Today in a series of nasty, hateful, racist tweets, Emperor Trump called Elijah Cummings' a "brutal bully" and called Cummings' Congressional district "dangerous and filthy" and "the worst in the USA," adding that "no human being would want to live there." In response, Baltimore Mayor Bernard "Jack" Young issued this statement:
"It is unacceptable for the political leader of our country to denigrate a vibrant American city like Baltimore and to viciously attack U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings, a patriot and a hero. Mr. Trump's rhetoric is hurtful and dangerous to the people he's sworn to represent. As the Mayor of Baltimore, I won't stand for anyone, not even the alleged leader of the free world, attacking our great city or our representative to Congress. Mr. Trump, you are a disappointment to the people of Baltimore, to our country and to the world."
"Disappointment"? That's putting it mildly. "Disgrace" is more accurate!

CNN yesterday pointed out how Trump uses the word "infested" as an attack on black people and brown people: Africa is "Ebola-infested," California is "crime-infested," non-white Congresswomen should "go back to their crime-infested countries," Baltimore is "rat-infested." In an editorial defending the city of Baltimore and Representative Elijah Cummings, the Baltimore Sun denounced Trump for his racism, his dishonesty, his incompetence, his lack of integrity, his mocking of war heroes, his "gleeful grabbing" of women's private parts, his praise for neo-Nazis and his being "the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin." The editorial's title sums it up nicely:

This letter from David Gooler of Pasadena in today's Los Angeles Times attempts to explain the rationale behind Donald Trump's "Make America Hate Again" and "Make America White Again" campaigns:
"The campaign of hate against people born outside the United States did not originate with our current President. His opportunistic latching onto this issue needs to be seen as what it is: a cynical way to motivate a portion of the electorate to vote their fear and hate. Trump is just smart enough to recognize an issue that will gain him support and he has jumped on this, beginning with his 'birther' attacks on President Obama. While he has a history of using low-paid immigrants at his businesses, the President has joined with that dark segment of our country where people blame all their problems on foreign-born residents. In this effort he has been joined enthusiastically with most of the GOP, who have used this to make themselves almost invisible in California. As this country always has been and is becoming more and more a country of immigrants, it is clear that while Trump and his cohorts are riding high now, they are sliding down the wrong end of history."

With very few exceptions, Republicans refuse to denounce Trump's nasty, hateful, divisive, racist rhetoric. Some, including Rick Scott and Mick Mulvaney, go so far as to justify it. An (R) after a Congressman's name used to mean "Republican." Now it means "Racist."

The President is becoming increasingly unhappy with Fox News, a.k.a. the Trump Cheerleading Channel. Some of their hosts don't worship him as much as they used to and they dare to report on polls showing Trump would lose to Biden in 2020. Trump, the most pompous, narcissistic, egotistical person who has ever lived, demands blind loyalty and unquestioning devotion. I predict he will start his own news channel. He can call it the Legislation, Information & Education Station (LIES).

Donald Trump's hateful, racist, divisive comments about Elijah Cummings and his "rodent-infested" Congressional district where "no one would want to live" are disgraceful and appalling. Bernie Sanders said today, "It's unbelievable that we have a President who attacks American cities and attacks Americans." But enough about Trump. Let's check in on his son-in-law:

Our racist, bigoted, white nationalist President has attacked Mexicans, Muslims, four non-white Democratic Congresswomen and Elijah Cummings (among many others) while praising neo-Nazis as "very fine people." Today he found another black man to attack, calling Al Sharpton a "con man" who "hates whites and cops." Sharpton had the perfect comeback: "If he really thought I was a con man, he would want me in his Cabinet."

By the Washington Post's count, Trump has told more than 10,000 lies and false statements since he's been in office. Claiming he is not a racist, despite all evidence to the contrary, is just another lie. Not surprisingly, most Republicans, for whom Trump and the Republican party come first, say he isn't racist. A majority of Democrats, women, blacks and Hispanics say he is. (Spoiler alert: He is.)

Our hateful, racist, divisive, white nationalist President attacked Elijah Cummings and his Baltimore Congressional district: "Very dangerous and filthy." "A disgusting, rodent and rat infested mess. "No human being would want to live there." As CNN's Don Lemon pointed out, 700,000 people do live there. A majority are black. They have jobs. They are parents, children, grandparents. The Johns Hopkins hospital, university and medical school are there. Among majority-black districts, Cummings' is one of the highest-income districts in the nation. Delusional, egotistical, narcissistic Emperor Trump insists he isn't a racist – he is, of course – and now, with no evidence at all, he's made another outrageous claim:

Emperor Trump, the most racist person in the world, calls himself the least racist person in the world. Welcome to Trumpworld, the Land of Delusions. And this "least racist person" is once again attacking another black man. Trump is a disgrace to the office of the Presidency.

CNN's Don Lemon, the dumbest man on television, insinuated last night while asking a debate 'question' that I was a racist, when in fact I am 'the least racist person in the world.' Perhaps someone should explain to Don that he is supposed to be neutral, unbiased & fair.

In Trumpworld, the Land of Delusions, tariffs on goods manufactured in China are paid by the Chinese. In the real world, however, that is not the case. Trump's Chinese tariffs are paid for by Americans. He's planning to slap a 10% tariff on another $300 billion of Chinese-made goods and, once again, Americans will pay for it. Trump does not care about America's poor and America's middle class. Not at all.
Trump says he will go ahead with new China tariffs
CNN, Aug 1 2019 4:28 PM ET
President Donald Trump tweeted today that on September 1 he will add a new tariff on $300 billion of Chinese-made products, which would effectively put a tax on all Chinese goods coming into the United States. The new tariffs could hit US consumers harder than the earlier rounds. It would tax goods such as iPhones and other consumer electronics, sneakers and toys. Last year, Trump imposed tariffs on about $250 billion in Chinese-made goods, targeting industrial materials and components.

Emperor Trump is a racist, bigoted, fear-mongering, immigrant-hating white nationalist whose goal is to "Make America White Again." Last year after a white nationalist shot and killed 49 people at two mosques in Christchurch, Trump said he doesn't see white nationalism as a rising threat. Of course not. Trump is a pompous, egotistical, self-worshiping narcissist. If Trump embraces white nationalism, how could it possibly be bad? And Tucker Carlson of Fox News, a.k.a. the Trump Cheerleading Channel, agrees with Trump. Democrats know better.
