Look, we are fellow Freepers here, and, I assume we have much in common. We just look at this situation differently, I guess. I just refuse to buy into the ‘narritive’. Trump is getting screwed over, and I don’t think he should just roll over to avoid controversy. In fact, attacking this ‘head-on’ is refreshing. La Raza has operating under the radar. They are not part of any America that I know. If it helps to expose them, then, again, Trump is spot on. I trust his instincts.
Yes, he is getting screwed over, but it's an unforced error on his part.
I didn't say he should "roll over". And, I didn't say he should "avoid controversy". What I said is that Trump should have chosen his words more carefully.
In fact, attacking this head-on is refreshing. La Raza has operating under the radar. They are not part of any America that I know. If it helps to expose them, then, again, Trump is spot on.
He didn't attack La Raza at all. He attacked the judge, citing his "Mexican heritage". His mention of the lawyer's association has been lost in the noise.
But yes, I think exposing them and the corrosive effect on our judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government is a good idea. An organization to promote whites would be roundly criticized -- because it would do so at the expense of others. The 800 lb gorilla in the room: any organization to promote (insert qualification here) must do the same.
I have no problem with people that want to do so in private business. But, such an association has absolutely no place in government at any level, and membership in such an organization should be an instant disqualifier from government office or employment.
But, Trump isn't doing this -- at least not effectively. Instead, he's tossing accusations that have boomeranged on him.
