Trump is a racist scumbag: exhibit 932

[RodeoPants2]

Before you can convince people to commit atrocities against a group of people you:

- blame them for all the ills of society
- dehumanize them

Trump lashed out at undocumented immigrants during a White House meeting on Wednesday, warning in front of news cameras that dangerous people were clamoring to breach the country’s borders and branding such people “animals.”

He was specifically talking about MS-13, and you know it. They are animals. I know you would rather side with them than Trump as you so often make clear but it’s a bad look for you Andrea. https://twitter.com/mitchellreports/...63168189222913 …

And just when you think the "progressives" around here can't get any more ridiculous.

Was Trump also talking about MS-13 when he said Mexicans were rapists and drug dealers during his announcement to run for President?

Many are. Criminal records would support that. It's an inconvenient truth for you LWNJ's that immigration is a losing issue for you.

He exhorted his administration to “do much better” in keeping out undesirable people, including members of transnational gangs like MS-13. “We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — we’re stopping a lot of them,” Mr. Trump said in the Cabinet Room during an hourlong meeting that reporters were allowed to document. “You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people, these are animals, and we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before.”

What do you think he meant by that?

Immigrant populations commit less crimes than citizens do. You either aren’t aware of this or you don’t care.

But they just want to have an honest debate.

Please tell me what you think he said and then I can correct you.

Hard to tell. There is no direct communication line to whom he is referring too.

What is very obvious though, that unlike other instances where the president has bent over backwards to ensure people know he thinks there are "good people on both sides", the president can't be bothered to specify who he thinks are "animals" when talking about nonwhites.

Because if we just look facts, about 40 percent of of ICE arrestees have been non criminal and Trump just seems happy to allow the conflation of all immigrants with criminals to remain in subtext.

Why? I'm asking you what you thought he meant by that.

Supposedly he referenced undesirable people including members of MS-13. That sentence in the article immediately preceded the quote although it ended a paragraph and the quote started a new one. Trumpisms never seem to translate well to text but I would say that he was calling MS-13 animals pending a transcript.
