Isn’t it interesting that, all through Trump’s 2016 campaign, he disparaged America (that’s what “Make America Great, Again” is actually doing.) Remember, "American Carnage in his inaugural address?
However, now, any criticism of America is grounds for instant dismissal and deportation!
It is truly fascinating to observe that Trump’s followers see no dichotomy here.
A map in today’s NYTimes shows the states where Trump’s approval ratings are over 60% also are the states with lowest percentage of college graduates and lowest percentage of Hispanic populations. Ignorance & fear of the unfamiliar = Trump supporter
New GOP panic about Trump’s racism reveals an ugly truth
Greg Sargent, The Washington Post, July 19, 2019
The Times tells us Republicans fear telling lawmakers to get out will “backfire” because it appears “personal.” Yet Trump had repeatedly said to “go back” and “leave.”
What changed? Well, the Times also reports that Trump advisers privately warned against letting these sentiments get out of control at his rally.
So I submit to you that the key difference is twofold: Trump’s naked hatred and cruelty was captured on live television, and along with it so was the seething anger of the hard-core Trump base.
The whole nation saw in dramatic fashion that Trump voters understood his meaning perfectly well, and watched them not just agree with it, but also amplify it with as ugly and hate-curdled a chant as one could imagine.
Donald John Trump is a misogynistic, bigoted racist.
Bigots and racists are known to be what was described, in less ‘enlightened’ times as “Mental Defectives”.
Misogynists can usually have their “misogyny” traced back to being “p*ssywhipped” as a child or young man.
Trump’s “bullying” probably stems from his deep-seated feelings of inferiority which, of course, stems from him ACTUALLY being inferior to almost everyone he meets.

He’s welcome (by me at least) to leave. Sooner is better. “Tata! Write if you find work!”
