That's all you got?

Thanks for asking.

Imagine a U.S. president who is bombastic, egotistical, and just a little racist.

Racist? Really? Plays the race card. In the case of Trump, unsupported. It's just 'there.'

He implements capricious executive orders, and seems more concerned with his own power than with the Constitution.

Lists this as a similarity, but Trump has never been the President. That's projection.

But that’s not quite true. FDR may not have been Hitler or Mussolini. But the difference was one of degree, not of kind. And now Trump is following in his footsteps. Suspicious of Americans, Immigrants, and Refugees

Gives no example of how Trump is suspicious of Americans...I guess he thought he could slide that one through.

This isn’t to suggest that all opposition to immigration is fascist. Many reasonable Americans favor immigration restrictions. But FDR’s immigration ideas, summed up in his claim that immigrants ought to have “blood of the right sort,” were clearly prejudicial. So is Trump’s rhetoric about Mexicans.

Repeat after me...E-legal. E-legal. E-legal. Being against illegal immigration is not only fascist but racist? If you agree, DU is the place for you.

Suspicious of refugees...Trump says we should put a pause on Muslim refugees until we can figure out what's going on. Believes all refugees must be background checked. That's mainstream belief on FR. ISIS brags they are infiltrating among the refugees.

Steaming pile of excrement, indeed. I know it's easy to defend a Trump attack article, but isn't it exceedilgly irrational in this case?

With all honesty, not being sarcastic. Think you need to read or re-read the article.

Trump was never called racist

Never stated Trump was president.

A lot of the things you mention seem to assume it was all about Trump.

Can you rephrase the reply with just the items mentioned without assumptions?

Thanks.

You make some good points on rhetorical excesses in the piece. But, the larger point being made is the danger of putting Trump into power. All we hear is deal making and negotiating. But, he has made his campaign so personal to his own brilliance and guaranteed success in achieving all his promises, that it is legit to question what he will have to actually DO. One great red flag to all should be his blather about the libel laws. What do you suppose he actually intends to do in that area? Is he going to propose legislation, or personally destroy criticizers, or issue an EO of some sort?

Shouldn't even mentioning curtailing a free press raise at least a bit question on where he is coming from and where he wants to go?
