Wrong have you heard about the overton window
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window

Its where a person pushes radical ideas and makes them more acciatble.

FOr exaple nobody would have even dared to talked about banning muslim immigration if not for Trump.

Trump has pushed the overton window. Hes making what were “fringe extreme conservative” viewpoints now actually debated and talked about in the media, moving those “radical ideas” to the center

You know as damn as well i do nobody would have talked mass deportions of illegal immigrants for not Trump

He made that a accpable argument

This is what geert wilders in tne Netherlands has done, many of his “extreme” anti Muslim views have gone into the mainstream and many mainstream political are adopting his rhetoric.

The danish peoples party also, They have a anti muslim platform which was viewed as fringe and too extreme but now they are a large political party and have pushed trough laws that would have never even been brought up by any mainstream politician in Denmark

I have heard of the overton window.

There is no window here, Trump just handed Hillary a loaded bazooka and she just blew up the whole house- window and all..
