Allegations of racism have marked Trump’s presidency and become key issue as election nears (barf alert)
Washington Post ^ | Sept 23, 2020 | Greg Miller

Posted on 09/23/2020 7:41:42 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

In unguarded moments with senior aides, President Trump has maintained that Black Americans have mainly themselves to blame in their struggle for equality, hindered more by lack of initiative than societal impediments, according to current and former U.S. officials.

After phone calls with Jewish lawmakers, Trump has muttered that Jews “are only in it for themselves” and “stick together” in an ethnic allegiance that exceeds other loyalties, officials said.

Trump’s private musings about Hispanics match the vitriol he has displayed in public, and his antipathy to Africa is so ingrained that when first lady Melania Trump planned a 2018 trip to that continent he railed that he “could never understand why she would want to go there.”

Clinton’s team did a great job of framing Trump as a dangerous and unstable Hitler-in-the-making. As I noted before, that provided moral cover for her supporters to threaten and physically assault Trump supporters in public.

Gotcha. I never watched that show, but I’ve heard her name.
I think she was dating Michael Clarke Duncan when he died.

that isn’t WaPo’s Miller. this is the guy...and he is clearly anti-Trump and willing to write anything to try to destroy him:

15 May 2017: Heavy.com: Greg Miller: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
by Brendan Morrow
Greg Miller is a Washington Post reporter who just broke a major story about President Donald Trump.
On Monday evening, Greg Miller, along with his colleague Greg Jaffe, reported that President Donald Trump last week revealed highly classified information in a conversation with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador...

According to his LinkedIn page, Miller earned his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Davis, and he earned a Master’s degree from Stanford University. He is a California native...

Miller in particular reported that intelligence officials were concerned about Trump’s statements about Russia.

“More recently, U.S. intelligence officials have been disturbed by Trump’s positions on Russia — his statements encouraging Moscow to seek to steal Clinton’s emails and his refusal to accept the intelligence community’s conclusion that the Kremlin was behind a cyberespionage campaign targeting Clinton and the Democratic Party,” Miller said...

5. He Previously Wrote a Profile of Michael Flynn...
The article talks about the fact that Michael Flynn used to be a highly respected security analyst but many of his recent actions had come under scrutiny, including his comments comparing Hillary Clinton to an enemy in a war...

Recently, Miller broke a story that Michael Flynn had been warned by senior members of the Trump campaign about the risks of contacting the Russian ambassador in December. The lies surrounding this meeting ultimately lead to Flynn’s resignation...

reminder Bill Clinton has never been asked if this was his strategy, or if NYT just made it up.
he has never come forward to disavow.
whatever, Dems/FakeNews have shouted racist every day since Healy/Chozick article was published.

Wikileaks: Podesta emails: Re: Hi Angel and Tina — running stuff by you re Clinton/Trump story in tomorrow’s NYT
From:* “Healy, Patrick” <pdh@nytimes.com
*Date:* February 29, 2016
*To:* Angel Urena ... Tina Flournoy
*Subject:* *Hi Angel and Tina — running stuff by you re Clinton/Trump story in tomorrow’s NYT*
Hi Angel, hi Tina, Hope you’re both well. Amy Chozick and I are doing a story about how the Clinton campaign and its supporters view Trump as a general election opponent and plan to run against him. The story will run in tomorrow’s paper...
President Clinton, like others, thinks that Trump has his finger on the pulse of the electorate’s mood and that only a well-financed, concerted campaign portrayed him as dangerous and bigoted will win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election...
He, Mrs. Clinton, and the campaign all agree that they will need to seize on opportunities to paint Trump as extremist and recklessly impulsive...
Happy to talk this over by email or phone before 6pm today. Thanks, Patrick

29 February 2016: NYT: Inside the Clinton Team’s Plan to Defeat Donald Trump
By Amy Chozick and Patrick Healy
They were confident that his incendiary remarks about immigrants, women and Muslims would make him unacceptable to many Americans. They had faith that the growing electoral power of black, Hispanic and female voters would deliver a Clinton landslide if he were the Republican nominee.

But others, including former President Bill Clinton, dismissed those conclusions as denial. They said that Mr. Trump clearly had a keen sense of the electorate’s mood and that only a concerted campaign portraying him as dangerous and bigoted would win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election.

That strategy is beginning to take shape, with groups that support Mrs. Clinton preparing to script and test ads that would portray Mr. Trump as a misogynist and an enemy to the working class whose brash temper would put the nation and the world in grave danger

‘Against Bigotry’
The greatest weapon against Mr. Trump, the Clintons believe, is his tendency to make outrageous, even hateful comments that can come across as unpresidential...
In South Carolina and Tennessee, Mrs. Clinton began to lay the groundwork for what advisers call “a campaign against bigotry,” in which she will present herself as the fair-minded foil to Mr. Trump...

During the Republican debate on Thursday, the Clinton campaign posted an image on Instagram that said, “These are not American values: Racism, sexism, bigotry, discrimination, inequality.”
Mr. Trump emphatically denies being bigoted, saying he is simply not “politically correct.”

Just exactly what the Dems and their media did to Reagan during his first term. He, also, was "literally Hitler."

They have never changed.

That’s why the Rats respect the Bushes and McCains of the world. They didn’t fight back, and ASSumed that the MSM biased premises were facts.

No more Bob Michels and Paul Ryans, content to play their pathetic Washington Generals roles. Newt started to fight back majorly against the Enemedia in 2011-12, and Trump has taken it to a championship level.

Oh, yeah, Greg Miller...he’s the guy I trust with the truth.

Truth is, Greg is probably a racist, who thinks about race all the time. Most people don’t.

I've been reading these negative headlines on Pres. Trump for four years. Why don't the just say that they hate the President and he sucks the wazoo? It would save a lot of finger movement.

Americans have mainly themselves to blame... hindered more by lack of initiative than societal impediments

That's not exclusive to 'African Americans,' but all Americans...or anyone else.
