People like the OP crack me up. They think they know more about Trump than anyone else, when all they know about him comes from a few seasons of the Apprentice, some campaign rallies, and two years of Breitbart articles.

I'm a native New Yorker. I've watched the local news cover this guy's dealings for decades. OP is delusional.

I had never heard of this award, but here is a link to a list of those that have received it:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_...Medal_of_Honor


Said list may not be complete. Here, from the Ellis Island Medal of Honor website, is the list of those that received this award this year (I did not count, but it appears around 50 people):

Trump's cabinet is mostly white and male. What will that mean for policy? | PBS NewsHour


Here's just a latest example of Trump's bias. For those who don't know, Elaine Chao is married to McConnell. Betsy Devos is payment for Eric Prince and their hefty contributions. What's Ben Carson? Token?

What is it with these low information people and their simple minded troll rhetoric? Oh yeah. Alternative facts and fantasy are their mantra. Right.

So am I. He was called racist multiple times over the Central Park 5 case alone. I don't know where these guys get this stuff.

When you run for office your past is magnified. You are spot lighted and exposed. The media can be rather selective in their reporting. 20 years ago neither Trump or Hillary would have even been a consideration for President given the many controversies surrounding them.
I refused to vote for Trump or Hillary because they were both bad choices.
Is Trump a racist? No more so than Sharpton, Jackson, or Waters.
I agree with Trump's stand on immigration. What he said wasn't wrong, poorly worded yes, but not inaccurate.
We do allow far too many in that end up becoming a burden upon the nation. If you can't be properly vetted then you shouldn't be allowed in. If you came here illegally then you should be deported when found.

His statement about all hate groups was also not wrong, poorly worded, yes. Which is why he isn't a good fit for the job. The job requires tact and that is something Trump has very little of.

If nothing else, you can thank Trump for having exposed PC for what it is, and hopefully causing it to become but a bad memory in American history.



Keep up your cries of racism based on your own liberal perspective. All it does is create the atmosphere of Aesop's fable where people will just ignore all the false alarms.
oh you mean like crooked Hillary or Lying Ted or Little Rocketman or Pocahontas or Little Marco or Crying Chuck, or Crazy Bernie.



I assume that is what you mean when you talk about "labeling people....
