Trump's Love Affair with White Supremacists

[Articulate_and_Analytical]

Earlier this month in Florida, 39 white supremacists from the Unforgiven and United Aryan Brotherhood were arrested and charged with a multitude of federal firearms and drug violations. More than 100 illegal firearms were seized during the arrests, along with a rocket launcher, several pipe bombs and several pounds of illegal drugs like crystal meth.

Last month in Pennsylvania, a right-wing extremist named Robert Bowers killed 11 people and injured six more. Bowers screamed anti-Semitic phrases, including "All Jews must die," as he fired indiscriminately at people at the Church of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.

The violence in Pittsburgh follows on the heels of a string of attempted pipe bombings by a Cesar Sayoc, a white supremacist who targeted former president Barack Obama, former president Bill Clinton, former secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros, actor-director Robert De Niro and other Trump critics.


Right-wing extremists like Robert Bowers, James Alex Fields, Dylann Roof and Wade Michael Page have killed hundreds of people in the United States. They use the same weapons and tactics as Islamic-extremist groups and consistently kill more and more Americans each year. According to FBI Director Chris Wray, the threat of white supremacist violence in the US is as at least as dangerous as that posed by Islamist groups such as Isis, so how is Trump and his administration responding to this threat?

Trump and his administration have WITHDRAWN FEDERAL RESOURCES from the fight against white supremacists and other right-wing domestic terrorist groups.

The Countering Violent Extremism Task Force has worked directly with law-enforcement and others to assist in combatting hate groups around the country. Trump announced his decision to COMPLETELY DEFUND task force just days after the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh where Robert Bowers yelled anti-Semitic rhetoric and killed 11 people.

We have at least one act of right-wing terror here on American soil every month, and Trump just decided to cut millions of dollars from the budget for combatting right-wing terror.


Trump is aiding and abetting right-wing terror in this nation.


Honestly, we shouldn’t be too surprised. Trump campaigned for the white supremacist vote, throughout his campaign and his presidency, Trump has surrounded himself with white supremacist advisers, the Ku Klux Klan’s official newspaper endorsed Trump’s candidacy, the Daily Stormer, the white supremacist website founded by neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin, has embraced Donald Trump as one of their own and KKK leader David Duke and other prominent white supremacists have identified Trump as one of their most valued allies.

The FBI sees white supremacists, neo-Nazis, neo-fascists, right-wing terrorists and other right-wing extremists as a threat to America’s national security, however, Trump sees them as his base!

Donald Trump is a white supremacist. The evidence in support of this conclusion is overwhelming.

Well, one might point out the fact that Trump refused to rent to African-American people at his rental properties in New York, The Justice Department had to take legal action to FORCE Trump to stop his racist policies.

Much more recently, we've seen Trump seek the support of white nationalists by targeting racial, religious, and ethnic minorities in incendiary speeches and oppressive policies.

Trump has spent years hurling racist insults at Africans, African Americans, Latinos, the Chinese, the Arabs and others. He's spent years aiding and abetting white supremacists and encouraging them to commit acts of violence against non-whites.

And Republicans have stood by silently the entire time.

When November rolls around, the Republican enabling of Trump's racist antics is going to cost the Republicans millions of votes. We could see the Republicans lose the White House and both houses of Congress.

Do the Republicans not see this?

Trump reveals a striking divide with his reaction to armed thugs vs George Floyd protesters

President Donald Trump reacted in remarkably different ways to protests at the start and end of May.

When predominantly white demonstrators carried military-style rifles to the Michigan Statehouse to protest Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home orders, the president urged her to give in to their demands to reopen the state as the coronavirus pandemic raged.


“The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire,” Trump tweeted May 1. “These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.”


Whitmer and some lawmakers said they felt threatened by the armed demonstrators, who screamed at police and threatened to hang the governor.

Protests over the police killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, were met by officers wearing riot gear and deploying tear gas, and some demonstrators set fires and vandalized stores — which prompted a violent threat from the president.

“These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen,” Trump tweeted May 29. “Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!”


Twitter hid the tweet for violating site rules against glorifying violence, which prevented responses and retweets, and the official White House account tweeted the same message hours later.

“Trump, Chauvin and Amy Cooper are in the same slime,” Colbert King explained. “Yes, the Twin Cities situation is the latest in a line of videos showing unarmed black men being killed in police encounters. And yes, the Central Park scene was different, a white woman making a false accusation against an innocent black man — a vicious and vintage-American pursuit that for centuries has endangered, imprisoned and destroyed black men.”

“Yes, too, both are distinct from Trump’s practice of using the presidential bully pulpit to blatantly lie, smear and eke out all sorts of damage — just for his personal benefit,” he added. “But the brutal cop, devilish dog-walker and despicable president share one condition: They carried out brutish acts apparently unencumbered by the morals that restrain decent, civilized people. To remind: Minneapolis’s paroxysms of rage were induced by the sight of an unarmed black man dying while a white cop kneeled on his neck.”

Turning to Trump he wrote, “H.L. Mencken presciently saw this day coming when he wrote in Baltimore’s Evening Sun on July 26, 1920, ‘On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron,'” before lamenting: ” America, we reap what we sow.”

Jimmy Kimmel Says “Enough Is Enough,” Calls For Trump To Be Voted Out
In Emotional Monologue About George Floyd’s Death

“Justice For George”

May 29,2020

Kimmel ran down the facts of the case as he saw them, and lamented
“the senseless acts of violence that were brought on by a senseless act
of violence,” and “the loop we get stuck into,” which, he claimed,
devolves into a litany of finger-pointing and blame shifting.

But worse, Kimmel said, was President Donald Trump’s Twitter threat to shoot looters.

“I especially want to pose this question to older people who have seen (racial conflict) before:

“Is this who you want leading us for President?”

He concluded, “Enough is enough. We’ve got to vote this guy out already.”

https://deadline.com/2020/05/jimmy-k...eo-1202947170/

Kimmel then shared a video that has gone viral. In it, Nashville actor Tyler Merritt,
in a close-up, recites a monologue titled Before You Call The Cops.

30 May 2020

In subsequent tweets, the president again claimed without evidence the protest
(Justice for George) was “professionally managed” and involved “organised groups”.
The protesters, Trump said, “had little to do with the memory of George Floyd."
"They were just there to cause trouble … Tonight, I understand, is MAGA NIGHT
AT THE WHITE HOUSE???”

It was not immediately clear if the president was calling for a counter-protest
by his supporters, an event which would be likely to enflame tensions already
running high.

Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, were due on Saturday to fly to Florida
for the rescheduled launch of a manned SpaceX mission, their public schedule
bringing them back to the White House at 8.15pm.

A video of a chainsaw-wielding Texas man threatening protesters while shouting the n-word went viral on Friday.

While many people were shocked by the video, Mercedes Schlapp, one of President Donald Trump’s top advisors supported the racism and vigilantism in documented in the video.

Trump and his allies for years have amplified racist messages on Twitter while simultaneously telling black and Hispanic voters to vote for Trump.

Schlapp favorably promoted a man spewing anti-black racism and on the other she urged black people to vote for Trump.

Remember when Trump said he only hires the best people?

Trump doesn't even hire the best racists.

He hires racists that are incredibly stupid.

 

[magicalmoments]

Impeached president trump says he would have run unarmed into a school shooting to try and save people. Hah! What does he do when there is a peaceful protest outside the Whitehouse? He locks himself in an underground bunker and starts building a wall around it.
Tells you everything you need to know.

He can't be a white supremacist. He's orange.

He has used some racist language, which will be remembered as part of his legacy. Another part is helping poor citizens of all races get jobs and improve quality of life. Which part matters more will be counted later this year.

 

[Ziggins]

I wonder how much of this is strategy, and how early did he plan this or foresee the consequences:
1. He makes a few racist comments.
2. The Dems run out of anything else, make everything about race, and degenerate into BLM riots and burning mostly deep blue cities.

I don't think that Donald thinks more than ten minutes ahead. If he did, he wouldn't be in so many pickles now.

Stephen Miller’s Affinity for White Nationalism Revealed in Leaked Emails

In the run-up to the 2016 election, White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller promoted white nationalist literature, pushed racist immigration stories and obsessed over the loss of Confederate symbols after Dylann Roof’s murderous rampage.

The emails, which Miller sent to the conservative website Breitbart News in 2015 and 2016, showcase the extremist, anti-immigrant ideology that undergirds the policies he has helped create as an architect of Donald Trump’s presidency. These policies include reportedly setting arrest quotas for undocumented immigrants, an executive order effectively banning immigration from five Muslim-majority countries and a policy of family separation at refugee resettlement facilities that the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General said is causing “intense trauma” in children.

Trump stoking racist fears about suburbs

MSNBC’s John Heilemann said President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign was already running on fumes, with more than three months to go before the election.

The president delivered a political speech on the White House lawn, flanked by two pickup trucks, where he suggested that Joe Biden’s housing desegregation plan was an attack on white Americans.


“The subtly of the pickup trucks, the staging, subtle messaging going on there,” Heilemann told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

The racial message was hardly subtle, Heilemann said.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/tr...oe-contributor/?utm_source=push_notifications

“The campaign’s breaking down,” Heilemann said. “They’re showing him polling that shows he’s bleeding out in the suburbs. Trump looks at that and says, understands how dire his political situation is, sees the suburban loss he’s suffering and says, I have to fix my situations with the suburb, that equals white. I’m going to play the race card — hey, white people, if you vote for Joe Biden you get black people showing up in your neighborhoods. This is standard 1970s, Wallace-Nixon affair — we made those comparisons in the past, but nothing quite this blatant. That’s the card he’s playing.”

 

[KeithD]

Trump's already completely lost the suburbs.

 

[YDB95]

The trouble is, he lost massive ground there in 2016 relative to previous Republican nominees. The one-two punch of the Russians and big gains among rural whites offset the difference by juuuust enough. I don't think it's going to happen again, but I'll be breathing a LOT easier after Nov. 3!

 

[allison22]

"It’s important to note that the Republican Party has a decades-long history of deploying, in various degrees, what has been dubbed “the Southern Strategy,” a racist dog-whistle politics that fuels white grievances and exploits racial divisions to win elections. In 2005, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the NAACP for these tactics. But that was 2005…"

"The one enduring, animating issue that fueled white flight from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party has been civil rights for African Americans. This was the issue that originally pulled Jerry Falwell Sr. out from behind the pulpit and into organizing the Christian right political movement. This white-supremacist undercurrent, tied to White Christian identity, is the key to understanding our current political polarization and the transformation of our two political parties over the last few decades."
