Donald Trump Hates America
The rest of us can love America well.
By David Brooks
July 18, 2019
So apparently Donald Trump wants to make this an election about what it means to be American. He’s got his vision of what it means to be American, and he’s challenging the rest of us to come up with a better one.
In Trump’s version, “American” is defined by three propositions. First, to be American is to be xenophobic. The basic narrative he tells is that the good people of the heartland are under assault from aliens, elitists and outsiders. Second, to be American is to be nostalgic. America’s values were better during some golden past. Third, a true American is white. White Protestants created this country; everybody else is here on their sufferance.
When you look at Trump’s American idea you realize that it contradicts the traditional American idea in every particular. In fact, Trump’s national story is much closer to the Russian national story than it is toward our own. It’s an alien ideology he’s trying to plant on our soil.
Trump’s vision is radically anti-American.
The real American idea is not xenophobic, nostalgic or racist; it is pluralistic, future-oriented and universal. America is exceptional precisely because it is the only nation on earth that defines itself by its future, not its past. America is exceptional because from the first its citizens saw themselves in a project that would have implications for all humankind. America is exceptional because it was launched with a dream to take the diverse many and make them one — e pluribus unum.

He’s been given all the facts proving he isn’t racist, yet he ignores them. It doesn’t fit his agenda. Sometimes I wonder if he isn’t a Dem operative.you dont even know the guy yet he is a racist...here we go again anyone who disagrees with you is a racist....Pssst, IM2! Brooks is a white guy.

.
So then we stop talking about the founding fathers and we do not support M.A.G.A.
He's the President. It's your decision that he's not your President.The guy who is currently clogging up the Oval Office has never been an American, and certainly has not been president of ALL Americans.Whoever assumes the office of the President of the United States has to be the leader of ALL Americans, not just one race, sex, political party, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or any other demographic group present here among Americans.. His actions in office show that he is only the leader of his political party and some religious sect and no more than that.
He does not want to be the leader of the 320+ millions of us. He would not be yelling about "Democrats" or complaining about the female members of Congress who oppose his policies if he were a true American. He would be calling meetings with them to get together to discuss policy. Perhaps invite them to the White House for lunch and in-depth discussion. He acts like he is an incredible partisan coward who cannot even meet across the lunch table with people who differ with him, thus stalling the course of government.
How about mother fucking blacks, who are racists ? You hate them too ?And that's your problem punk. You try lying about me hating all whites when I only dislike mother fucking whites who are racists. Like you.
Is "Trump Derangement Syndrome" a Real Mental Condition?There is no such thing as TDS.
