And as we all know, "profit" is not a dirty word. As for the politically incorrect comments, they are just that, political speech, protected by the First Amendment.

They are meant to reinforce and embrace those principles that Made America Great, as those Americans see them. They mean no disrespect to inferior races and creeds, they are simply an affirmation, of modern-day Conservative principles.
