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.

“Second, the definition of racist has become so fluid”

It never had a fixed meaning.

Only 47% Y'know, assuming they didn't just make up the numbers as usual. Pretty impressive, since our President is being smeared 24/7 by most of the media, and this has gone on since before he was nominated. Thanks SMGFan.

Until the 2016 Campain, AFAIK, the QP poll was at least reasonably legit and unbiased. But AFTER the election, with victory of our wonderful pro-American President, QP has “gone ‘round the bend”, as the Brits used to say. Meaning, they’ve gone bonkers.

That’s the half with below average intelligence and above average gullibility.

Public figure for decades. Runs as republican and all of a sudden he becomes a racist?

The real collusion was the media and the democrats.

No one ever called Donald Trump a racist until he ran for President against an old white woman.

Cultural Marxism is soon to be thrown into the ashcan of history. More and more are finding out the nature of this parasite and want to initiate a political pyrethrin to treat it.

“Now they need to ask how many of us don’t give a damn about being called racist.”

I’m guessing pretty much the whole other half.

Just under 50% of Americans don’t believe that Trump is a racist.

90% Republicans support Trump.

Sounds like a winning combination!

“So what 90% Republicans support Trump?”

Honestly, I think for the most part, they just hang up on pollsters.
