Trump/GOP trying to make US afraid of the wrong people

78% of extremist murders in 2018 were committed by white supremacists/nationalists.

Almost all the others were ideologically connected to white nationalism in some way.

Trump makes almost daily calls to Fox’s Lou Dobbs for advice on how to attack immigrants: report

“The Dobbs-Trump mind” as they term it means that Dobbs has more access to the President that most official advisors and government entities.

For example, Trump recently let Dobbs listen in on a meeting on economic policy with the Council of Economic Advisers.

“Day by day, the relationship between the bombastic president and the cranky anchorman has become an object of curiosity and amusement. But it is also something much more profound,” the Washington Post writes.

Dobbs helped shape some of Trump’s most extreme policies at the border, the Post notes.

Only 2 people in American history have received 65 million votes or more. 1 is black. 1 is a woman.

Six months after electing a diverse wave of women to Congress, some "electability"-minded Democrats fear the U.S. isn't ready for a woman, person of color or LGBTQ presidential candidate. @nprpolitics

Trump Approved Census

April 23, 2019

Do these seem like the actions of an innocent man?

In the last days/hours/minutes, the Trump admin:
* Ignored the 2nd deadline for Trump's tax returns
* Sued the Oversight Cmte. & Trump's accounting firm
* Told Carl Kline not to testify before the Oversight Cmte.
* Decided to fight a Judiciary Cmte. subpoena for McGahn to testify
