These lightweight Republican racists ain't a pimple on a Democrat racist's lily white ass. And Trump? Fuck him, when's the last time he turned firehoses and police dogs on peaceful black marchers? Nah, you want real, dyed in the wool, old timey racism you gotta go Democrat.
Trump's a racist, because, well, he must be. He's a white, male, cisgender, wealthy businessman. He just MUST be racist, because, you know, that's the way those people are....
He hasn't said anything racist? Doesn't matter, we know he's racist...
He has advanced no racist policies? Doesn't matter...
He's hired plenty of minorities and women, and held them to the same standards as white men? Doesn't matter...
He said something about a moratorium on MUSLIM immigration, so, well, that's "racist." And, you know, he wants to stop people from illegally crossing the American border, and, well, you know, that's racist too. So, he's a racist.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
He's not actually endorsing her. He's distracting from Klan support of Trump. And that's a sympathetic view of what he said. More than likely he's nuttier than Galaxian. You can't read what he said and take it seriously. You simply can't.
