How many more of these instances are you guys going to swallow before you admit that Trump is a racist?

A Hispanic judge can't be impartial b/c they are Hispanic...

2 Black, 1 Hispanic, and 1 Middle Eastern legislators can't criticize his administration b/c they come from corrupt, crime-infested countries and should go home...

Jewish voters shouldn't support Democrats b/c that's being disloyal to Israel...

A Chinese reporter can't ask a valid question b/c she needs to check in with China first...

It's so clear that Trump views people's heritage as the defining characteristic of someone's motivations, like it's an inherited trait based on where you're born. If you're not from America or Europe, your opinions don't count b/c you owe your allegiance to some other country. Any objective person would clearly classify that as a racist view on ethnicity and heritage, yet his supporters keep playing dumb.

Is he racist?

Or is he super rude and completely inappropriate and a bit stupid (so he attacks people instead of debating/answering because he can't actively engage in a debate)?

I really think he tosses out insults because he doesn't have a real answer.

He does that to literally everyone.

All of this -- -and some believe all of that to be racist.

When he feels cornered he gets childish. I would love for him to just let it go.

The more they poke him the more he should work towards just letting all that go.

Here's the thing - if some reporter can trigger him -- can Putin, Kim Jung Un, etc......play him as easily -- hmmm.

So the argument is that he's not racist, he just likes to act racist?


Would you agree that framing someone's motivations as dependent on their ethnicity is a racist viewpoint?

One thing's for sure, he's been treated fairly by the msm.

Said no rational human being, ever.

Anyone else besides me remember all the complaints during the Kavanaugh hearing about how "old white men" were the jury if it were deciding whether to believe Ford? Then we had all the democratic primary attacks on the "old white men" like Beto, Bernie and Biden.

Or the repeated comments by Hillary about how she was being criticized etc. because she's a woman (because nobody ever does that to anybody else in politics.)

What's wrong Eddie? Trump, just like he stole the term Fake News....is just stealing right out of the SJW playbook. Funny how it bothers you now.

I think he's an idiot but then again I think most people that use gender or race to hide behind flimsy argument are idiots.

Along with those, you forgot that Trump called counties with black leaders "s-hole countries."

Also, don't forget that a group of black tenants in one of Trump's apartment buildings successfully sued him for racist housing practices in the past.

He also referred to "inner-city neighborhoods" (AKA predominately black areas of big cities) as "crime-infested hell holes that no decent human being would want to live."

I've been asking Trump supporters here on City-Data how they feel about all these statements from Trump for months, but none of them ever answer. Much like Donald himself, City-Data Trump supporters don't like having to answer tough questions and they usually just ignore or deflect.

Framing people in the context of their race & ethnicity is a social justice tactic? Not something the predates the SJ movement by millenia? I think that absurd position you just claimed captures just how ridiculous your viewpoint is.

But he puts himself out there.

You make some outrageous statement and the press calls you out on it -- is it the press who is wrong or him.

And yes he is accountable for all that he says as President of the USA.He says outrageous things. He stands by those outrageous statements and when he is held accountable for it -- the press is vilified as picking on him.

Trump has said anyone who wants a test can get one. He's repeated this many times since that first statement at the CDC when not even if you NEEDED a test critically could you get one. So he keeps being asked to answer to that misinformation.

Today in the USA not everyone can get a test that wants one. This whole altercation came out of someone in the press addressing his misinformation.

Is the media, the voters, etc. meant to just keep on letting him make up stuff and say what ever he wants because he wants to?

But he will say he was being picked on and so will his fans.....or they will spin why the question isn't a good one, what Trump really means or what we should be focusing on.
