So while it’s not at all surprising, it’s nevertheless extremely disturbing to learn that back in August 2017, not only did Trump praise a group of white nationalists and neo-Nazis and claim it had some very fine people among it, he referred to said group as “my people” while arguing with then House Speaker Paul Ryan over his remarks.ĭonald Trump flipped out at then House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) for condemning white supremacists after the deadly 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, a new book claims. history? Or threw an absolute shit fit over the removal of statue of a Confederate general who thought Black people should be white people’s property, insisting said general was one of the greatest military leaders of all time? Obviously, if we were to include everything, we‘d be here all day. Department of Justice expert said oversaw the worst pattern of racial profiling by a law enforcement agency in U.S. from seven predominantly Muslim nations? Or called Mexicans rapists and criminals? Or pardoned a guy a U.S. helping start an entire movement around the lie that the country’s first Black president wasn’t born here and describing Baltimore, whose population is majority Black, as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “ no human being” would “want to live.” But wait, you say, what about the time he banned travel to the U.S. The man is and always has been an out and out racist, and while the examples to back this up are too numerous to mention, just a small sampling includes calling for the execution of five Black and Latino teenagers telling four congresswoman of color to “ go back” to the “totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” when three-quarters of the group “came from” the U.S. Say what you will about Donald Trump, but the man has always said that everyone should be treated equally, no matter the religion they practice or the color of their skin, and in his four years in the White House, he never once gave anyone any reason to believe he had a single ounce of prejudice in his body.
