Its all Trumpery

Tell me, how do you see Trump “destroying” this country?
I honestly want to know what you think.

No…No you don’t, but lets pretend you do… Lets also pretend that you are capable of actually reading through this lengthy post…

Why do I think Trump is an existential danger to our country?

There is the flippant way he talks about dismantling the constitution:

Trump: Washington Post, I have to tell you, I have respect for Jeff Bezos, but he bought the Washington Post to have political influence, and I gotta tell you, we have a different country than we used to have. We have a different… he owns Amazon, he want’s political influence so that Amazon will benefit from it, that’s not right. And believe me, if I become president, oh, do they have problems. They’re going to have such problems.

And one of the things I’m going to do, and this is only going to make it tougher for me, and I’ve never said this before, but one of the things I’m gonna do, if I win, and I hope I do, and we’re certainly leading, is I’m going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles we can sue them and win lots of money. We’ll open up those libel laws so that when the New York Times writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace or when the Washington Post, which is there for other reasons, writes a hit piece we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning because they are totally protected. You see, with me they’re not protected because I’m not like other people, but I’m not taking money, I’m not taking their money.

So we’re going to open up those libel laws, folks, and we’re gonna have people sue you like you’ve got sued before. We have many things to do. We have many, many things to do.

AND…

Donald Trump proposed a system of religious discrimination for U.S. immigration policy on Monday, advocating a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” according to a written campaign statement.

The incendiary proposal was swiftly denounced by Trump’s rivals in both parties, and as a policy proposal, it is probably illegal.

“I believe Trump’s unprecedented proposal would violate our Constitution,” said Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe, “both the First Amendment’s Religion Clauses and the equality dimension of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.”

AND…

After launching his presidential campaign by calling Mexican immigrants “rapists,” Donald Trump is now following up on his nativist rhetoric by taking aim at the Constitution.

On Tuesday, when Bill O’Reilly challenged the presidential hopeful’s proposal to end birthright citizenship in light of the 14th Amendment, Trump hit back: “Bill, I think you’re wrong about the 14th amendment and frankly the whole thing about anchor babies.”

“I can quote it, you want me to quote you the amendment?” O’Reilly responded. “If you’re born here you’re a citizen. Period!”

But Trump insisted he and his lawyers have found some disturbing holes in the amendment, which unequivocally states that anyone born in the United States is in fact an American citizen.

AND…

Under assault from Democrats and Republicans alike, Donald J. Trump on Friday drew back from his call for a mandatory registry of Muslims in the United States, trying to quell one of the ugliest controversies yet in a presidential campaign like few others.

Or perhaps it his eagerness to abandon the international rules of war, which would make us pariahs:

Donald Trump touted the benefits of waterboarding in a campaign rally on Monday night, telling a crowd that “you bet your ass” he would bring it back into use.

Addressing thousands of people in Columbus, Ohio, the Republican frontrunner praised waterboarding, an interrogation method that has been called torture. “I would approve more than that,” he said.

Trump told supporters: “Would I approve waterboarding? You bet your ass I would. In a heartbeat. I would approve more than that. It works.”

The Republican frontrunner then added “… and if it doesn’t work, they deserve it anyway for what they do to us”.

AND…

“The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families,” Trump said on Fox and Friends on Dec. 2, 2015. “They care about their lives, don’t kid yourself. When they say they don’t care about their lives, you have to take out their families.”

Trump got a challenge on this at the CNN presidential debate in Las Vegas. CNN aired a pre-recorded question from Josh Jacob, a student at Georgia Tech: “Recently Donald Trump mentioned we must kill the families of ISIS members. However, this violates the principle of distinction between civilians and combatants in international law.”

Trump doubled down on his position: “I would be very, very firm with families” and repeating his sentiment that even though people think “they may not care much about their lives … they do care, believe it or not, about their families’ lives.”

Or perhaps I worry that he will nuke Finland because Finnish president Sauli Niinistö makes the mistake of calling Trump’s fingers short:

Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer. He thinks nothing of saying the most hurtful thing about someone else, but when he hears a whisper that runs counter to his own vainglorious self-image, he coils like a caged ferret. Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits.

Trump is a petty bully that threatens lawsuits as a way to silence critics and to bully folks he believes have slighted him- imagine the abuses he could engage in if president:

Or perhaps I am concerned that our own allies are horrified at the possibility of an america led by a dangerously insecure fascist bully:

London (CNN)For Donald Trump, in politics as in life, it seems the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

But Monday, the Republican presidential candidate is entering unfamiliar territory, even by his larger-than-life standards, as members of the British Parliament hold a debate over a petition calling for the U.S. businessman-turned-politician to be banned from the country.

AND…

If Donald Trump were to become president, he’d be starting off on the wrong foot with many of America’s allies.

OR perhaps I am alarmed that he has expressed admiration for the fascist Putin, and that russian fascists feel the same way about Trump:

Donald Trump has collected a lovely bouquet of endorsements in his path to the presidency: Chris Christie, David Duke, Jean-Marie Le Pen, the KKK. It’s the kind of praise that would make a mother proud, if your mother happened to be Leni Riefenstahl. And now he can add Russian philosopher, TV personality, and Duck Dynasty lookalike Alexander Dugin.
Dugin is largely unknown in the West. If non-specialists have heard of him, it is either because of exaggerated claims of his influence over Putin, or because of his 2014 suggestion of a final solution to the Ukrainian problem: “To kill, kill, kill. There should be no more conversations.” By comparison, Trump’s plan for building a border wall looks positively humanitarian.

Or perhaps you would listen to the 85 GOP security experts that also seem to feel that Trump would endanger America:

Sixty Republican national security heavyweights vow in an open letter released late Wednesday to work “energetically” to prevent GOP front-runner Donald Trump from winning the party’s nomination.

The experts, who represent vastly divergent GOP ideologies, describe Trump’s vision of American influence as “wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle.” They warned that a Trump presidency would “make America less safe” and “diminish our standing in the world.”

Eliot Cohen, a former State Department official, and Bryan McGrath, a former Mitt Romney adviser, organized the letter, published by national security news site War on the Rocks. It was released the day after Trump won seven states on Super Tuesday, stoking his momentum and giving fresh urgency to a NeverTrump movement of Republican officials working against him.

In just 454 words, the letter signatories eviscerated Trump for his “expansive use of torture,” his “hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric,” and his expressed admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin. They slammed his proposal to require Mexico to build a wall on its border with the U.S. and accused him of behaving more like a “racketeer” than a dependable ally for suggesting that Japan pay for military protection. They accused Trump of holding an amorphous worldview — switching from isolationism to interventionism, and refusing to acknowledge his past support for the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and the 2011 intervention in Libya.

“We accept that views evolve over time, but this is simply misrepresentation,” they wrote in the letter, signed by several people who backed the Iraq war and who favored supporting the opposition fighters in Libya.

Some on Twitter mocked the signatories for taking a stand only after Trump’s Super Tuesday victories. But some signers have long been raising alarm over Trump’s candidacy.

Max Boot, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and an adviser to rival GOP candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), has been bashing Trump on Twitter long before the #NeverTrump movement made it safe to do so. Former State Department official Robert Kagan wrote a scathing article last week blaming the Republican Party for quietly embracing the same bigoted sentiments that Trump has espoused. Philip D. Zelikow, an attorney who headed the commission charged with uncovering what went wrong in the leadup to the Sept. 11 attacks, shut down Trump’s claim in December that the hijackers sent their wives to Saudi Arabia before the attacks.

The letter represented a rare consensus from a disparate group of people. For example, former Pentagon adviser Matthew Kroenig is an outspoken critic of the Iran nuclear deal and has called for a military attack on Iran again and again. But Tufts University’s Daniel Drezner has long challenged the long-term strategic wisdom of a military strike on Iran and has acknowledged the nonproliferation benefits of the nuclear deal, while expressing skepticism about its regional implications.

The 60 signers pledged not to support the Republican ticket in the November elections if Trump ends up as the nominee, effectively killing any chance of a high-level Trump administration job for any of them. McGrath told The Washington Post this doesn’t mean the signers would defect from the GOP and vote for the Democratic nominee, but some of his colleagues admitted to Politico they felt they had no other choice.

UPDATE: By Thursday afternoon, the number of signatories rose to 85. The letter generated enough traffic to crash the War on the Rocks site. “We are working on fixing it,” Editor-in-Chief Ryan Evans said just after 3 p.m.

Remember, most adults in this country say the same thing about Sanders.

The problem is people like you and Steve are working hard to turn a blind eye to it… to the childish behavior, the lies he tells, the bigotry and ignorance he coddles- and THAT attitude is precisely what led to the creation of this monster.

This will end in one of two ways- either he will destroy the GOP, or he actually becomes president and destroys this country in every way he can.

I would cheer the first option, but I shudder what dystopian nightmare the ‘special’ idiots such as yourselves would create to replace the GOP… because clearly the GOP we have isn’t crazy enough, fascist enough, or ignorant enough to suit your tastes…

Should Hillary have said that anyone who was a klansman is an insult to the human race, and that she was glad he no longer walked the earth? Perhaps- but then you all would be the first to condemn her for being heartless and divisive…

It hardly compares to this:

Trump Gives White Supremacist Radio Show Full Press Credentials, Interview With Son

After blaming a faulty earpiece on his KKK blunder, Donald Trump got testy with the mainstream media for asking him over and over again why he didn’t immediately disavow the KKK.
He was so annoyed, in fact, he asked “Today” show hosts Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie on Monday, “How many times do I have to continue to disavow people?”
But, as it turns out, Trump’s idea of disavowing hateful white supremacist groups includes giving them full credentials to his rallies and, just to make sure they got the message loud and clear, he also threw in an exclusive interview with his son, Donald Trump Jr.

Trump Declined To Disavow Support From Former KKK Leader On CNN’s State Of The Union

Former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke Voiced Support For GOP Front-Runner On Radio Show. BuzzFeed News reported that on the February 24 edition of his radio program, white nationalist and former Ku Klux Klan (KKK) grand wizard David Duke urged his listeners to vote and volunteer for Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, saying that “voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage.” He continued: “I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump, in fact I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action.” [BuzzFeed News, 2/25/16]

CNN’s Jake Tapper Asks Trump: “Will You Unequivocally Condemn David Duke?” On the February 28 edition of CNN’s State of the Union, host Jake Tapper asked Trump about Duke’s support for him and whether Trump would “unequivocally condemn” the former KKK leader and disavow support from Duke and other white supremacist groups, including the KKK. Trump responded to Tapper’s question by saying, “I don’t know anything about David Duke,” and “You wouldn’t want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about”:

JAKE TAPPER (HOST): I want to ask you about the Anti-Defamation League, which this week called on you to publicly condemn unequivocally the racism of former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, who recently said that voting against you at this point would be treason to your heritage. Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don’t want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this election?

DONALD TRUMP: Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke, OK? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don’t know. I don’t know, did he endorse me, or what’s going on? Because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists. And so you’re asking me a question that I’m supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.

TAPPER: But I guess the question from the Anti-Defamation League is even if you don’t know about their endorsement there are these groups and individuals endorsing you, would you just say unequivocally you condemn them and you don’t want their support

TRUMP: Well I have to look at the group. I don’t know what group you are talking about. You wouldn’t want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about; I’d have to look. If you would send me a list of the groups, I will do research on them and certainly I would disavow if I thought there was something wrong, but –

TAPPER: The Ku Klux Klan?

TRUMP: — you may have groups in there that are totally fine and it would be very unfair. So give me a list of the groups, and I’ll let you know.

TAPPER: OK, I mean I’m just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here, but –

TRUMP: I don’t know any — honestly I don’t know David Duke. I don’t believe I’ve ever met him. I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet him, and I just don’t know anything about him. [CNN, State of the Union, 2/28/16]

Trump’s Campaign Has Long History Of White Nationalist Support

Former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke: Trump Is “Certainly The Best Of The Lot.” BuzzFeed News reported that in August 2015, Duke praised Trump as “the best of the lot” running for president because he “understands the real sentiment of America.” From BuzzFeed:

David Duke, a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and self-described “racial realist,” says Donald Trump is the best Republican candidate for president because he “understands the real sentiment of America.” (added this b/c thought it was confusing to start on a quote)

[...]

“Trump, he’s really going all out. He’s saying what no other Republicans have said, few conservatives say. And he’s also gone to point where he says it’s not just illegal immigration, it’s legal immigration,” Duke said, adding Trump has also talked about companies are taking advantage of the H1B visa program. Duke added that he felt the big technology companies were headed by “Zios.”

Duke said The Donald, while untrustworthy, was “the best of the lot” running.

“So this is a great opportunity,” Duke said. “So although we can’t trust him to do what he says, the other Republican candidates won’t even say what he says. So he’s certainly the best of the lot. And he’s certainly somebody that we should get behind in terms, ya know, raising the image of this thing.” [BuzzFeed, 8/25/15]

White Nationalist Writer John Derbyshire: “Trump Is Doing The Lord’s Work.” White nationalist writer John Derbyshire, who, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), was fired from National Review for his racist views, praised Trump during the August 15 edition of his radio show: “Trump is doing the Lord’s work shaking up the GOP,” he said, adding that the reason he and other Trump supporters favor the candidate is “following the rules has gotten us … nowhere”:

Meanwhile, however things come out at last, Trump is doing the Lord’s work shaking up the GOP side of the 2016 campaign. There were the professional pols in the August 6th debate, reading the focus-group-tested answers from their shirt cuffs; and there was Trump breaking the rules of genteel politics, rattling the GOP teacups and refusing the cucumber sandwiches.

The reason we Trump supporters like the guy so much is precisely that following the rules has gotten us — us patriotic conservatives — nowhere. Following the rules got us eight years of George W. Bush, who gave us open borders, missionary wars, and “When somebody hurts, Government has got to move.” Then it got us eight years of Barack Obama, who gave us open borders, amnesty for foreign scofflaws, radical-left Supreme Court justices, and eighteen trillion dollars of debt.

Maybe if we knock over a few teacups and throw the cucumber sandwiches around, we’ll get some conservative policies at last. Hey, it’s worth a try. [Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed 3/1/16, JohnDerbyshire.com, 8/15/15]

Anti-Immigration Hate Website Calls Trump A Supporter. The SPLC describes VDARE.com as “an anti-immigration hate website” with a white nationalist ideology that “regularly publishes articles by prominent white nationalists, race scientists and anti-Semites.” In a December 2015 post, VDARE writer Patrick Cleburne highlighted Trump’s plan to halt Muslims from entering the United States under the headline “Donald Trump Agrees With VDARE.com: Halt Muslim Immigration!” adding, “Once again — Donald Trump is indispensible.” The website then used Trump’s proposal to raise funds, writing in a pitch, “Because of the improbable rise of Donald Trump … our ideas are now firmly in the mainstream”:

Because of the improbable rise of Donald Trump, a billionaire who is not vulnerable to the machinations of the Donor Class, our ideas are now firmly in the mainstream. Indeed, they are practically the platform of the Republican frontrunner. And more importantly, candidates who have a mixed record on this issue, most notably Ted Cruz, are now running to play catch up.

[...]

Even as this is written, Donald Trump has come out for a moratorium on Muslim immigration, just days after our Editor-in-Chief Peter Brimelow advocated precisely the same thing. They may not admit it, but more people than ever are reading VDARE.com. And finally, people are beginning to act. [Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed 3/1/16; VDARE.com, 12/7/15; 12/8/15]

Anti-Semitic Writer Kevin MacDonald: “This May Be The Last Chance For Whites To Elect A President Who Represents Their Interests.” Kevin MacDonald, who the SPLC has called “the neo-Nazi movement’s favorite academic,” wrote in the Occidental Observer in December 2015 that “given the steadily falling White percentage of the electorate … this may be the last chance for Whites to elect a president who represents their interests”:

Make no mistake about it, if Trump is nominated, there will be an unprecedented bombardment of propaganda against him that will make the 1964 anti-Goldwater campaign look tame by comparison. But, given the steadily falling White percentage of the electorate (definitely a design feature of the current policy), this may be the last chance for Whites to elect a president who represents their interests. I suspect that quite a bit of the Republican Jewish Coalition money will actively support Hillary, and others will sit on their hands. Not only are Trump’s declarations on immigration and refugees anathema to them, he has not towed the neocon lines on Syria, the Iraq war, or Putin. His speech at the recent RJC forum (where he also deviated from Israel Lobby positions on Israel’s supposed commitment to peace with the Palestinians and placing Israel’s capital in Jerusalem) was basically a statement to the effect that “I don’t need your money; I am way ahead in the polls, so get used to it.” To put it mildly, the RJC is not used to such chutzpah. The unprincipled Marco Rubio, who will do anything for their money, is much more acceptable.

Trump is calling into question the entire worldview that pervades our hostile elites. And that is unforgivable. [Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed 3/1/16; Occidental Observer, 12/8/15]

Trump Has Seemingly Symbiotic Relationship With White Nationalist Groups

Politico: White Supremacists Use Trump In Their “Outreach Efforts.” In a December 2015 article, Politico’s Ben Schreckinger outlined how white nationalist groups were using Donald Trump’s language to “invigorate and expand their movement.” While Schreckinger acknowledged that Trump does not “belong to or endorse white supremacist groups,” analysts say his rhetoric is likely to incite violence against American Muslims:

The Ku Klux Klan is using Donald Trump as a talking point in its outreach efforts. Stormfront, the most prominent American white supremacist website, is upgrading its servers in part to cope with a Trump traffic spike. And former Louisiana Rep. David Duke reports that the businessman has given more Americans cover to speak out loud about white nationalism than at any time since his own political campaigns in the 1990s.

As hate group monitors at the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League warn that Trump’s rhetoric is conducive to anti-Muslim violence, white nationalist leaders are capitalizing on his candidacy to invigorate and expand their movement.

According to experts at the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center who monitor hate groups and anti-Muslim sentiment, Trump’s callon Monday to halt the entrance of Muslims to the United States is driving online chatter among white supremacists and is likely to inspire violence against Muslims. [Politico, 12/10/15]

VDARE.Com: Trump’s Rhetoric Brought White Nationalist Group’s Ideas “Firmly In The Mainstream.” In a December 2015 post, the anti-immigration website cited Trump’s call for a ban on Muslim immigration and concluded, “Because of the improbable rise of Donald Trump … our ideas are now firmly in the mainstream.” The post continued that “this isn’t enough” before asking for a donation (emphasis original):

Political movements can labor in the wilderness for years, even decades, before achieving a breakthrough. Though immigration patriots have consistently defeated Amnesty time and again, and VDARE.com has played an indispensable part in that effort, the hard reality is that we have been on the strategic defensive for years. But today, that has all changed.

Because of the improbable rise of Donald Trump, a billionaire who is not vulnerable to the machinations of the Donor Class, our ideas are now firmly in the mainstream. Indeed, they are practically the platform of the Republican frontrunner. And more importantly, candidates who have a mixed record on this issue, most notably Ted Cruz, are now running to play catch up.

BUT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN UNLESS YOU SUPPORT US.

I hate to be blunt, but money talks. So many people ask what they can do. And the fact is, the most important thing you can do is put your money to a cause you believe in. We can build the kind of nation and the kind of world that we want to live in. But we can only do it with your help. [VDARE.com, 12/8/15]

White Nationalists Robocalled For Trump, Said His Reaction Was “Wonderful” And Validating. The American National Super PAC, led by white nationalist activist William Daniel Johnson, made robocalls for Trump in Iowa, asking voters to support the candidate because of his immigration views. During a January 16 interview on the “pro-white” radio show The Political Cesspool, Johnson and host James Edwards praised Trump’s response to their robocalls as “wonderful” and “quite good,” adding that they “couldn’t have asked for a better approach” from Trump:

WILLIAM DANIEL JOHNSON: Donald Trump’s response when he was asked to address it was just a wonderful response. He disavowed us, but he explained why there is so much anger in America that I couldn’t have asked for a better approach from him.

JOHN EDWARDS: I was going to ask you about that. So, you know, of course I saw that. In a perfect world he would say, “You know what? These guys are right. What are you going to do about it?” But understandably there is still a political reality. I think fundamentally, as I say on this show time and time again, most middle American, middle class whites agree with us fundamentally on the issues. But he’s operating in a different world than that — I think it was certainly better than to be expected. And I thought too it was quite good, as you did Bill, so this was something that you can live with in terms of a response from the Trump campaign and of course from there it’s over. You know, the news cycle is over, if he’s asked about it again he’s already gone on record, he is the Teflon Don. He’s the Teflon candidate. This wasn’t of course made to hurt him, I don’t know how much it hurt or helped him. Ultimately I don’t think it did much of either — it might have marginally helped him. It certainly didn’t hurt him. And so his response is something that you greet with a level of respect, am I right?

JOHNSON: Oh yeah I do, I like it very much. And also the response that I got — I put my own cell phone number out there. And I got, oh, a hundred calls regarding it. Most of the calls were hang-ups. They wanted to know if it was a real phone number. So they’d either hang up or say, “Oh I’m sorry, wrong number.” But there were a majority of calls who were opposed to it but there were a minority of calls who approved of it, and liked it. So that was encouraging also. And that is a new phenomenon. Before we would have gotten no one who would be willing to come out and say that so these little things incrementally help raise awareness of the issues and help change public opinion.

Oh and let’s not forget Bill’s racist remarks; “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee”

Your glass house has major cracks in it.

For the record I’m not voting for Trump, but I doubt he needs white supremacist vote you are desperately trying to associate him with.

Poll after poll shows Trump supporters are far more likely to hold racist views, trump ACTUALLY TWEETS AND SAYS RACIST THINGS…White supremacists have endorsed him over and over and are making calls on his behalf… but somehow you think it’s unfair to point that out?

What the hell is wrong with you, Rob?
Trump may or may not be an actual white supremacist, but no sane person can deny he is working hard to get and keep their support… and more than ANY other candidate, he has it.
