Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2019

To the contrary, he’s repeatedly said that he’s “the least racist person that you’ve ever encountered.” Trump’s actual record, however, tells a very different story. On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly made explicitly racist and otherwise bigoted remarks, from calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists, to proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the US, to suggesting a judge should recuse himself from a case solely because of the judge’s Mexican heritage. The trend has continued into his presidency. From stereotyping a Black reporter to pandering to white supremacists after they held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, to making a joke about the Trail of Tears, Trump hasn’t stopped with racist acts after his 2016 election.

This is nothing new for Trump. This long history is important. Trump has a long history of racist controversies But when you put all these events together, a clear pattern emerges.

BREAKING NEWS: Leading Republican Candidate for Governor of Virginia Met with Insurrectionists and Discussed Armed Rebellion the Day Before the January 6 Insurrection - Proof

The bad news for Chase is that just 48 hours ago she lost a lawsuit seeking to compel the Republican Party of Virginia to hold a conventional primary rather than—as the party is now considering, and has until Tuesday to decide upon—a state “convention” at which the party’s 2021 gubernatorial candidate would be selected by a committee of just 72 party members. Chase, who has been called “controversial” by local media, even “the Donald Trump of Virginia politics” by one source, fears that her state party’s leaders, as opposed to Virginia’s Trumpist voter base, won’t select her to be their standard bearer for the November 2, 2021 gubernatorial election. It appears that there’s very good reason for Virginia’s Republican leaders not to do so.

Now 67, Shvets is a key source for American Kompromat, a new book by journalist Craig Unger, whose previous works include House of Trump, House of Putin.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect May Help Explain Trump's Support

The effect is a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge. This simple but loopy concept has been demonstrated dozens of times in well-controlled psychology studies and in a variety of contexts. However, until now, the effect had not been studied in one of the most obvious and important realms: political knowledge. article continues after advertisement. Narcissistic personality disorder. Overview Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.

Trump’s Hollow Economy

His campaign for reelection will without doubt be focused on his boast that he alone can “rebuild” the economy. His claims cannot go unanswered. His assertion that the economy has never been stronger is not true. The point that needs to be made now is that the Trump economy has had deep weaknesses, that policies as usual under Trump will fail as we face full-fledged depression, and that he seriously misunderstands the link between opening up businesses and economic expansion, as apparently have his economic advisers. Democrats now have the opportunity to declare that they are the ones who know how to build the economy. Donald Trump Refuses to Condemn KKK, Disavow Endorsement.

Theodore Roosevelt Citation Information:Roosevelt, Theodore, “The Duties of American Citizenship,” New York: Buffalo, Jan. 26, 1883. Of course, in one sense, the first essential for a man’s being a good citizen is his possession of the home virtues of which we think when we call a man by the emphatic adjective of manly.

No man can be a good citizen who is not a good husband and a good father, who is not honest in his dealings with other men and women, faithful to his friends and fearless in the presence of his foes, who has not got a sound heart, a sound mind, and a sound body; exactly as no amount of attention to civil duties will save a nation if the domestic life is undermined, or there is lack of the rude military virtues which alone can assure a country’s position in the world. In a free republic the ideal citizen must be one willing and able to take arms for the defense of the flag, exactly as the ideal citizen must be the father of many healthy children.

Michael Cohen, who also worked as a fixer for Trump before his election, said he was tasked with tamping down criticism of the military deferment as the presidential candidate simultaneously mocked Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, for being regarded as a military hero. “I like people who weren’t captured," Trump said during a July 2015 interview. “Mr. Trump claimed (his medical deferment) was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery,” Cohen told members of the House Oversight Committee.

Moreover, ZTE makes technology that can be used for surveillance and has ties to the Chinese military. Just one month later, however, President Donald Trump unexpectedly tweeted that he might be open to a deal that would free ZTE from the Commerce Department penalty, known as a denial order.

“Too many jobs in China lost,” he wrote. ZTE’s path back into business with American suppliers has long been shrouded in mystery.
