HATE AND THEN SOME

The Words of DJT, by Rich Paschall

The famous orange politician/reality celebrity has come to the end of his campaign with a racist-filled speech highlighting his usual us versus them style. He has successfully divided the country by denouncing certain classes, ethnic backgrounds, women, and people of color. It seems to have worked as almost half the country is ready to vote for him. While he may lose the popular vote by millions, he may take the electoral vote in an antiquated system that has brought out the worst in political parties, particularly the red one.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.” – Abraham Lincoln

After Trump’s recent 6-hour campaign rally at Madison Square Garden, comparisons to fascist campaigns, particularly that of the Nazis, have been pouring out. The length of the event and the attacks on minority groups would be worthy of any wannabe dictator.

Maybe it’s just something you have; you have the winning gene. Frankly, it would be wonderful if you could develop it, but I’m not so sure you can. You know, I’m proud to have that German blood, there’s no question about it. Great stuff.” – Donald Trump, 2016

Trump’s repeated comments on the subject either imply or outright state that certain races are superior to others. This hateful approach is similar to that of Adolf Hitler at his rallies. The world has since condemned the words of Hitler. Trump is getting a pass in certain circles.

You have to be born lucky in the sense that you have to have the right genes.” – Donald Trump to Oprah Winfrey, 1988

I always said that winning is somewhat, maybe, innate. Maybe it’s just something you have; you have the winning gene.” – DJT, 2016

Hitler believed he was superior and tried to rid the nation and the world of those he deemed unacceptable. Trump wants to rid our nation of immigrants. He thinks of many of them as criminals:

Many of them murdered far more than one person, and they are 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.” – Donald Trump describing immigrants, Octrober 7, 2024.

There is no proof that any of this statement is true. As we have learned, the orange one is not against making up “facts” in his interviews and speeches.

They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump told a New Hampshire campaign rally last year when speaking about immigrants.

Hitler referred to “blood poisoning” in his attack on immigrants and the mixing of races in “Mein Kampf.”  “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning,” Hitler said. Is this not close to what Trump believes?

They’re destroying the blood of our country. That’s what they’re doing. They’re destroying our country,” Trump said of immigrants in a campaign speech in Iowa in December 2023.

Trump claimed not to have read Mein Kampf, but his ex-wife Ivana Trump claimed in a 1990 Vanity Fair article that Trump kept an anthology of Hitler speeches, “My New Order” by his bed. “”If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them,” Trump responded but was he telling the truth?

The Democrats say, ‘Please don’t call them animals. They’re humans.’ I said, ‘No, they’re not humans, they’re not humans, they’re animals.’” DJT on immigrants, April 2024

Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” DJT on immigrants, particularly from Haiti, El Salvador, and certain African countries, January 2018.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” DJT, June 16, 2015.

This was part of the infamous announcement of Trump’s first presidential run. Despite the criticism for entering the campaign with a hate-filled speech, Trump went on to capture the electoral vote in 2016.

On “the blacks:” “I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks,” Trump said in April 2011.

That is probably not very true. According to John R O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, Trump said, “Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that.

On The Japanese: “Who the f knows? I mean, really, who knows how much the Japs will pay for Manhattan property these days?” DJT, January 1989

DJT was asked if he could estimate his wealth. His response included an ethnic slur.

To Jewish businessmen: “I’m a negotiator like you folks” “Is there anyone in this room who doesn’t negotiate deals?” DJT to Republican Jewish Coalition, December 3, 2015

Trump’s remarks included typical stereotypes often used against Jewish businessmen. “You’re not going to support me even though I’ll be the best guy for Israel,” he added.

On women “You have to treat ‘em like shit,” New York magazine profile November 1992.

On his opponent: “She’s so bad. She’s so pathetic. She’s so fu*king bad” DJT, July 3, 2024

There are mountains of insults Trump has hurled at women. They are so frequent you can not even count them all. This one, however, should have ended his chances for office, but his devoted followers did not even seem to care about it.: “I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything … Grab them by the p**sy. You can do anything.”

Most Republicans are afraid to push back against the racist comments of the former and possibly the next president. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie had this to say: “He’s disgusting, and what he’s doing is dog-whistle to Americans who feel absolutely under stress and strained from the economy and from the conflicts around the world, and he’s dog-whistling to blame it on people from areas who don’t look like us.”

Does the Orange One have the character to be president? Didn’t his first term teach us anything?

    Wouldn’t it be nice if both sides could focus on uniting our country? If you get a chance, you should search some of the uniting quotes former President Trump has made over the years. I hope whoever wins will work at uniting the country and more importantly that the country will let them. Get out and vote on Tuesday!

    I’ve obsessed beyond any normal obsession and come what may, I’m shutting down for a few days to absorb the good news, or shake with terror at the bad news. I’m VERY glad Garry isn’t working in the news anymore. Dangerous enough to have a “liberal” blog or similarly, a liberal podcast. I need this mess to GO AWAY and STAY AWAY for the rest of my life, for however long that may be.
