The nation learned in June of 2015 that Donald Trump was a racist. This didn’t harm him in the primaries, it actually increased his number of supporters. Other racists came out of the shadows; they found a leader an a voice. His promise to deport nearly 12 million undocumented workers, and to build a ridiculously costly wall, resulted in raucous cheers from his ‘bag of deplorables.’ Then when he made the totally fallacious claim that Mexico would pay for the wall, his ill-informed devotees cheered louder.
Trump announced today that he will begin deporting two to three million Hispanics immediately after he lies as he takes the oath of office.
“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump told 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, according to a preview of the interview released by CBS. “But we’re getting them out of our country. They’re here illegally.”
Trump’s “witch hunt” begins.
We know the second thing he will do is to abolish Obamacare, but he lies when he says that he will replace it.
From recent tweets, Trump’s third folly will be to make an attempt to revoke the first amendment; he hates free speech, and the very media which was responsible for his election. He’s simply not smart enough to know the truth.
There is nothing more dangerous to the future of the world than ignorance combined with a lack of compassion. This is Trump; the most arrogant and ignorant man ever to be elected to the presidency.
The protests will grow. Law enforcement across the nation will be forced to use most of their man hours performing crowd control. Everywhere Trump goes, the crowds who refuse to accept him as our nation’s leader will follow. When he travels to other nations, loud and angry men and women will rightfully denounce his legitimacy.
Trump has the weakest temperament of any man I have ever seen; he simply cannot handle his critics. He will now face tens of millions of detractors weekly, and as he begins to destroy our nation, the numbers will grow. The dozens of newspapers who criticized his worthiness to be the president, and supported Hillary, will have front page articles criticizing his actions as president on a daily basis.
For Trump, every day will be a “long and bump ride.”
