Just when you thought he couldn’t possibly get any worse, Donald Trump proves that we have all underestimated his ability to dispense noxious bigotry and hateful rhetoric aimed at the nation he aspires to rule as a dictator on day one.

Trump’s overt racism has been a hallmark of his public persona for decades. He famously placed an ad in the New York Times calling for the death penalty for five Black men who were found to be innocent. He discriminated against Black applicants at his apartment properties. He began his campaign for president in 2015 by calling immigrants rapists and murderers. He invited notorious White nationalist Nick Fuentes to dine with him at Mar-a-Lago. And more recently…
THERE WAS THIS: Trump Thanks White Nationalist as a ‘Great Journalist’ for His Sexist Attack on Kamala Harris
While Kamala Harris is being interviewed on a variety of television and social media programs, Trump continues to cower behind the sycophantic MAGA media fluffers who he knows will shield him from any challenging questions or humiliating fact checks.
Case in point, on Monday morning Trump did another phone-in chat from his Mar-a-Lago bunker, in his jammies. This time he spoke with right-wing radio hack, Hugh Hewitt. The entire interview was an affirmation of Trump’s ignorance, ego, and deliberate divisiveness. However, he peaked as the discussion turned to immigration, a subject that Trump eagerly assaults with flagrant falsehoods and putrid prejudice.
Trump led into his repugnant remarks with a preface attacking Kamala Harris in terms that have become a tediously routine part of his cult rallies and stump speeches. He raged that…
“She wants to go into government housing. She wants to go into government feeding. She wants to feed people. She wants to feed people governmentally. She wants she wants to go into a Communist Party-type system. When you look at the things that she proposes, they’re so far off. She has no clue.”
JUST NOW: @realDonaldTrump leans heavily into race science by telling @hughhewitt that you can tell whether migrants are predisposed to committing murder by "their genes."

OMG! Harris actually wants to feed disadvantaged Americans, including children, who are struggling to overcome the price gouging of the capitalist corporations that Trump favors. What a monster! In Trump’s perverse mind Harris is therefore a {gasp} “Communist.” Why doesn’t she stick to letting her fellow citizens starve, like good MAGA Republicans would do?
Trump went on to repeat a boatload of lies about migrants that he and his crackpot confederates have been telling for several weeks. These are a particular brand of lies intended to malign and dehumanize good people who are desperate to make a better life for themselves. Trump fumed…
“How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States. You know, now a murderer — I believe this — it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. You know, now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we’ve got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”
If Trump is truly concerned about genes, he may want to take a look at his own genetic history. First of all, he is descended from German stock. So is he genetically aligned with Nazis? His father was a KKK member. So does that explain his own racial bigotry? Both the Nazis and the Klan are advocates of violence to achieve their ends. So is that why Trump so often incites violence himself?
The allegation that Trump is making here about immigrants and crime has been thoroughly debunked. His disinformation was drawn from a report that he said reveals shocking statistics. However, as News Corpse reported last month…
Trump, as usual, is lying. As Politico reports, “The majority of these individuals with criminal convictions were already on the non-detained docket and living in the United States before Biden took office.” The “14,000” is actually the total for a period of some 40 years. The number increased by only 5% during Biden’s term. And the increase that occurred during Trump’s term was nearly twice as much.
What’s more, according to Politico’s research, “The numbers also include nonviolent and petty crime — 126,000 are for traffic violations, while 92,000 are for immigration-related crimes (like crossing the border illegally).”

Trump’s remarks about genetic predisposition to crime is an old trope employed by racist regimes. As is his embrace of violence. Trump not only incited a deadly insurrection on January 6th, 2021, he has frequently employed the rhetoric of violence to intimidate and fear monger. And this isn’t just remnants from the past. He did it again this past weekend…
HOLY SHIH TZU! Trump warns any Kamala Harris supporters at his rally not to identify themselves because "we don't want to see anybody get hurt."
He knows his cult is dangerous, and he laughs approvingly. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice https://t.co/VeJ31Yhy8i
