Donald J. Trump

There is a Revolution going on in California. Soooo many Sanctuary areas want OUT of this ridiculous, crime infested & breeding concept. Jerry Brown is trying to back out of the National Guard at the Border, but the people of the State are not happy. Want Security & Safety NOW!

for claiming he has more insight on what Trump said about "breeding" because he (Cortes) is a Latino w/Latino parents.

Dyson told him "It is possible for one to be a white supremist in brown skin".

areas want OUT of this ridiculous, crime infested & breeding concept

if you diagram the sentence, he is implying a presumed repeat of the word "crime" in front of both "infested" and "breeding"

as in crime infested

and

crime breeding (breeding crime is a very common phrase)

BUT

it also (from both a pro and anti Trump stance)

is now being conflated to say that he was inferring "Latino breeding"

fodder for our side to show that he is a racist (which he flat-out is, of course)

and probably is a dog whistle for his white power scum voters/supporters

PLUS

it has a built-in excuse that he clan claim my initial point (implied crime breeding) to even further muddy the water, shit stir, AND for the cocksplat to claim he is being "falsely" attacked

as I said, it is the perfect Trumpian tweet

it also show the batshit insanity of governing by Twitter, with its medium-enforced "crammed, pushed-together" English (especially when combined with a numpty, barely literate fucker like Trump)

he was stoking the flames of hate against the Latino community during his 2016 presidential campaign.

He knows damn well what he's saying.
