What Did President Trump Do Now?

You guys are so hell bent on smearing shit on everything Trump that you can't objectively distinguish between policy and character.

Can you point to one example in his entire campaign when he called out legal immigration from Mexico? Give me one example, and I'll stfu.

No, you guys just aren't trying to understand him.

The policy is not racist. It appeals to racists, yes, but it also appeals to people that think illegal immigration is an economic burden. Which is where the initial support comes from.

Racists support freedom of speech so they can say what ever racist crap they want. Does that mean everybody that supports freedom of speech is a racist? No.

The WALL had nothing, NOTHING to do with policy. Not once. It'll never get built. It's an impossible engineering feat. The government will never approve the funds. Mexico was never going to pay for it. Trump knew this all along.

For all extensive purposes, every time Trump brought up THE WALL he may have just as well waved a conferderate flag. It was 100% symbolizem from day one. He used it as a totem to galvanize a portion of white America who are pissed off that they are becomming less and less of a majority voice in the country.

Still attacking Trump.. I'll just keep asking the same question until you admit you don't have an example or come up with another way to show me how the policy/idea(whatever you want to call it) is racist. People have a right to be upset about and criticize illegal immigration without spreading racist ideology.

Can you point to one example in his entire campaign when he called out legal immigration from Mexico? Give me one example, and I'll stfu.

So you know for a fact that it only appealed to racist America and the people that think illegal immigration is an economic burden didn't support it?

Putting racism aside for a bit....wouldn't whatever race happens to be the majority in a given state or even the whole U.S. eventually become racist or nationalistic toward anyone but themselves? White, Black, Latino, etc. That's been true of most cultures throughout the world anyway.

Coming from the dude that just dismisses the other people as racist rather than having a constructive conversation most the time.

Either way, study harder.

Did Trump talk about economic burdens? No. He talked about drugs, rapists, criminals, and "bad hombres". He wasn't talking about economic issues during his rallies, he was talking about fear and bias. The wall was a symbol from day one, not an actual solution to anything. Again, a totem.

Seriously, I'm pretty confident you're not an idiot, but the way you have conducted yourself in this thread really makes it seem like you're just here to stir the pot. Multiple people have pointed this out, you're quickly becoming "that guy".
