Is Trump a racist?

It's next to impossible to turn on the TV and not see another story declaring with utmost certitude that President Trump is a racist. 

Only when Trump became the GOP presidential nominee did Democrats hurl racial hand grenades his way at every turn. Maybe they didn't know about the time he drove a stake in the heart of institutional racism in South Florida...

When Trump fought the racists

In 1985, 31 years before being elected president, Trump bought the 126-room, 62,500-sq-ft Mar-a-Lago estate, the magnificent Palm Beach, Florida seaside resort built by Post Cereals heiress Margaret Merriwether Post. The brash New York real estate developer was intent on turning his newly acquired property into a private club that would compete with other high-society clubs in the area, which barred blacks and Jews from membership.

When Trump, then 39, revealed that memberships at his proposed club would be offered without regard to race or religion, the Palm Beach town council imposed zoning restrictions to prevent him from turning Mar-a-Lago into a club.

Oh fornicating Hades! Race race race race race race race race race. It’s getting harder and harder to remember the Democrats along the lines of Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, etc. You know, the ones who USED to be “the party of the little people”. The ones our parents voted for.

He is enforcing immigration laws, most of which were written and passed by Democrats in Congress who didn’t expect them to be enforced. That makes him a racist.

Note that these immigration laws are being enforced against the Irish, the Russians, the Canadians and other nationalities. Still makes him a racist.

Unfortunately, inconvenient facts like that are memory-holed these days. Just like all the work Trump (and all the money he donated) back in the eighties and nineties towards things like AIDS research, and efforts to fight discrimination against on the basis of sexual orientation.
For example: all the time, effort and resources that he personally extended towards trying to help Ryan White... Likewise, it’s all been memory-holed.

What’s a “racist”?

What’s a “sexist”?

Why accept and use these lying terms to make an argument?

Don’t accept the Delusional Lying Left’s lying premise to make an argument. Reject the lying premise at the starting gate. You do that, then you’ve defeated the whole Leftist stronghold in that area.

He’s not only racist he’s the worst human being ever. He’s the devil incarnate. These people that hate him are projecting their shortcomings. That’s all.

If it seems like it’s too bad to be true, then it probably isn’t.

If Trump were a racist...

And if he was a Hitler, as they love to proclaim, his detractors would be languishing in the camps, or simply have disappeared.

These kinds of articles are worthless ... for well over 20 years, the Republican Party’s leader has been defined as a ‘racist’ by the media. That is what they do. You are a Republican? Than, by definition, you are ‘racist’.

They even tried that with Candace Owens .... think about that.

They have also been trying really hard to convince the world that Abe Lincoln was a Democrat .... that is how absurd they have become.

At the time none of the other upscale clubs would accept blacks or Jews as members. Trump took the town on and won...
