Fred Trump would be proud of his son when, as president of the United States, little Donald staged a public ambush of another president. The press was invited to witness our president falsely accuse President Cyril Ramaphosa of overseeing the murder of white South Africans. Another “Z” moment in the “Golden Oval Office”.
Fred trained his son well in the “Art of Racism”, the “Art of Lying” and the “Art of Denial in the Face of Truth”. Fred was the Real Deal when it comes to greed, racism and disrespect for the rule of law. Donald was in training to be a racist piece of shit in 1973 when he and his poppa were charged with housing bias.
“…an investigation by The New York Times — drawing on decades-old files from the New York City Commission on Human Rights, internal Justice Department records, court documents and interviews with tenants, civil rights activists and prosecutors — uncovered a long history of racial bias at his family’s properties, in New York and beyond.”
We all know about the WAR on DEI. A transparent attempt to roll back the progress made in American Civil Rights. We could write several letters about the madness and cruelty of this throwback to Plantation and Jim Crow politics. But let’s just point out some recent examples of $trumpian racism.
Joint Chiefs Chair C.Q. Brown Jr.: Trump fired C.Q. Brown Jr., the second Black individual to serve as chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Brown is one of the most qualified people to have ever held the position. Read about his credentials here and and compare them with the performance of the WHITE Fox News host (drunken abuser) who replaced him.
“President Donald Trump fired Carla Hayden as the Librarian of Congress. The firing was communicated to Hayden via email from the White House's Presidential Personnel Office. NPR reports that the firing is the latest in a series of actions by the president to reshape cultural institutions. Hayden was the first woman and first African American to serve as Librarian of Congress, having been confirmed by the Senate in 2016. The firing has been widely criticized, with many viewing it as a political move and an affront to her service and the independence of the Library of Congress.”
“President Trump fired Gwynne Wilcox, a member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and Jennifer Abruzzo, the General Counsel, sparking a legal and political firestorm. Wilcox's removal was particularly controversial, as it was seen as violating the National Labor Relations Act. This action left the NLRB without a quorum, hindering its ability to make decisions and enforce worker protections. A court later ruled that the firing of Gwynne Wilcox was unlawful.”
President Cyril Ramaphosa kept his cool as OUR president made a fool of himself again with lies, lies and more lies.
And to add a further layer of bullshit racism, Trump is fast tracking refugee status for white Afrikaners. Update yourself on the reality in South Africa here. This is happening despite the fact that there is NO evidence of more crime against white Afrikaners than the national average. And whites still own 70% of agricultural land in the country while being less than 10% of the population. Who is being persecuted? Who is favored?
”Though AfriForum formally rejected Trump’s offer of refugee status to Afrikaners, a reported 8,200 Afrikaners have independently expressed interest in the offer.
At the same time, Trump has been attempting to freeze all other refugee admissions into the country, including for those fleeing violence and persecution in the Congo, Afghanistan, and Sudan.”
The pattern here is clear. Very clear. Invite the White. Fire and reject those of Color. Good job Fred. You trained him well.
Another Oval Office Ambush
Fast track refugee status for whites
He is a racist who has surrounded himself with other racists. That accounts for much of his appeal to the MAGA cult, even if they themselves don’t consciously recognize it. It’s sickening.
One must to include the « extended family « of US citizens that keep racism vibrant…
The reality of current events has been nurtured by intent or neglect for decades. The country always rejects altruism in favor of racism and greed. Examination of other world societies shows that other choices can be made, but our Overlords keep us under control.
It’s cathartic to contemplate alternatives, Bill, but as your previous post mentioned, gardening is more useful… ha. Evolving climate change will keep excitement flowing.
Albert Brooks book « 2030 » tells a nice alternative future.
Thanks for you essays.
