When people show you who they are, believe them..... Maya Angelou.
It is now Sunday morning. It is too late for Trump to say anything. The moment is gone. Whatever he says today, if he says anything at all, has no meaning. There is no cleaning this up. It is too late to get in front of a camera or put out a tweet with appropriate words that everyone knows he would not have written himself.
Trump is a white nationalist. He is a nazi sympathizer. He is on film espousing the belief that he has superior genes. That is who he is and he has told us many times. We need to believe him.

(15,245 posts)There is an opportunity to identify enablers using the "both sides do it" defense. When given rope Trump and his enablers use it in a self destructive fashion.

Each pronouncement will make vote suppression that much more difficult in multi-racial, multi-ethnic states. Donnie might get free passes in mostly-white states like West Virginia, Wisconsin, and South Dakota, but there's a potential for tremors in not-so-whitebread states like Texas and Arizona.

(10,497 posts)He would do whatever he thinks is best for Donald Trump. He thinks he is better than EVERYONE, but certainly any minority. These people are his base which he knows he cannot erode any further. Everyone else is already against him.

This translation of an excerpt of the poem The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam, was written in 1859. While wise people can appreciate the wisdom, this concept is beyond the comprehension of an opportunist, a compulsive liar, or a narcissist.
Sadly, we have a pathological Trifecta in the Oval Office. Equally sadly, the Cult *45 are emboldened by his overt racism.
