Your belief that Trump knew the personal histories of all 20 people is absurd. At worst, his question was in-artful. If this is the only basis for claiming he's a racist, you aren't making your point. All you're doing is proving that you're a sleazy douchebag.Sorry, but ignorance demonstrates absolutely nothing. You have no basis for claiming indifference. Fucking Christ, he invited her to the Whitehouse. That seems like the opposite of indifference to me.What, did he shift his eyebrows the wrong way? What do you imagine that video demonstrates?What "disrespect?" You really are a total douchebag. Ya know it?Watch how Trump reacts to Nadia Murad's harrowing survival of ISIS captivity - CNN VideoWhat "disrespect?" You really are a total douchebag. Ya know it?It demonstrates how racism is a bedrock character issue with Trump, one that supersedes and informs many others just as his sexism and xenophobia does.What, did he shift his eyebrows the wrong way? What do you imagine that video demonstrates?
Opinion | The Rot You Smell Is a Racist Potus
His ignorance of Nadia's ordeal and his indifference to the deaths of her seven family members ("where are they now") reveals again the wisdom in Martin Luther King, Jr's words: "In the final analysis, racism is evil because its ultimate logic is genocide."
That an arrogant, ignorant racist like Trump was unaware of the Yazidi exterminations prove only that "the mouth that demeans may not always be attached to the hand that destroys, but they are assuredly connected in spirit and in spite."
You're a fucking moron. You keep pursuing this meme even though there isn't a single fact to support it.He asked her where her dead family member were now.Sorry, but ignorance demonstrates absolutely nothing. You have no basis for claiming indifference. Fucking Christ, he invited her to the Whitehouse. That seems like the opposite of indifference to me.
Is that an example of presidential who's dialed in to what's happening?
Donald Trump's Ignorance Won't Silence Nadia Murad
"Nadia Murad—one of thousands of Yazidi women and children who face kidnapping, human trafficking, rape and torture as forms of religious prosecution—has been making her voice heard since 2014, when she miraculously escaped after being held captive by ISIS for three months. Murad’s outspoken bravery has reached international attention and won her the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018.
"Last week, on International Justice Day, along with over 20 victims of religious persecution, Murad visited the White House.
"As the famed activist asked the President to intervene in some way to help her community—facing violence and disappearances since 2003—he appeared both unfamiliar with her story and uninterested in learning more..."
"Trump claimed to know the area she is speaking about 'very well' and shifted to the subject of her receiving the Nobel Prize. After congratulating her, he asked, 'They gave it to you for what reason, if you can explain?'"
Can you explain why any POTUS would be ignorant/indifferent enough to ask Murad why she won the Nobel Prize?
