Trump supporters are all pretty much the same. So when the same sort of rhetoric is used against Trump, his latest wife and Trump's assorted children, just remember comments like above and realize it wasn't a problem when Trump supporters were saying it.

And President Obama is not Muslim. So calling him a perverted mullah is no different than calling Trump a perverted Jew. One would think that would be completely unacceptable but Trump supporters will defend it which is exactly what we are seeing here. Just don't act shocked when the same level of rhetoric is used against Trump, his latest wife and his assorted children.

Default Trump the Unthinkable!

Trump is starting to connect with the outreach. Obama studies the polls too and is outrage Black Americans can think for themselves and want a better life. Democrats have been power too long and are drunk with personal intentions for power!
Leave to the ultimate outsider to shake the tree!

Of course there are good and bad apples associated with both candidates, but the same rhetoric has already been used ad nauseam towards Trump and his family. Have you established a relationship with each and every Trump supporter to make such a bold declaration? Stop being so hypocritical and simple-minded.

Trump supporters are already defending the comment. Don't try to say the rhetoric doesn't apply to all when that is clearly not the case. When a Trump supporter called President Obama a "perverted mullah" and Trump supporters rush to defend it, that is not one bad apple. That is the nature of Trump supporters, where they defend white supremacist retweets, etc. Trump supporters may as well own it because that's what the public thinks of them.

I do not know where you got that name, however no one is defending the point. We as Trump supporter celebrate out reach and the successful America. White Supremacist , not exactly. If anything I do believe Dems and the BLM are racist and approve of violence on our streets.


The Kicker is you guys are not even connecting with the problem to make our streets and Cities ore safe.


Trump is making a impact and you guys do not like it!

Many black people had high hopes for Obama and their personal situations when he took office. After eight years, many of us are probably insulted that more wasn't done for them. I never expected much from him.

As I see it, politicians can't do things for XYZ group. That's one (of many) reasons I hate identity politics. When people talk about why XYZ group should or shouldn't support XYZ candidate, it doesn't make much sense to me as Congress and POTUS implement laws for the entire country.

I'd argue that Obama was bad for blacks because he was bad for the country and, as such, black people were negatively affected just like those of us who aren't black. I don't think he targeted them not do I think he could have done much to help them in a targeted manner.

Could it be because the poster still believes that obama isn't really a citizen? With that absurd belief, all votes for obama would have been illegal. Twice.

If you look, I quoted a Trump supporter.

Trump has retweeted white supremacist comments endlessly. We've seen right wingers call President Obama a Kenyan witch doctor, a chimpanzee, postcards of watermelons growing on the White House lawn and now a perverted mullah. And when I asked if that is actually okay, Trump supporters defended it.

Yep.
trump says he's a Christian. ... but aren't Christians not supposed to judge people? aren't Christians not supposed to make fun of disabled people? aren't Christians not supposed to cheat their subcontractors? aren't Christians not supposed to cheat on their wives? aren't Christians not supposed to commit fraud and racketeering? aren't Christians not supposed to bribe politicians?
