Trump interview shows he only wants to be President of white people

[HomerJS]

Trump gives Maria Bartaromo an interview where she kisses his ass for 30 minutes. Forget that for a moment. she spends a grand total of one minute on the question, "what can you to bring us together". Even in this question she never addresses his own hostility and lofts that question as another softball. Trump's answer

He just praised his base as the greatest and scoffed at the "other side" and said "they had better just take it easy". Clearly Trump is only interested in his own base.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Don't want the other side getting too uppity do we?

 

[Jhhnn]

Bringing us together with threats. Works every time, I'm sure.

 

[UNCjigga]

Remember when Obama we as the most divisive President in history? How dare he divide whites and non-whites with his "yes we can" message!

 

[pcgeek11]

Well at least he didn't call the opposition " A basket of Deplorables ".

 

[pcgeek11]

Believe it or not Trumps base also has many "brown people".

OP is a lie.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Well at least he didn't call the opposition " A basket of Deplorables ".

I know that would be deplorable

Current immigration is proving there definitely are some deplorable’s.
Nobody seems to want to say separating kids and making it uncomfortable is the goal to reduce illegal immigration.
Personally I find it deplorable we’re better than that.

 

[HomerJS]

Well at least he didn't call the opposition " A basket of Deplorables ".

But he did call a fine group of mothers, bitches. Bit worse don't you think.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Well at least he didn't call the opposition " A basket of Deplorables ".

Yeah cause there’s nothing deplorable about racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic — Islamophobic — you name it people right?

 

[HomerJS]

OP is a lie.

Nice try but I didn't say all white or 100% white. More effort required.

Why do you think Trump practiced white identity politics to perfection? That's why as the interview shows he has no interest in even trying to bring the country together,.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Let’s not forget:

“I prefer my war heroes not to be captured”

I can only imagine the outrage if any Democrat used those exact same words.

 

[olds]

In that interview he also didn't mention aliens from Proxima b. The only logical conclusion is that they helped him win the election and he won't build a wall to keep them out.

I should go outside and play, but Trump is a racist? Pretty sure he employs many different colors and religions. Had them on his shows, beauty contests and in his cabinet.

Is the problem that he's enforcing the immigration law now a matter of color?

1978

Renewed discrimination charge. The Department of Justice accuses the Trumps of continuing to discriminate in spite of their settlement.

1983

Report: disproportionately white tenants. The New York Times reports that two Trump properties have populations that are 95 percent white.

1989

Central Park Five Ads. After five young men of color — known as The Central Park Five — are arrested for a brutal attack on a jogger, Donald Trump buys full-page newspaper ads stressing law and order and urging return of the the death penalty. He writes that white, black, Hispanic and Asian families have lost a sense of security in their neighborhoods. (The five men, who Trump called "crazed misfits," were exonerated 13 years later.)

1992

Trump hotel penalized for discrimination. A judge rules against the Trump Plaza Hotel in New Jersey, concluding the hotel discriminated in removing a African-American dealer from a table at the request of a wealthy player.

1993

April 24, 2013

Then there’s everything on the campaign trail and since he was president. But yeah. It’s the immigrants.

 

[shortylickens]

The reason he employs a handful of minorities is specifically so he can claim he's not racist.
The millions he's abused during his life are conveniently forgotten. Actually, the republican party has been doing basically the same thing for decades.

... Actually, the republican party has been doing basically the same thing for decades.

It started when they freed the slaves.

I'm sure it would be different if they were Norwegians, obviously.

 

[Moonbeam]

Don't you think that you find Trump appealing because he channels your inner asshole? What is a Deplorable if not an asshole who also does not want to feel that shame? Really, what is all your outrage against those who find Trump disgusting but your unwillingness to admit to how deep is your contempt for the shameful of which you are a part. Get over yourself. You are no more disgusting that you were made to feel. It's not who you were born to be. There is only love.

A lot of that is simply due to circumstance. As George Carlin would have said they "happen to be black"

Trump is also not the brightest thinker on the planet.

I'm sure it would be different if they were Norwegians, obviously.

You know a racist wouldn't tolerate any one other then their own and that's not the case with Trump. Trump hates, insults, discards everyone, even his wife.

That’s highly debatable. He seems to have a shit ton of those circumstances. How many times does he have to be in those circumstances before maybe, just maybe, it’s him.

But nothing needs to be said beyond his comments that a judge (born in fucking Indiana of all places) couldn’t do his job because he’s a Mexican. There’s too many cases of him using people’s race or religion to marginalized them to ignore.

What you said was:

Trump interview shows he only wants to be President of white people.

The term "Only" sort of excludes any people of color, so yes you did say all white in so many words.

I never claimed he was racist. I claim he panders to racists. It's just one aspect of his con.

What are you 10 years old? "He hired people of color so that means he isn't racist"??

Did you know Strom Thurmond banged black women and he was an open segregationist?

Trump doesn't hate everyone. White people committing terrorists act against people of color invokes his silence. That why it turned his stomach in knots to say anything bad about the Charlottesville Nazi's. His final condemnation was written for him and then he took it back a few days later.

Stop playing dumb. His base is overwhelmingly white. He doesn't practice white grievance with people of color.

"Only" means that's what Trump wants. He has no desire to bring together people outside his base. If Trump could turn his base into 100% white he would. For now he has to settle with over 80% being white but he's working on getting that higher.
