Could some of trump*'s vile animosity towards Native Americans be 'casino' related?

[Siwsan]

Maybe not even on a conscious level, but could he just be venting some sort of misplaced childish jealousy at his being a massive failure, on the casino scene, when many Native American ones are prospering? Admittedly, I don't really have a big base of knowledge on the average casino prosperity, but I know the Saginaw Chippewa's casino in Mt. Pleasant, MI (Soaring Eagle) seems to be thriving, big time.

Or, is this just conjecture formed by me having one too many glasses of Chardonnay.

1. White supremacy.

Dude is a racist POS who admires Andrew Jackson for mainly one reason. Same with Bannon, Miller, Gorka and all these bastards.

[Runningdawg]

19. Yep - one of his first acts was to hang Jackson in the oval office - quite a message to Natives

[Ilsa]

2. No, he just hates everyone that isn't

White like him, and even despises lots of white women, preferring only the subservient ones.

[Kingofalldems]

Can not believe that bastard is in the WH.

9. Here is more information on this video..This is from 1993 .....

If you read this entire story. (at link above about Trump's testimony in 1993) you will see Trump's attitude toward Native Americans totally. Representative George Miller does a good job of getting Trump to expose his attitude clear and plain for everyone to see..

Trump in 1993, testifying in front of Native American affairs committee: "They don't look Indian" #inners https://t.co/A8xl9D5rgf

— All In w/Chris Hayes (@allinwithchris) July 1, 2016

As is often the case, the video adds a lot more context -- and, in this case, more content. We've transcribed the exchange, because the resonance with the 2016 campaign extends far beyond the "look like Indians" line.

REP. GEORGE MILLER (D-CALIF): Is this you, discussing Indian blood: "We're going to judge people by whether they have Indian blood whether they're qualified to run a casino or not?"

TRUMP: That probably is me, absolutely. Because I'll tell you what. If you look, if you look at some of the reservations that you've approved, that you, sir, in your great wisdom have approved, I will tell you right now -- they don't look like Indians to me. And they don't look like the Indians ... Now, maybe we say politically correct or not politically correct, they don't look like Indians to me, and they don't look like Indians to Indians.

And a lot of people are laughing at it. And you're telling me how tough it is and how rough it is to get approved. Well, you go up to Connecticut and you look. Now, they don't look like Indians to me, sir.

MILLER: Thank God that's not the test of whether or not people have rights in this country or not -- whether or not they pass your "look" test.

25. He sounds just as stupid now as he did 20+ yrs ago. Future Dotard.

[BeyondGeography]

12. Yup

Thanks for posting.

[bullwinkle428]

14. Was about to reply "THERE IS VIDEO EVIDENCE!"

[Strelnikov_]

17. This needs to be turned into a 30 sec political ad

Miller was sharp.

[Lonestarblue]

36. Why didn't we see clips like this before the 2016 election?

There was also a documentary (1991?) about his use of undocumented Polish workers and not paying them what they were owed.

The media could have informed the oublic of just who and what they were voting for, but they refused. Why?

Those of us who read knew he was a despicable man, but the media actually helped to cover up his despicableness!

[Guilded Lilly]

4. This man (immature human) will always have a concious level of vendetta...

Against any and everyone who breathes, if, in his deluded/twisted/ignorant/petty brain, they prevent him from getting something he wants.

[Siwsan]

6. Bingo!!

I can not WAIT for the utter and complete destruction of his name and brand!

[notdarkyet]

28. If he keeps with his group hating. His. Only votes will be wrinkled old fox watchers.

7. It's always revenge

With this fuck.

[moondust]

10. White supremacy.

Very good genes! He's from a superior race! Born to rule over the lesser races and take whatever he wants!

(Nazis were also into eugenics.)

[Wellstone ruled]

11. The real Puppet Master in this story is,

Sheldon Adelson and Sands Corp. And that dislike of Indian Casino Gaming goes back decades. Trump Casino's in Jersey came directly from the Native Casino's in near by Pennsey and Mass. That an total mismanagement,or as we now know,money laundering,and we are seeing Turmp's projection on his perceived enemies.

Adelson's Lawyers and Proxies have raised holy hell on the Native Gaming Communities since the early eighties . Watched this play out in real time in my Hometown.

[TexasBushwhacker]

31. Adelson hasxbeen pouring millions

into the fight against online gambling as well. If people can gamble online, their less likely to go to his casinos and spend money.

[Wellstone ruled]

34. And that will blow up in the near future.

The Vegas Boys had the smallest Super Bowl Handel in many years this year. And the online was to be run by these same Books only out of Vegas.

Adelson is using Trump to garner his way into Japan and Other Pacific Island Nations. One of our Independent News blogs have claimed he is carrying Trump's wish to own a Casino License in Southeast Asia. China or Japan?

[2naSalit]

13. No doubt there's something to that...nt

[demmiblue]

15. Oh, most definitely:

[Downtown Hound]

16. It's certainly possible

But at the end of the day he's just a racist asshole who comes from a long line of KKK linked family. He'd hate them no matter what.

[wishstar]

18. He and Roger Stone schemed to help his casino company with anti-Indian ad campaign in 2000

In 2000, when New York was considering expanding Native American casinos in the Catskill Mountains, a series of TV, newspaper and radio ads popped up in the state accusing the Mohawk Indian tribe of having long criminal records and ties to the mob. The ads showed pictures of cocaine lines and syringes and asked: “Are these the new neighbors we want?”

As far as the public knew, the ads were sponsored by a newly formed group called the Institute for Law and Safety. The group claimed that it was funded by 12,000 “grass-roots, pro-family” donors.

But in reality, it was bankrolled by Trump’s casino company. Stone asked a friend to pose as the group’s leader, but Stone designed the ads and Trump signed off on them. “Roger, this could be good!” Trump scrawled on a proof of the ad with the cocaine lines and syringes, according to documents first reported last month by the Los Angeles Times. Another ad warned of the ills that casino gambling would bring to the community: “increased crime, broken families, bankruptcies, and in the case of the Mohawks, violence.” Trump paid more than $1 million for the campaign.

Trump and Stone never reported the ad spending as a lobbying effort, as state law required, and acknowledged their role only after regulators launched an investigation. In a deposition, Stone told regulators that the only reason the organization was set up was to hide Trump’s involvement because a “pro-family” group would have more credibility with the public. The state lobbying commission imposed its largest-ever civil penalty — a $250,000 fine — and Trump and his associates agreed to issue a public apology.

[notdarkyet]

29. Thanks, this is the story. He is an evil monster, that goes after everyone.

[MagickMuffin]

35. Trumpery and his associates agreed to issue a public apology.

And did they???

It would surprise/shock me if they did

[Runningdawg]

20. I'm waiting for him to use a common racial slur for Native women. He's too stupid to know better.

[Siwsan]

21. I was thinking the very same thing, today

It's probably just a question of time. What might trigger it is someone telling him to NOT use that term.

[Runningdawg]

24. I don't think 90% of people in congress even know the word is a slur

A lot of other people don't. Someone will use it, more than likely directed at Warren, it's only a matter of time.

[ismnotwasm]

22. Such a dick

My son is a registered member of the Cowachin Tribe and is half, but you’d have to know what to look for to tell. Light skin, light eyes.

[bluestarone]

23. It will be soooo SWEET when MUELLER

DESTROYS this family ALONG with all the RETHUGS (TRAITORS) that gave them free reign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[suffragette]

26. Definitely. He has run racist ads, filed lawsuits and now is attacking sovereignty.

27. His aggrievement river runs wide and deep

Wouldn't surprise me.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. Deeper roots, but with casino issues Trump may have cemented in that part of his racist roots

He has such great racist animosity to so many groups.

Interesting hypothesis.

[RockRaven]

32. A bit like asking if his Obama hatred is related to his roasting at that WH Correspondents Dinner

sure it made it worse, or solidified or clarified it, but it was already there because at his most basic, Trump is just a racist P.O.S.

[Siwsan]

33. He is a font of endless grudges, that's for sure

It's always someone else's fault.

[pandr32]

37. Some, yes, but he is also plainly a racist

The fact that many tribes have successful casino operations probably adds resentment to his dung-heap of hatred. In his tiny mind no people (other than white or Saudi) would be doing well without white people help.
