Oh No He Didn't...

Oh, yes he did. Of course he did. Why wouldn't he? Our glorious leader, aka, the Grand Wizard of Deplorable Nation, decided that if he can't reverse current demographic trends - remember whites become a minority in 15 years - then at least he can bleach our national immigration policy and prevent more people of color from entering the US, especially those coming from, you know, those shithole countries.

Right, so, where to start? First, irony of ironies, Trump and his Grabbing Ol' Pedophile party are using this and other white racist policies to wreck the country and turn us into the world's #1 shithole nation, or should I say the world's indispensable shithole. Second, let's take a little look at the history of some of these so-called shithole countries. Hmmm...well golly! Looks like one of the things they all have in common is that the United States played a major role in miring them into decades of poverty, violent conflict and inequality. What between our invasions, decades-long occupations, underwriting of deadly civil wars, and just garden variety exploitation by our official Ambassadors of Ill Will, U.S. multinational corporations, we really put them behind the proverbial blackball.

Third and finally, can we just dispense with this crap line that Trump's toadies and Republicans - sorry, that's redundant - love to roll out every time he manages to stick his foot in it? I mean this notion that he didn't really say what he said, or (once it's clear that he did) that he didn't really mean it to be racist. No, he just tells as it is, you know, dishing out a little hard talk so that he can keep people on their toes. As our previous president was fond of saying, "let me be clear," there's absolutely nothing truthful or hard about using the language of white supremacy.What it is is hateful, cowardly, and a horrible thing to do to a fellow human being. But, what else would you expect from Trump? He's just a shitty old man living in no shithole for old men.
