I honestly don't think he's smart enough to really exploit our divisions. He may take advantage of them in a small way or add fuel to the fire, as it where, but in terms of consciously with premeditated planning exploiting? Nah.
Libs are the kings of exploiting our divisions. Every other sentence is white privilege and white supremacy, racist racist racist.
It's not his job to be the arbitrator of our highest values, especially seeing neither side agrees what our highest values even means. It's his job to be President. A part of doing that job well is pissing off some other countries when needed.

If the right would stop propagating racism, white privelege and white supremacy, those accusations would stop, obviously. The right has already divided us, we're just trying to get back together but Trump won't let that happen, he only widens the divides. You know this.
I can think of one specific thing Trump has done that encourages racial division. He tried to walk it back, but it was too late. I did not see more than that one thing. I do not see people trying to bring us together and I do not see Trump stopping them. I see people trying to divide us into superficial categories and their opponents accepting that premise while the rest of us are told we are in one stupid category or the other.
I can think of one specific thing Trump has done that encourages racial division.
He was sued by the federal government for racial discrimination. He personally requested his employees mark minority applicants to his properties with a large "C", so your attempts to play down his racism are silly. He literally refers to African-Americans as "the blacks", which is essentially prison terminology.
I am talking about Charlottesville when Trump was divisive concerning race, yes. I am not talking about the countless other times that people said Trump was being divisive concerning race.
These are all fairly vague, so I can only guess at what you are specifically referencing, since you provide no reference. Putting numbers next to your comments does not make them explicit.
"Black professionals" is vague even with a "1.3" next to it.
If "Barack Obama's citizenship" was not racially divisive when the Hillary campaign cooked it up, then it is not more divisive when Trump ran with it, even with a "1.4" next to it.
"Mexican Immigrants" is a pretty broad subject, and not one I am sure Trump has commented on. It's not actually the same thing as border security by the way.
The "Muslim Immigration Ban" was certainly divisive, that's true. I'll add that to my list. It wasn't, however, race related and ultimately would have had no impact on a person who simply happens to be Muslim, regardless of complexion.
I'll skip down to 3.2 since the ones in between are either to vague to know what you are referencing or are repeats of previous vague references.
The Congressional Black Caucus is a racist organization. I don't know how Trump offended them, but I'm not at all surprised. A quote might help.
Did Trump make derogatory comments toward one of the most corrupt and violent country in the western hemisphere? Did he say something offensive about the one of the countries that scams the US the most? Was that a racial thing? I'd have to see a quote or something. "3.3" isn't convincing enough.
Hurricane Maria. I understand that was a shit show. Can't say that's because of race though. Any evidence other than a "3.4"? What did Arpaio do, that pardoning him is racially divisive?
NFL racial inequality protests found their genesis in a hollow narrative based on "hands up don't shoot" which was supported by 0 statistical data. Nonetheless, celebrities capitalize on this false narrative by signalling their virtue whenever cameras are on. Kneeling during the National Anthem was nothing more than another example of this. Trump was wrong to follow presidential precedent and stick his nose in these non-governmental affairs, but it's not a race issue.
I don't know what Trump said to make Elizabeth Warren lie about being a Native American, but he should apologize. She shouldn't be faking her intersectional credentials and he should be very very sorry for that. When the Cherokee Nation condemned her actions, I hope he was watching and was very very sorry for his non-existent part in the matter.
Who was the "pretty korean lady" and what is racist about her?
Do you believe shithole countries do not exist? Lots of eastern block shithole countries are full of white people. It's not a race thing.
These are all fairly vague, so I can only guess at what you are specifically referencing, since you provide no reference. Putting numbers next to your comments does not make them explicit.
The list is copied, hence the numbers. They are all well documented and had you been following Trump through his campaign and election, you'd know about each one of these.
"Mexican Immigrants" is a pretty broad subject, and not one I am sure Trump has commented on.
Are you serious? He called them rapists and murderers, don't you remember? It would appear your memory of all these events is really shaky, you might want to revisit those events to refresh it.
No, many are just vague subjects in a list from an unknown source. A link would be a great way to show exactly what they are referring to. Saying “well documented” doesn’t mean anything unless you are showing the documentation.
Are you serious? He called them rapists and murderers, don't you remember?
I remember when he called MS13 members rapists and murderers, but that’s what they are. I also remember a manufactured controversy about it. But those are criminals, not immigrants, and they mostly don’t even come from Mexico (though through it). But again, if your referencing more about it, a link would be great.
I remember when he called MS13 members rapists and murderers,
You don't appear to be too up on current events with Trump, or are coveniently forgetting what he said. The list was from wiki, that's how well known are those events. The MS13 accusations were in addition to these.
What did Trump say regarding Charlotsville events that was racially devisive
Hello BO:
I didn't distinguish "racial" divisiveness from just plain old divisiveness..
Speaking of the differences between the sides in Charlotsville, one must keep in mind that ONE side was white supremacists, KKK, and neo-nazis.. The OTHER side wasn't..
Trump said, there were "some VERY FINE people, on both sides"
Trump said, there were "some VERY FINE people, on both sides"
It seems he was saying the truth. There were good people on both sides of this conflict. There were also extremists on both sides, much more of these on the left but also some on the right.
There were also non-racists who didn’t want the statues removed.
Hello A:
I agree.. But, as a non racist myself, if I FOUND myself in a crowd of VIOLENTLY racist mother fuckers, I'd find ANOTHER way to protest the removal of these statues.
That they stood head and shoulders WITH the racists, means they'll get attacked WITH the racists..
It reminds me of a time back in 1968 when I was on the sidelines wearing my uniform protesting AGAINST the anti war PROTESTERS.. The cops ATTACKED the protesters, and didn't give a shit that I wasn't one of them.. The cops beat the shit out of me too..
Guess what side I was on when the NEXT antiwar march happened?
I don’t know anything about the makeup of the actual people at Charlottesville other than the basics. My point is that some people in favor of keeping statues are not racist.
Though it’s way off topic, if you let a single interaction with some local police determine your position on US Foriegn Policy, then I have to wonder about your principles.
My point is that some people in favor of keeping statues are not racist.
Hello again, A:
The civil war was a war about RACE.. If the statues of the generals who FOUGHT the war have HISTORICAL and CULTURAL significance, they should be displayed in museums.. That's where we display history and culture
However, if you think these statues should BE in the public square, you don't think that because of their historical significance.. You think that because you don't like how the war ABOUT race, ended..
If the statues of the generals who FOUGHT the war have HISTORICAL and CULTURAL significance, they should be displayed in museums.
Perhaps. That’s a conversation to have. But a mob tearing down whatever they decide they hate is not a conversation. It’s not a start of a conversation. It’s not acceptable behavior period.
if you think these statues should BE in the public square, you don't think that because of their historical significance.. You think that because you don't like how the war ABOUT race, ended.
Maybe. Undoubtedly for some. But that’s an assumption you are making about your opponents. Not necessarily a true one.
If the right would stop propagating racism, white privelege and white supremacy, those accusations would stop, obviously.
If stupid dickheads like you would stop telling lies about themselves, Mr "Songwriting Degree from Berkeley", then the left would have considerably greater credibility when attacking the right. I'm on the left and you must have attacked me over fifty times in just the past week. It isn't my fault that you're a liar. Nor is it my fault you are too stupid to understand that unity is the right's greatest strength.
Brother, everything you write is predictable, false, stupid and boring. You are very literally an imbecile. Just like every other imbecile on the planet, you have great difficulty shutting your stupid mouth. It just runs and runs and runs, flushing out rhetorical stools with the veracity of Hitler and the rate of fire of a belt-fed machine gun.
To me "white privilege" sounds like a racist term, similar to how Hitler labelled all the Jews as privileged capitalists. There are no laws in the US which negatively discrimitate on the basis of skin color.
That's obviously because you're a racist though. Do some research on the concept and application of the double negative.
similar to how Hitler labelled all the Jews as privileged capitalists
One of the main reasons Hitler hated Jews is because he blamed them for Communism you astonishingly ignorant retard. He literally believed Bolshevism was a Jewish conspiracy.
There are no laws in the US which negatively discrimitate on the basis of skin color.
Not even relevant. What in God's name does the law have to do with racism?
You are pulling accusations out of your own ass. Throw it against the wall and hope it sticks, eh, Nom? White privilege is a racist term in the US. White people are not given any advantages by the Law, in modern-day America. In fact, they are in many cases disadvanteged by the law, positive discrimination being one example.
One of the main reasons Hitler hated Jews is because he blamed them for Communism you astonishingly ignorant retard
Nom, before you go yapping your mouth about how someone is a "retard", do at least some basic research of the subject you claim to be "expert" in. Otherwise you're making yourself look like a retard. HITLER: "We shall only have peace when we have won the war. The Jewish capitalist world will not survive the twentieth century"
Not even relevant. What in God's name does the law have to do with racism?
Don't try to deflect here. Racism is a very broad term and can be understood in many different ways nowadays, especially by clinical leftist retards. I was talking specifically about "white privilege". White privilege used to be coded into law in the US, but that is no longer the case. This has everything to do with law.
Absolutely laughable. You are illustrating the validity of the premise with every idiotic word you write. You just tried to argue that there can't be any racism because it isn't demanded by law. You're retarded in a very literal sense.
Throw it against the wall and hope it sticks, eh, Nom?
You just insisted to us that pointing out white racism is racist.
White privilege is a racist term in the US.
And thanks for doing it again. You obviously want to ban blacks from complaining about white racism while you are simultaneously arguing that you're not a racist. Wtf even goes on in your head?
You just use these utterly absurd false equivalences as part of your standard repertoire of far right white supremacist Jew rubbish. How about this, moron? Calling the Holocaust the Holocaust is racist. You are being racist against Nazis (Aryans). That's literally the equivalent stupidity of the argument you are attempting to make. Blacks endured 400 years of slavery and whites did not, hence clearly whites have been privileged in their experiences whereas in comparison whites have not.
Now shut your stupid neo-Nazi face hole and go play cards with your multiple personalities, you retarded Jew prick.
1. It makes no sense to argue with a blind retard who cannot even read.
2. Nowhere in my initial post was I speaking about Trump's RACISM. I specifically mentioned the term "white privilege". And there is NO "white privilege" in the US. Using that term is racist, in the same way as saying "lazy niggers" is racist. In both situations a group of people is being accused of something solely on the basis of their skin color.
3. Go fuck yourself retard.
4. The good news is that if you are a typical leftist bolshevik, than these retards pose no threat to society, since retarded blind people are uncapable of organized violence.
If the right would stop propagating racism, white privelege and white supremacy, those accusations would stop, obviously.
Those accusations are hurled at anyone who disagrees on matter completely unrelated to race. As such, those accusations are most often baseless. They rely on the rare occurrences wherein they are correct to paint with one huge brush of racism.
During a campaign stop in Iowa Tuesday, Democrat presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand argued America needs to give amnesty to all illegal aliens living in the United States in addition to allowing them into the social security system.
SUPER STUPID is your DEMORAT BUDDY looking to seek the HIGHEST VALUE of your LOVED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS?????????????????????????????????????????
