The president of the United States has completely lost control of his inner racist rage … his words about "Somalis as garbage" are so fundamentally disgraceful that all citizens must wonder about his mental state. If a CEO of a multinational company said such things he or she would be fired in ignominy within a day … but Trump’s enablers simply bang the table in support and affirmation (Vance) or sit silently smiling and laughing. Hitler raged in this way about Germany’s Jews …
The New York Times provides video and many quotes —
He said Somalia “stinks and we don’t want them in our country.” He described Representative Ilhan Omar, Democrat of Minnesota, who came to the United States from Somalia as a refugee and became a citizen 25 years ago, as “garbage.”
This is the president of the United States, seated before the cameras and venting his racist contempt and hatred without restraint.
Thanks, Dan. I fear that we will see more and more of this from Trump: he is increasingly desperate and demented, like a rabid rat in a corner. It appears, though, that the sycophancy won’t end.
