The aftermath of Donald Trump dining with a flagrant anti-Semite (Ye, aka Kanye West) and a notorious white supremacist (Nick Fuentes) continues to roil the political firmament. While a few of Trump’s Republican allies have criticized him, Trump himself has yet to condemn the hate mongering of his Mar-a-Lago dinner companions.<\/p>\n

On Thursday afternoon Trump took to his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, to attempt to justify his inexcusable fraternization with the blatantly bigoted cretins that he was so comfortable with that he didn’t feel it necessary for his security team to vet them. Never mind that Fuentes is a leader of the American neo-Nazi movement and Ye’s loathsome prejudices were well established.<\/p>\n

With that as the backdrop, Trump lashed out a reporter for the Associated Press, Jill Colvin, who wrote an article<\/a><\/strong> documenting how “Trump\u2019s dinner disaster sparks new rules for his campaign.”<\/em> Trump raged<\/a> that…<\/p>\n

“The story in AP, written by the untalented and very unreliable Jill Colvin, who I unfortunately got to know at the White House, is Fake News. We have very strong security, especially with the extremely talented Secret Service Agents on premises, but when I know someone, as I did Ye, we\u2019re not going to have my guests strip searched, thrown against walls, and otherwise physically beaten. The anonymous sources don\u2019t exist. Stories to the contrary are FAKE NEWS!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? Let’s set aside Trump’s customary lambasting of any reputable journalist that dares to tell the truth about him. What’s notable here is his willingness to allow strangers into his inner sanctum. This is, of course, the same place where he hoarded the classified documents that he stole from the White House<\/a><\/strong>. So imagine all the other nefarious characters who might have had access to them due to Trump’s dangerously casual attitude toward security.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Trump is asserting that anyone who does actually get vetted by his security team is routinely subjected to being “strip searched, thrown against walls, and otherwise physically beaten.”<\/em> If that’s the standard operating procedure at Mar-a-Lago, you have to wonder where he’s hiding all the bodies.<\/p>\n

The AP article that triggered Trump’s temper tantrum reported that…<\/p>\n

“[Trump’s] dinner with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and a rapper who has spewed antisemitic conspiracies … underscores the dangers of his limited campaign operation and leaves the former president subject to stinging criticism from fellow Republicans who increasingly see him as a liability.” […]<\/p>\n

“Trump\u2019s campaign is putting new protocols in place to ensure that those who meet with him are approved and fully vetted, according to people familiar with the plans who requested anonymity to share internal strategy. The changes will include expediting a system, borrowed from Trump\u2019s White House, in which a senior campaign official will be present with him at all times, according to one of the people.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Colvin’s sources, Trump’s staff has determined that he needs a chaperone at all times in order to prevent another dining catastrophe or other humiliation. That’s been apparent to Trump watchers for years. However, Trump disputes this story and calls it – what else – “fake news.”<\/em> So apparently he thinks his operational practices are working just fine, despite the repugnant guests he just hosted and the turmoil it’s caused.<\/p>\n

Trump’s brilliant excuse for the unsavory dinner party is that he had \u201cnever heard of\u201d<\/em> Fuentes and that he “had no idea what his views were.”<\/em> Which in some ways makes the whole affair worse. The aspiring leader of the free world really ought to know the most prominent hate mongers in America, especially if he’s inviting them into his home. But then, Trump has a history of not knowing people that he obviously knew. Here are some of his past denials…<\/p>\n
