Trump's core base of about 25% of America will never leave him because he gave them the
right to use the n****r word again in public and with pride. BTW these white dumb asses

... Cincinnati the rural aspect is just a cover for their generational bigotry. And it is not just limited to
S.W. OH too. I knew of Jewish family from Bexely, OH (Columbus, OH) who moved to rural Knox
County, OH because they wanted to live in the country but had to move out with in a year because of
the crap they had to put up with from the locals. Their daughter had a birthday party .... 2nd or 3rd
grade level and so they invited some of the local kids to the party along with a couple of her black
friends from Columbus and some of the local parents were furious that they had exposed their precious
kids to not only jews but blacks too.

When Trump does his "White Power" gang sign it is not by accident and he is sending message to his
bigoted base.

His dad was arrested @ a Klan riot/rally in Brooklyn, Donald and Fred Trump's apartment
company had to pay the largest fine in the history of the DoJ for housing discrimination,
and nothing could be more racist then his birther crap. "Hey boy you don't look like you
are from around here let me see your papers."

Vlad Putin has also been and still is fanning the flames of racial division in America in order to
help Trump and to weaken America too. Much of the screaming "butt hurt" about the NFL players
kneeling was ramped up on social media from Russia. 3 web sites "stand for the troops", stand
for the flag", and "stand for the anthem" were out of St. Petersburg and both Trump and Fox
News promoted those web sites.

Trump says he hopes George Floyd 'looking down' and seeing today's jobs numbers as 'a great day for

Donald Trump says he hopes George Floyd, who was killed by police on Memorial Day after an officer forced his knee on the back of his neck for nearly nine minutes while facing the ground in handcuffs, is "looking down right now" and saying today is a "great thing that's happening for our country" as the nation's unemployment rate declined but remains higher than during the Great Recession.

The president said: "Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, 'This is a great thing that's happening for our country. It's a great day for him, it's a great day for everybody. It's a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day."

Asked how the rate of unemployment among black Americans can be considered a "victory" as it continues to increase, the president told a reporter outside the White House, "You are really something."


Is there any doubt that he's literally an evil madman?

(and BTW the above unemployment rate figures are the erroneous too low values that are not corrected for many unemployed being misclassified as employed, an "about 3 percentage points" error in the overall unemployment rate. There are no corrected values anywhere -- https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=13560715 ).

He cannot now, in person, own up to what he has already tweeted and spoken and conveyed through the trolls who service him. It is not possible for him to bend that far.

He has previously failed to effectively pretend to do the right thing and is in himself incapable of it. The only thing he can do to promote any healing is to resign, and Trump will never do that.

This will not go well. It will end in further anger and tears for the rest of America.

He then asked his staff for "any white stuff."

C-SPAN also caught the moments after Trump delivered his speech as the cameras were still rolling.

"OK," Trump said with a sigh as he began to remove his mic from his lapel.
