Telling black NFL players to leave the country. Calling undocumented immigrants “animals.” Banning Muslims from the US. Attacking Chicago for gun violence.
He knows that fear + division feeds his base of white voters.
Trump’s never cared about policy. His entire career he’s used culture to build his divisive, bigoted platform he is now enforcing in America. From the Central Park 5 to Obama’s birth certificate, before he stepped foot in the Oval Office, he was using culture to build his power.
I have personally witnessed his racism, his homophobia, his Islamophobia, his anti-Semitism and for sure his sexism. His nastiness is no secret to anyone who has spent any time with him throughout his career. Sadly I had to be around him a few times. He is a vicious human being.
