Trump Dehumanizes People Of Color

nyti.ms/2MklUhP

President Trump added his former White House aide, Omarosa Manigault Newman, on Tuesday to the growing list of African-Americans he has publicly denigrated on Twitter, calling her “that dog” and a “crazed, crying lowlife” after her allegations against him of mental deterioration and racism.

In recent weeks, Mr. Trump has called Don Lemon, a CNN anchor, “the dumbest man on television.” He has questioned the intelligence of LeBron James, a star basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers. And he has repeatedly said that Representative Maxine Waters, Democrat of California, has a “low I.Q.”

Mr. Trump has also deployed the “dog” insult for white people, including Arianna Huffington, a founder of HuffPost. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Mr. Trump tweeted that a onetime political rival and fellow Republican, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, “lies like a dog.”

Is this president a role model for our future generation? After Bill Clinton claimed the oral sex was not sex, underaged girls across the country started giving head jobs since it was not considered sex— Clinton-Lewinsky Effect.

Trump views Kim Jong-un, a ruthless dictator, and Putin, the ruler of a country that meddled with our election, as ‘very fine’ people. The outcome of Putin’s meddling was Trump winning the presidential election. How Trump became president is part of the ongoing investigation by Mueller. It’s crucial Mueller be allowed to do a thorough investigation, despite Trump and the GOP attacks to stop him.

Trump used specific dehumanizing terms to describe black people critical of his incompetence and unethical behavior. Trump has not missed an opportunity to dehumanize black people. At taxpayers’ expense, Vice President Pence staged a walkout at one NFL football game. Later, Trump called NFL players who #TakeAKnee sons of bitches.

Is Trump a person, Americans, want to be commander in chief for another two years let alone another six years? Did Americans elect Trump or did Russia? Why do we hear crickets from the GOP for Trump’s dehumanizing remarks? Why aren’t the GOP concerned that our adversary, Russia, played a massive roll in Trumps’ victory?

Keep your eye focused on the investigation, don’t let Trump and the Russians destroy this country.

  1. He’s certainly a canvas of contradictions. Sorry, I think I just insulted canvases by typing that. Anyways, it’s obvious which side of the bread was buttered with him. NFL players have been called worse than school shooters since the beginning of 45’s administration. Maxine Waters almost got attacked by his supporters before some anti-racist groups had her back, yet it’s radio freaking silence from him. He bashes people accused of sexual misconduct. Three words: Access Hollywood Bus. I rest my case. Seriously, I wish more people could see right through the hypocrisy.

  2. I love it when Black people get their n-word wake up call. Sometimes I wonder if some Black people love to be abused by the devils. That”wig” in office is not human anyway.
