Trump Appears To Slam Muslim-Majority Countries: “I Got Passed A Ban On People Coming In From Certain Countries That Are Horrible Countries Where They Hate Us”

The 'least racist person in the room' guys.

Donald J. Trump is not the least racist person in the room. While he might not actually be the most racist person, he is certainly the loudest one. Whether it is his administration keeping migrant children locked in cages or calling Black Lives Matter a symbol of hate, he has proven time and time again that he is a bigot. Perhaps Trump thinks he can shirk the label because he himself isn’t doing anything clearly and blatantly racist (I.e He’s not participating in any cross burnings). But he is still announcing racist ideology over a loudspeaker at his rallies.

Trump announced his racism loud and clear once again today at one of his rallies, bragging to the crowd about his Muslim travel ban. He started by telling the audience about how his Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, proposed something similar when he was running against Trump to be the Republican nominee in 2016. Trump mocked how they said he’d have to leave the campaign after suggesting something like that, and that might have been the case back then, politicians used to step down after they screwed up. But Donald has clearly made a mockery of that idea.

Trump went on, using his own racism to excite his base:

I got passed a ban on people coming in from certain countries that are horrible countries where they hate us.”

The MAGA drones responded with applauds and cheers as Trump implied that these Muslim-majority countries were “horrible.” This isn’t America, this isn’t what we stand for. It may be what a twisted minority wants us to become, but it isn’t the ideas our nation was founded on.

Sadly, these racist rants from our Commander-in-Chief have become normalized, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t determined to unelect him in just a couple of days. We will show him and the GOP as a whole that being a racist asshole is not a viable strategy.

If you want to see the horribleness in all its glory you can watch it here:
