Trump Can't Stop Calling People of Color Who Criticize Him Racist

President Trump has been calling a lot of people racist lately. Most of these people, as it so happens, are people of color. This is not a coincidence.

Trump’s latest target is Reverend Al Sharpton, who is in Baltimore on Monday following the president’s tweets that the congressional district of House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) is a “rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human being would want to live.”

Sharpton, Trump wrote in a string of tweets on Monday, is a “conman” who “Hates Whites & Cops!”

Hollering that Sharpton “Hates Whites” is the latest example of Trump’s pattern of gaslighting whenever he is accused of being racist. It goes like this: First, Trump levels a racist attack. Then, backed by conservative media and his lackeys in Congress, he claims that the attack was not racist. Finally, he says the people of color he was attacking are the real racists.

Another example of how he gives himself away when he spits out his invective.

Red summer 1919


First picture is white supremacists “hunting” for blacks in Chicago 1919 . He is using the same lingo to stir his lunatic magats imo with “These people hate whites & cops”

Red Summer was the late winter, spring, summer, and early autumn of 1919, which were marked by hundreds of deaths and a higher number of casualties across the United States, as the result of anti-black white supremacist terrorist attacks that occurred in more than three dozen cities and one rural county. In most instances, whites attacked African Americans.
In some cases many black people fought back, notably in Chicago and Washington, D.C. The highest number of fatalities occurred in the rural area around Elaine, Arkansas, where an estimated 100–240 black people, and five white people, were killed;
Chicago and Washington had 38 and 15 deaths, respectively, and many more injured, with extensive property damage in Chicago

Also you can see the difference in number killed when resistance is used and people fight back
Let’s all fight back by removing the head of this mess -Trump ASAP . Do not let him divide the USA one more day!
