Birther, Bigot, Donald Trump Wants To Make America Hate Again – Update: Trump Rejects ‘Moral Obligations’

At a rally in New Hampshire, Donald Trump demonstrated why he is better suited to running a Klan Kouncil than the U.S. He briefly addressed his audience of crackpots and then opened up the event for questions. The very first one tells us everything we need to know about both Trump and his warped disciples. (Video below)

Donald Trump

Question: We’ve got a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American, birth certificate man. But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question. When can we get rid of them?

This would be a perfect opportunity for Trump to exhibit some intelligence or dignity or … what the hell, we’re talking about Donald Trump here. That isn’t going to happen. This was his response:

Trump: We’ll be looking at a lot of different things. And, you know, a lot of people are saying that. A lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We’re gonna be looking at that, and plenty of other things.

So Trump is gonna be looking at how to get rid of Muslims like President Obama? Despite his recent reluctance to talk about it, he is apparently as committed as ever to his birtherism. It would have been easy to dismiss the question and repudiate the bigoted inferences of the questioner, but Trump’s prejudices are deep seated and he wasn’t about to cut any slack to either the President or the millions of Muslim-American citizens.

Trump’s defenders might complain that he was blindsided by the question and should not be held accountable for not responding appropriately off the cuff. But that wouldn’t explain the statement provided by his campaign hours later after having plenty of time to develop a considered response.

Campaign response: The media wants to make this issue about Obama. The bigger issue is that Obama is waging a war against Christians. Christians need support in this country. Their religious liberty is stake.

Ferchrissakes. They took their time in order to compose the most nauseating, racist, idiotic, official reply they could think of? First of all, the media isn’t making this about Obama. The questioner explicitly made reference to him. The bigger issue is that Trump is now awkwardly attempting to divert attention to his delusional and wholly unsupported claim that “Obama is waging a war against Christians,” whose “religious liberty is stake.”

Where on Earth does he get these lunatic ravings from? Obviously he thinks that by retching up the most grotesque lies imaginable he can distract people from his boorish bigotry. That may work for the putrid collection of imbeciles who support him, but anyone with an IQ higher than Trump’s favorability among Latinos aren’t so easily fooled. And the only question left is how long will Republicans continue to prop up this jerkwad?

[Update:] Trump Rejects ‘Moral Obligations’ After ducking the issue, Trump is now responding to his flagrant bigotry in a series of tweets that illustrate his complete obliviousness:

Tweet 1: Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don’t think so!
This isn’t about defending the President. It’s about defending the truth and repudiating prejudice. Trump should have excoriating the questioner, not as a favor to Obama, but because what he said was both false and hateful. And yes, that is a moral obligation if you expect to be regarded as a leader. Note: Trump got this line from Fox & Friends who spent much of the morning trying to justify Trump’s assholiness and specifically saying he had no moral obligation to respond.

Tweet 2: This is the first time in my life that I have caused controversy by NOT saying something.
This is a vain distraction that ignores the responsibility to speak out against bigotry. Martin Niemöller’s famous poem “First they came for…” is a stark reminder of what happens when you do NOT say something. You have to wonder if Trump would have said something if the questioner had said Jews instead of Muslims. Would he have been morally obligated?

Tweet 3: If someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president, do you really think he would come to my rescue? No chance!
This is projection on Trump’s part. If someone at an Obama rally said Trump was a fascist Christian and asked how to get rid of them, based on his record of tolerance, Obama would almost certainly have slapped him down.

Tweet 4: If I would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that man’s right of free speech. A no win situation!
What utter nonsense. Trump has the example set by John McCain who faced a similar situation and reacted honorably. He was universally praised for his dignified response. And therein lies the problem for Trump: He has no honor or dignity.

  2. Love to hear what would make America “great” again… they still have not answered that one. Not like unemployment is very low, the GDP is going strong, Wall Street is all time high’s (well except the little snafu’s with China a bit ago), housing is going up (mostly slight dip lately)… etc etc.

    What would make it “great” again??? Seems like most everything is moving in the correct direction, and is at really good areas (pre 2008 crash time), and still going strong.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE… tell me what else… And yes could be better then what we are at, but again.. can say that at ANY time, hell even day right before the 2008 crash could still say “we could be better”.

    • OMG – you sound like that clown Joe Kernan on CNBC – who stated sometime earlier this year – why can’t everyone just be happy, the markets keep going up. I thought that was a new low for intelligent commentary on the reality of the markets – I was wrong having just read that post. WTFU – dig deeper into numbers – the DJIA is just another bubble brought on by cheap money and QE – you’re right in the sense it is like 2008 just before the crash. Nothing is real – there is no free market, everything you see is engineered by the banks. NOT one bit of data is real on the surface – you need to dig down into the numbers. Even the decision yesterday should tell you something – ZIRP is here to stay because they are trapped. Try, just try a little to get beyond the bullshit you’re fed in the MSM. This isn’t even Barack Obama’s doing, he is just going along for the ride making sure not to rock the boat for the powers that be. If things were as good as you assume them to be – the Fed would have raised rates yesterday and even before – there is no recovery thanks to the central planners at the Federal Reserve. You’re being lied to as before and you still haven’t learned the lessons of 2008.

  3. Oh Donny Boy, the bullshit pipes are playing,
    From Glen (Beck) to Glen
    And down the mountain side.

    The summer’s gone and all the hair is blowing
    Tis you tis you must go and we will win.

  4. “We’ve got a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one.”

    Can’t help wondering… what are the odds this person has ever actually met a Muslim?
    Or a Mexican?
    Or an Indian (either kind)?
