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.

The word has been meaningless for at least a decade. Poll how many think Trump is Hitler. No, not *like* Hitler, but *is* Hitler. Again, means nothing.

Given the 24/7 attacks on Trump, I’m surprised it is only half.

One more thought - President Trump should respond about how leftists, when confronted with change, will run back to their calls of racism and bigotry to make themselves feel better.

And half the country has an IQ below the median. Shall we try to find a correlation?

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

The magic is wearing off.

And 99% of demoncrats think that because the Nazis were on the ‘right’, they’re the equivalent of conservatives and republicans here in America.

One of the main reasons people become demoncrats...the big lie reinforced by the fakestream media.

He thinks criminals need to be kept out. I’ve never heard him say that people from south of the border are more likely to be criminals.

The fact is, however, that people who enter the country illegally are engaging in criminal behavior by doing so, and therefore constitute a proportionally greater threat to society than those who enter legally.

The left will say they believe anything if they think it advances their agenda.
They don’t require themselves to actually believe what they say.

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

That’s the problem with over using hyperbole. When everybody is a racist, nobody is a racist. When everybody is a Nazi, nobody’s a Nazi. I do, however, like it when liberals go hyperbolic. It reduces their “argument” to mere noise.

No. They asked if Hussein’s opposition was motivated by racism. They’ll even call you racist for mentioning his middle name, as if the Tsarnev bros weren’t white. I’m trying to imagine if Trump’s middle name were Ivan of they would refer to him by anything but that. (Of course they wouldn’t.)

One always reserves the right to be wrong. So, it appears many are.

Doing the college tour thing as of late...

They all discuss, diversity, culture, you already know they are PC. So much of the world is still watching and listening to NBC, CBS, ABC, NPR, PBS. They are so seeped in this stuff, it is like a given, like asking what floor are the restrooms on before we begin the tour, and it inculcated within the language, and oh yes mention it in you application paper, I kid you not they are looking for fello comrades, don't bs me....

While many of us consume Maria B, Lou Dobbs, Charles Panyne, and GDP numbers, downsizing of Govt ( Mulvaney example no. 1), PDJT's relentless "most effective changes around the margin" mean something to us.

That's just for starters. That is not even talking NK peace, NAFTA Gone, we are energy independent, more exports coming in that arena and if I keep going I'll go on for days.

I got into it with a business savvy neighbor with almost that hollier than thou Trump is going too fast, this CWII will be because of him, bla, bla, bla. When I quizzed him about GDP and unilateral trade might get us an extra 1% GDP I was dumbfounded, they didn't know the numbers, or the ramifications and they were in Biz.

1/4 the Country is gaslighted, the 1/4 fall into this he is too icky crowd to do the real research.

Frankly It pisses me off, possibly the greatest POTUS since Lincoln and or Washington and if he wraps up a peace deal w/ NK and gets one for Israel and GDP Goes to 6 to 8% like I think it will, he will eclipse them both, and they will still bitch.

It is time to buy them plane tickets to Cuba and Venezuela, they don't know how bleeping good they got it.

We don't need all this verbal goobally gook, they need a prospect, if not multiple when they get out of school. They will get that w/ PDJT in the next 7 yrs, and so many of them won't get he had a huge hand in it not he that shall not be named. If Hilda got in, the best they could have done was a Unionized Barista @ Barstucks...

Forty-nine percent of voters said Trump is racist, while 47 percent said he’s not,

Roughly half the voters think they are democrats being too dumb to understand the democrat party is now communist.

Roughly half the voters are Republicans and do in fact know that the democrat party is now communist and the adherent democrats are too dumb to understand the their party is now communist.



In other polls roughly 91% of scientists say water is wet.
