@NotConvinced I have been following your posts and you do not seem convinced about any subject you answer .I am not sure that you are able to be convinced of anything.

@NotConvinced So a proud bigot. That's only to be expected.

@NotConvinced So you are a moron and a bigot. Sorry, that's redundent. ?

@NotConvinced I think that there needs to be a different metric by which we measure the behavior of the President. That office is supposed to represent all Americans. When someone in that power position states that there were 'good people' on both sides of the Charlottesville debacle, fails to assure that Puerto Rico receives the kinds of aid that other American sites of tragedy receive, and encourages Congress to pass legislation that will affect people of color disproportionately, the evidence is clear that some people (white males) matter more to him than others. That is not acceptable.

@NotConvinced ummmm denigrating them because of their COLOR isn't racist to you???!!!

@NotConvinced just wow.......

@NotConvinced Expertise??? Care to elaborate on that?

@NotConvinced "Expertise"??? In what, exactly? Both Rex Tillertson and now his Chief of Staff have called him "an Idiot", and one presumes they know more about him than you ever will!

Hw gets called that because he is a racist. I would absolutely LOVE to hear you explain what you think he is trying to do for us so I could list 3 things out of his own mouth and that of his unqualified political appointees that counter everything you list. Ill probably be able to list his own actions in most cases as well.

Some of the things that he does which appear racist can be partially explained by a desire to keep Americans safe, but other things can only be explained by racism.

@Tara2 What other things?

@gater

Here's a pretty comprehensive list of things that he's done that appear racist.

[nytimes.com]

You'd want to discount the things that relate to the wall and the Muslim ban, as those can be construed as trying to keep Americans safe. Some of the other things could probably be assumed to be jokes by those who want to give him the benefit of the doubt. Most notably along the things that I don't see a way to explain away is the discrimination in housing.

"Safe"....ooookkkaaay....the mass shootings are overwhelmingly by white citizens with KKK, Nazi, and /or evangelical leanings. How's about working on that?!
We keep destroying entire countries, their infrastructure, families, cities, turning them all into refugees living in camps, and then refuse to let them in, because, so sad, too bad........WTH!??!!

@Sticks48 I do know stupid - if you want to see stupid look at the jr high level comments in the Trump bashing group - its pathetic.

@NotConvinced I'm aware of what the Muslim ban is and isn't, but it's commonly referred to as the Muslim ban, and hence I used that description. I did however say that for the sake of argument we should ignore the Muslim ban, because although I think it was bad, it doesn't directly lead to the conclusion that Trump is racist.

@AnneWimsey I didn't say that I agreed with Trump that these things actually would keep people safer. When I'm talking to people that think that Trump is misrepresented and really just wants to keep Americans safe, then there are better things to point out then the Muslim ban.

@Tara2. yeah, I felt Totally safe when he was taunting & insulting a hostile nuclear power. You may think "duck & cover" will save you...i do not!

@AnneWimsey I was also scared when he was doing that. Luckily it didn't amount to a nuclear attack. This however is seemingly unrelevant to a discussion about Trump's racism.

@Tara2 gee, I don't see him being as vile with white world leaders.......hmmmmmmm

@Tara2, @gater have you never heard of humor being used to relieve fear & horror?

@Tara2 You said appear racist - that's not proof of racism. Trump is no racist - don't you remember 911? Are you aware of how many MS13 come up from the Mexican border. Some of you need to learn what Trump is all about.

Yes, everybody says that so and so is a racist...until he/she must face a black/white issue. The same with the pro-life; they are all for the unborn until their daughters gets pregnant....

HYPOCRITES....!!!!

See my anecdote, above, which occurred in the mid to late 80's
Nasty racist comment made for no reason other than he didn't get what he wanted, was simply one of a pool of would-be be investors.

@NotConvinced It was a direct remark to the media! Meant to denigrate/insult using their appearance. WTH is your problem? Oh, wait....... You are simply a racist apologist trying to disguise yourself as a thinking human being!

@NotConvinced Ok, I don't know how you could possibly think that setting a racist policy for a family owned and run business is done by some lower level employee. It was called Red Lining. Many bankers and real estate companies favored this practice. It's just history and facts can be troublesome, especially to Trump and his supporters, which is why they were so easily manipulated by the Russians in the last election.

@NotConvinced I stand by my remark...you take every response on here and blame everyone within 50' of the actual nasty drumpy, or attack the poster as not in command of the facts they present...that's an apologist. And pretending drumpy isn't racist, blatantly so, is willful blindness or just sweeping the shit under the rug because you are one too. Man up & own it, but ferpetessake take it to somewhere else!

@NotConvinced I certainly would except I blocked my racist uncle and his racist sons from my FB page for sharing article after article on my timeline. Many of these were actually IN RUSSIAN and the ones that weren't I researched and found out where they originated. I'm in Michigan and we were inundated with this garbage. Trump won by a narrow margin here. Trump wasn't the only "useful idiot" who benefitted from foreign medaling, however, Jill Stein's entire campaign was Russian sponsored as well. B.T.W. if you still support Trump's latest version of the Trickle Down Economic Tax Scam, first study what it did to Kansas (where Gov. Brownback mercifully resigned) and then, for the sake of your country as well as everything that's still pure and good, don't ever mention economics to anyone in public again.

@NotConvinced scientifically, per DNA and every other check, there are no "races", just various hues of one race. But you can explain that, too, I suppose.

@NotConvinced Hillary was the most investigated politician in history. The mountains of right wing propaganda spewed out about her over the years has convinced many people of her guilt (of something) . The way the Republicans (Fox News) have twisted and turned the facts about Hillary is as intellectually interesting as it is morally bankrupt. The fact is many people find her unlikable, that is her only actual crime.. Trump was not a superior choice over Hillary in any shape or form. Except for misogynist and white supremacy advocates who finally got their guy. It has already been proven that Trump and his staff are actually guilty of every single thing they accused the Clintons of and much, much, more.

@NotConvinced ummm, a scientific fact, you fool.

@NotConvinced the fall-back insulting remark when you have no intelligent response.

@NotConvinced. "Implicate"? He (drump) was directly quoted in all the media! "Doorman" my ass!
