Like a mob boss during a bust out: Trump biographer warns what he is doing to America is far worse

Like a mob boss during a ‘bust out’: Trump biographer warns what he is doing to America is far worse than you think

President Donald Trump is harming the United States in a way that is far worse than Americans think, according to his former biographer David Cay Johnston.

During a discussion on Dean Obeidallah’s SiriusXM radio show Monday, Johnston attacked what is expected to be heard by the president during the State of the Union Tuesday evening. He specifically cited Trump’s obsession with so-called “chain migration” that Johnston refered to as “family unification” which would fall under what the GOP once called “family values.”

“This is a racist policy. Donald Trump is a racist,” Johnston said. “This idea that Trump has laid out of what he calls chain migration’ — which comes right out of the racist literature that is read by people like Stephen Miller in the White House–is nonsense. It doesn’t mean like Donald said the other day that you can bring in ’32 people.'”

Citing social science literature, he noted that the reason Trump’s approval rating has been stuck in the mid 30s is due to one-third of Americans who hate civil rights.
