a knee against injustice and police brutality.

If you're still trying to argue that Trump isn't a white supremacist in both word and action, it's only because you don't want to accept the truth about America as a whole, and why the "birther in chief" was elected as president.

"In a 1991 book, John O'Donnell, the former president of the Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, said Trump had told him: "Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

He later called O'Donnell a "loser" in an interview with Playboy, but allowed that, "The stuff O'Donnell wrote about me is probably true."
