But everyone knows he isn't talking about rodents. He doesn't have a rodent count for each Congressional district, he knows it is a majority-black district, so he says it is infested, just as he said about John Lewis's district when he made the outrageous claim, then as now, that Members of Congress from these districts should not speak about the country as a whole, only their own districts, unlike the Republican Members of Congress from poor majority-white states whom he regards as experts on everything because they agree with every stupid thing he says and whom he appoints as Cabinet Secretaries, WH Chief of Staff, etc. |
| Just as he forced Democrats to defend the far-left 'Squad' in his unexpected ambush on Rep. Ilhan Omar and her pals, he's now forcing Democrats to own the urban shambles and filth that characterize one-party blue-city rule, putting all Democrats on their backfoot. |
Yes, racism has been a useful tool for him. |
No he doesn’t. |
Tell it to the people he discriminated against in the 1970's, the Central Park 5, Obama (ie the king of the birther movement which was the ultimate send him home dog whistle) and the people he says are infesting the country. |
He very clearly does. Elijah Cummings and John Lewis are black, and he goes out of his way to attack them and their districts, when, as president, he should be focused on running the nation. Not on how to attack black men. |
Of course he does. We can all see it. And no there are not "very fine people" on both sides. |
| Twitter agrees that his post was not racist and is about literal rats. Anyone who thinks otherwise is the real racist. |
maybe KKK twitter but everyone else sees it otherwise |
Maybe the people on your Twitter feed do? |
You are now making up stuff and deciding what he "meant" not looking at what he said. Your "he knows it is a majority black district, so he says it is infested" is just dumb. He says it is rat infested, because it is, not because it is majority black. Baltimores own Mayor says it is rat infested, is She a racist too? How is calling a rat infested place, rat infested, racist? It's a fact. If it was not a shithole, but he called it one because black people lived there, thats pretty racist. The problem is, he called a shithole a shithole. Calling him Racist for pointing out the obvious is easier than cleaning up your neighborhood I guess.... |
| Trump supporters are not worth talking to because they never tell the truth. Blah blah blah blah blah lies lies lies lies. |
Twitter already said the posts violated the Terms of Service, but the public interest clause superseded thus they won't take it down. https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-says-racist-trump-tweet-does-not-violate-policies-2019-7 Read the article, not the headline. |
Tell us O wise one, why is it that he never calls out the shitholes of rural America? They do exist you know. But all the shitholes he calls out are inhabited by people of color, where as rural American shitholes tend to be white. Show me an example of him complaining about those shitty rat-infested trailer parks. Ooh does that raise your hackles? |
I feel a lot safer in eastern Kentucky than I do in Baltimore. Just saying. Poor and violent crime are not synonymous. |
