What Did President Trump Do Now?

Isn't the idea of putting Trump in office to see how far he will limit our rights about as dumb of an experiment as sticking your dick in the light socket? You might not like the result.

On this we agree. Although he'd be more than a bit higher on my list. Cuban has been a dick at times but the man is very smart and worked his way up from scratch, as opposed to Trump who was gifted a gold plated set of silverware.

I don't think that's the scenario we are dealing with though. It's just media hysteria. What has Trump really done to limit citizens' rights so far? Intentionally I mean. Him saying whatever he wants on Twitter and his feuding with the press don't really qualify. He upheld Obama's initiative to protecting LGBTQ people in the workplace after all, which doesn't fit the profile of someone looking to dismantle the rights of anyone who isn't white or rich.

I'm not saying he isn't unfit for office by the way. I'm just saying his fundamental motivations seem to be monetary as opposed to hatred for other people. That's the distinction that needs to be analyzed if you want to predict what he will or won't do.

So his muslim ban isn't a direct correlation to his hatred for muslims? interesting.

He's done nothing yet. It's just a stupid experiment is my point. Put your dick in a light socket you might just look silly if the switch is off.

Correct. I don't think he hates Muslims or other races at all. He has a hyperbolic fear of radicals getting into the U.S. though.

You can't be serious.

It's actually a travel ban on specific Islamic countries for 90 days. A lot less black and white than you make it out to be.

Look at his hiring history of his own organization and various initiatives. Would someone who despises non-whites ever hire them or promote them? I don't think race matters as much to him as the far left would like to believe. Trump is like Soros: he thinks he's above everything and everyone including his fellow white men, so I doubt it plays much into his thought process.

Donald Trump wants you to know that he loves Muslims and he thinks their women make the best ninjas.
