Democrats must be VERY forgetful

Trump as president spread no hate at all.
True, he make his "Bigotry Bones" first as a candidate. But he did lie and say there was little/no vetting of Syrian refugees early in his administration. He on more than one occasion during his administration compared immigrants to poisonous snakes. He falsely suggested that there were "Middle Easterners" in the caravan of migrants from Central America. He reportedly suggested to his staff that migrants be shot in the legs. He referred to some countries as "shitholes." Sounds a bit hateful to me.
 

Trump has always welcomed to our country legal immigrants. I suspect you are trying to discuss his talk of take me tender hearted woman.

But Trump does not welcome law busting aliens yet welcomes legal immigrants.

 
He started with " FAKE NEWS' to able to deny every and anything he got caught doing.

" More than 40 years ago, Richard Nixon subtly changed the modern presidency ... but Nixon, whose contentious relationship with the nation’s newsrooms was longstanding, tweaked that policy, and began labeling the press as “the media,” a term he felt sounded more ominous and less favorable.

...

When Stuart Loory wrote a January 1971 article ... about the cost to taxpayers of maintaining Nixon’s Western White House ... he likely expected pushback from the White House ... What Loory didn’t expect, though, was to be banned from the White House...

...


In December 1972, Nixon told Kissinger,

Never forget, the press is the enemy, the press is the enemy…write that on the blackboard 100 times.
...

The distrust filtered throughout his administration: As vice president, Spiro Agnew was instructed to give speeches attacking the media

...

Reporters’ phones lines were repeatedly tapped.

...

The Internal Revenue Service was directed to investigate tax returns filed by Seymour Hersh and other journalists whom the White House disliked."
 
None of us voted for Trump to destroy America. We spotted his excellent way of governing and even if we are not black, we appreciate his efforts to help black people.



Trump’s “way of governing“ is horrifically bad. The man ran the country into the ground.

Lol yeah, waving the Confederate flag really shows African Americans you care

With respect to the poem/song, he said "this is about immigration." Not illegal immigration. We don't "take in" illegals as the song says as we do immigrants. His sentiments have been reflected up and down the line with respect to both legal and illegal immigration. For example, we take in under Trump the fewest refugees in the history of the decades-old program. And Central Americans were fleeing killings by groups their governments "could not or would not control," (often connected to those governments), as the language of decades-old precedent states. Trump tried to eliminate that precedent, which dates to shortly after the origin of the Refugee Act of 1980. Fess up: Trump represents the fear of immigration that surfaces every few generations in US history. He is no different than the Know-Nothings of the 19th century, with their anti-Irish caricatures. The pinnacle of his spread of hate was the show he put on, where the unfortunate victims of illegal immigrants' crimes shared their stories on stage. Substitute Jews or Gypsies for illegals in 1930s Germany, and it was an event worthy of Goebbels. Not mentioned was that both legal and illegal immigrants have lower crimes rates than US citizens.
Bottom line: you can like what Trump has done with judges, about the environment, about removing labor protections, etc. -- fine. But one cannot deny that one consistent theme of his has been anti-(any kind of) immigrant.
 
'It's better to keep one's mouth closed and be thought a fool, than to open it and have all doubt removed'. You should take note. So, do you see France and Denmark, for example, in the same light as your absurd analogy? Both are democratic socialist countries.
 
Biden will end up pardoning his own son.
And Trump will likely pardon his first, along with others.

Personally, I hope neither do, but I believe Trump has a higher probability of doing it than Biden does. If Biden does though, it would be wrong. In fact, hopefully, Congress can get an Amendment passed that prevents such an abuse of power.
 
So you say trump never denigrated the troops. He allegedly called them suckers and losers, but even if you don't believe that, he definitely called John McCain
a loser because he was captured, and continued saying crap about him even after he died. trump is human scum, and that is an insult to scum.
 
I have myself many times made the case Trump has been an excellent president. The Biden cult counters me.
So you got a giant tax cut? Aside from that the most he did was not make things worse with his stupid. Strong arguments can be made that he was at his best when he was busy doing something else besides ****ing up America.
