Trump trashes judge overseeing Trump University fraud case, says it's fine that he's

Re: Trump trashes judge overseeing Trump University fraud case, says it's fine that h

Even in that case, he'd still be Donald Trump. His father was US born (as was his mother) and had the Trump surname.

And again, you can't have it both ways - if "hispanic" or "mexican" is a race, then both Trump and the Judge are racists (La Raza). If not, then you have no basis for calling Trump a racist.

For the first time in my many months of calling Trump all sorts of names, I'm finally calling him a racist, because he is. He is clearly implying that this judge can't do his job because of his Hispanic heritage. Fact.

Trump went too far here. If Clinton ever did this, Trump lovers would be howling like scorched cats.

And by the way, this judge is still an American, no different than you and me and the Great Man himself. American. And no amount of ignorant comments from Trump is going to change that.
 
Re: Trump trashes judge overseeing Trump University fraud case, says it's fine that h

The judge is an American... of Mexican decent... but he's still an American. That's how the man was born.

Donald Trump's name is Donald Trump. His family name may have been something else at one time, but his name is still Donald Trump. That's how the man was born.

This is EXCATLY the type of dumb-ass crap that sidetracks us away from serious issues that actually mean something.

If you claim to dislike Trump, yet stoop to his level of debate, then you're actually worse than he is.

Um, well...names can be changed. The physical location of your birth can't. Not really a massive comparison between the two.
 
Re: Trump trashes judge overseeing Trump University fraud case, says it's fine that h

1. Your irrational bias is on display.
There is no one named Drumpf that we are discussing. Clearly that irrationality plays into the rest of your opinions.
2. No said he wasn't a US citizen like Trump is. Nothing but an irrelevant irrational deflection.

No, yours is.

Donald Trump, formerly Drumph, was incredibly critical of others in the race who changed their name.

In his own words of justification "he started it"

This is why bullies fail. sooner or later his own bull**** tactics get turned on him.

Typical of small me, he can dish it out but can't take it.

You're too late.

With Trump in the race 'serious issues' will have to take a back seat to Trump's peeve of the day

The point is that reaching back to aspects that the person them self had no choice over is silly and counterproductive. The judge's ethnicity (and birth nationality) is what it is. Trump's name is what it is. Trump could have changed his name, but he didn't. (And even if he did, so what? :shrug:?)

This is just silly crap that "the system" loves for us to get all riled about. Meanwhile, we're getting crap for leaders because we're suckers for style over substance.

This a perfectly good reason why Trump is unfit for public office. Anyone who has ever watched a legal thriller knows that if Trump had a case, his lawyers would challenge the judge. He isn't doing that because he doesn't have a case, he would rather try top destroy this judges reputation.

Trump and many of his surrogates talk as though there is this caste system we have in regards to being American. At the top there are White Americans of Western European decent and the rest like Hispanics, Asians, Muslims of all stripes and so on are less that pure Americans. Unfortunately I think there is a contingent of Americans that are very tribal in their thinking and see things the same way.

Of course most people know that isn't the case at all. We are not like many countries. For example, an American could move to China at a young age, learn the language, become a legal citizen, and live and work there their entire lives and still never be Chinese. Despite how integrated they were in the local society, despite how many friends they had there, even if they married into a Chinese family, they would still be seen as a foreigner. In contrast, our daughters that we adopted from China became every bit as much of an American as we are the second our plane touched down on American soil.

no, no.

The rules have changed. Trump saw to that when he ridiculed others for having parents change their name.

Once again, Trump has a legal solution...but chooses to go public. Don't blame the people who respond.

Donald Trump's wife was born in Yugoslavia and her father was a member of the Communist Party. I don't know about anyone else, but now I'm scared to death of the thought of a Slovene Communist sleeping next to the guy with his fingers clutching the nuclear codes. She's obviously beholden to her father's communism and her country of birth. She may lob a nuke at Russia without even blinking.

I didn't know you adopted girls from China. Good on you, SD. My cousin adopted 2, and they are the greatest kids I know.

Not the point, we were talking about the hypocritical poster who uses the silly surname attack method. But in this case, Trump is absolutely correct. Any judge who belongs to a hispanic org with The Race in the title, an org that has honored illegal aliens is indeed bias and cannot do his job in this case. His actions in releasing the documents before the trial, so that the defendent might be tried in the court of public opinion, prove he can't do his job in this case.

The judge is indeed an American, but he is also glued to his heritage - which is not.

Trump is a communist sympathizer!
 
Re: Trump trashes judge overseeing Trump University fraud case, says it's fine that h

Obviously. His wife is still a Communist. She has to be, right? And do we really want a Communist sleeping with the President? Trump has to be a Communist sympathizer. I mean, how else do you explain him marrying a Communist?
 
Re: Trump trashes judge overseeing Trump University fraud case, says it's fine that h

Hilarious.
You are the only one with a problem here. Multiple ones at that.
Not understand that he was speaking to his heritage.
Not understanding that he is not called Drumpf.
And not understanding that the issue is bias towards the individual apparently has everything to do with his heritage.

Why would Drumpf ever have a problem with heritage in the fraud case? After all, Drumpf says he loves Mexicans.

And your evidence of actual bias is?

I forgot when it became all right to judge people on their associations, but really, unless you can point to specific rulings your no more than whining Trump's whine for him.

Belonging to something is not in itself bias, there must be evidence of bias. Trump knows this, but because he's going to lose the fraud case, he's trying it in public, like a coward.

If this IS the stance of Trump, then America is in trouble as belonging to certain organizations he disapproves of is going to get uncomfortable.

You're misinformed or a liar on the La Raza issue. The judge was part of an attorney's association with that in the name. It is not associated with the national group, even though you would like it to be.

There is more evidence here of him being a communist sympathizer than there is for the judge on being biased.

Based on his and his followers logic, Mrs. Trump should be deported forthwith.

It's Drumpf himself side-tracking the issue. Or did you miss that?

I found an article by James Fallows in the Atlantic magazine, that describes the dangerous meaning behind trumps accusing of the judge in question

You can dance around the question of whether Donald Trump’s “he’s a Mexican” criticism of federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, born in Indiana, is technically “racist.” There is no such race as Mexican, after all, and the citizenry of Mexico ranges from blue-eyed blonds to those with dark skin and jet-black hair.

But what’s clear about Trump’s argument, and what is deeply un-American about it, is its essentialism. Trump is saying that because of who you are, in an ethnic or hereditary sense, he will make judgments about what you think and what role in society you can play. The related assumption, as Garrett Epps explains to irrebuttable effect, is that people’s public roles cannot be separated from their ethnic or religious identities. A “Mexican” judge will think and act as a Mexican, not as a judge.

There is no more un-American concept

Ah, no.

We are talking about Trump and how he's trying to get out from under a court case by falsely accusing the judge of bias. No one else is talking about using silly nicknames but you.

If you don't like, contact Mr. Trump and ask him to take back all the harsh things he's said about other's who have changed their name.

Yup.

Of course I was being facetious, but it was to make a point. A point that I'm sure is zooming right over the heads of the Trump lovers. If the great man says NOBODY can disavow their parents' ancestry and presumably anything else related to their parents, then that hypocritical asshole is married to a Communist and he wants to install a Communist in the White House with him.

I suspect one has to be a non-Trump lover to get this.

And tell him to prove to us that his wife isn't a Communist spy looking to worm her way into the people's house.

This is not an immigration case, pally boy. It's a fraud case. Why would a Mexican heritage be biased in a fraud case?
