Almost Half The Country Thinks Donald Trump Is A Racist
Huffingtonpost. ^ | July 4, 2018

Posted on 07/04/2018 2:36:50 PM PDT by SMGFan

Nearly half of voters think President Donald Trump is a racist, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.

Forty-nine percent of voters said Trump is racist, while 47 percent said he’s not, according to the poll. These numbers are similar to those from a February Quinnipiac poll, where 49 percent of voters said Trump was racist and 46 percent said he was not.

Forty-four percent of voters said they think “racist beliefs” were a motive in Trump’s immigration policy, while 50 percent said Trump has “a sincere interest in controlling our borders.” Sixty percent said the policy of separating children from their parents at the border was a violation of human rights.

Since enacting the policy, Trump and his associates have repeatedly pushed false, racist narratives to garner support, often associating immigration with high crime rates despite no evidence to support claims that immigrants commit more crime than U.S. citizens.

Frankly, I’d rather be considered a card carrying Deplorable than even attempt to get along with SJWs.

Let the Cultural Marxist scum be offended.

The word racist is the lefts main political tool to get what they want. rarely does it have any real meaning, and it is usually false and applied with double standards (Racism against whites is ignored)

Fascinating questions these pollsters are choosing. Meanwhile, Obama’s were “do you think he’s too cool?”

That’s what you want them to think, you communists. You twisted Charlottesville into “Trump is KKK.” You rot, go to hell and burn.

Oh, is this from the poll, or from the fetid, unstable self-loathing minds of the enraged upper class white Leftists of Huff Post?

It certainly isn't true. Or news.

I love when they get caught making up fake news. They say they don't, but then you direct them to statements like this...

Democrats are openly racist. Consider, if you will, the open and notorious existence of racists bodies such as, La Raza, the Congressional Black Caucus and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

And black lives matter and Al Sharpton, and Jessie jackson.

Well, it’s the Huffington Post.

But, it shows how strong the hold of the Dems, through the thoroughly complicit and corrupted mass media is on the weak-minded.

The only ones who believe Trump is racist are the ones who listen to the constant leftist mantra saying he’s racist.

amazing even if 10 percent think DJT is a racist, since he hasn’t done a single racist thing in office

there is an important lesson in this

repeat lies often enough (”news” media, movies, television, radio, singers, comedians, college professors, pollsters, and politicians...) over and over and over and over again

and many regular decent human beings start to believe the lies

Jos. Goebbels knew what he was up to, and we are living thru the Nazification of America

Notice how they NEVER tell us anymore HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE POLLED???

IF they ask 20 hand picked people, they can get these kinds of reults.

#20: "Did they ever ask the same question while Hussein was resident?"

Any honest and rational person would say the Hussein Obama is a racist. He can't even put one sentence together without dragging race into it.

An honest person would say that President Trump is not racist, that he is colorblind and does let race taint his policies.

Half the country is below average intelligence.

A Venn diagram of the population of those people and the people that this survey touts would be concentric circles, not overlapping ones.

First, no way. More than half this country loves him.

Second, the low IQ crowd are the racists. I don’
t see white media, actors, celebrities, politicans, and average Joes calling for the extermination of blacks as we are seeing them call for the extermination of whites.

Is it possible to see the EXACT WORDING used by the poll on these questions and possible answers? I’d bet serious money that they are worded in such a fashion that the questions are leading and any answer can be “interpreted” however the pollster wants.

More than half the country doesn’t believe in global warming or banning plastic straws.

Does the huffigtonpost think those should be voices worth listening to then?

Just because people are propagandized to believe in something doesn’t make it true.

Isn’t it interesting that considering Trump has employed thousands of people, none of his employees has brought up the subject?
