President Donald Trump thanked a Hispanic border patrol agent in an event at the White House Monday, adding that he “speaks perfect English.”

“Adrian come here, I want to ask you a question,” Trump said after relaying the story of a United States Customs and Border Patrol Agent who arrested someone trying to smuggle more than 70 individuals across the border. “Come here, you're not nervous are you, speaks perfect English. Seventy-eight lives, you saved 78 people.”

Trump was hosting an event celebrating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection services (CBP) amid increasing attacks on the agency for its aggressive approach in tackling illegal immigration. Trump’s rhetoric describing Hispanics has long been criticized after he began his campaign for president by describing Mexican immigrants as rapists, drug traffickers and criminals.

More recently, his administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy was the subject of a major backlash after it resulted in the separation of families of immigrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump later issued an executive order to keep families together, however, a number of children remain separated from their parents.

Both of these were dog whistles to his cult.

4. He's so racist he doesn't even know what one is. He thinks it's just normal.

Above all else, I don't think I've seen another person so un-self-reflective, so un-self-critical that he never once asks himself if anything he thinks might be wrong. He's like a throwback to Archie Bunker.

6. You Hit the Nail on the Head.

Trump and his supporters are so racist that they do not know they are racist. Like Laura Ingram complaining about the sight of minorities in the US, they think their racist views are the norm.
