Donald Trump’s Next-Generation Bigotry

[guno]

Can the rubes be this stupid not to see he is trying to lose


Not content with attacking immigrants, Trump is now smearing their American-born children. And the children of those children.

Trump is now targeting natural-born citizens of the United States, treating them as aliens based on religion or ethnicity. He’s not building walls around America. He’s building walls within it.

What Trump’s Next-Generation Bigotry Tells Us About How He Sees the United States

From an interesting sublink:

>> WASHINGTON — "Go up to Connecticut," Donald Trump told a House subcommittee and its overflow audience Tuesday, "and you look" at the Mashantucket Pequots.

"They don't look like Indians to me."

The Pequots operate the Foxwoods Casino and High Stakes Bingo in Ledyard. Trump's assertion in the Halls of Congress Tuesday -- which he broadened to include all Indians who run casinos -- was just one more grenade in an hourlong assault on Connecticut, Indians and their casinos that one committee chairman said was the most irresponsible testimony he had heard in nearly two decades in Congress.

... The day seemed perfect for his anger. When he walked into the hearing room, he could not find a seat. For 2 1/2 hours, the lord of New York City's Trump Tower had to stand, his head usually cocked upward so his square jaw pointed sharply at the witness table.

When it was finally Trump's turn, he discarded the seven-page statement he was going to read.

"I had a long and boring speech," he told the panel, "It was politically correct and something that would have gotten me into no trouble whatsoever."

With that, he offered off-the-cuff remarks about some of the things bugging him lately, such as:

The mob. Forget the Justice Department's shrug. "Organized crime is rampant. People know it. People talk about it," Trump insisted. "I wonder what (former FBI director) J. Edgar Hoover would have said about this."

Look, he said, "nobody likes Indians as much as Donald Trump," but the Indians are being had by mobsters.

"There is no way Indians are going to protect themselves from the mob," he insisted. "This is gonna blow."

Profits. "You have a group of Indians in Connecticut," he said. "I've heard $300 [million] to $400 million [in profit]. They don't pay taxes. Why not distribute the money to other Indians?" he said.

Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, challenged this, saying the profits often go to "expenditures on behalf of the Indians."

"I really don't believe you understand," Trump said. There's big money here, and organized crime wants it.

"I believe this tribe has 300, 400 members (It has 280). Do you think it's appropriate for 300 [members], who lucked out with a location between New York and Boston, shouldn't give some of the money out to others?"

Hey, said Abercrombie, at least they're not acting like financiers of the 1980s -- like Trump -- who profited with leveraged buyouts whose profits "were only given to 200 people in New York City."

.... After the hearing, he was asked to explain what an Indian looked like. "You know," he said. "You know." <<

Unreal.

If there is an expert on bigotry on USMB, it's Guano. Maybe we should listen to what transgender-it says. Then again, NOT.
