  He set up concentration camps for immigrants, Detention camps were around before Trump. You have a cite that Trump was the first one to detain illegal aliens? That would be earth shattering.

  praises white supremists, Do you have a cite for that?

  attacks Native Americans Do you have a cite for that?

    Ugh you guys are so annoying. We were there, you cheered him on as he did this and now it’s all “source???” “citation???” “statistics?”

    1. No I don’t have to say Trump was the first to set up “migrant” detention facilties. Just that he made them significantly worse or that he purposely separated families from each other, which is textbook eugenics

    2. Here he is doubling down on his praise for Charlottesville white supremists and Robert E. Lee (a traitor by the way, even though we aren’t talking about that)

    3. And here’s a governmental body telling you how shitty he was to the people who were here first. Also that doesn’t even address his super shitty comments to Elizabeth Warren

      Did he make things worse for criminals? Oh dear.

      It has nothing to do with eugenics. That is a very ignorant comment. Eugenics is about genetics.

      The children were separated to keep them safe. That is the same thing Obama did. It’s smart to keep the children separate from the criminal adults.

      Here he is doubling down on his praise for Charlottesville white supremists

      Which is false.

        Hey dipshit, you know laws are made up right? You know the holocaust was legally allowed in Germany, right? You can make anything a law, that doesn’t make it morally correct. I’d be a little more tempted to believe this wasn’t race based hatred if he really cared about illegal immigration but statistically the largest sources of illegal immigration comes from Asia and Europeans overstaying their visas. But he continues to harp on a useless border wall (they have ladders in Mexico) and he couldn’t even make that work because he’s so fucking incompetent. Also eugenics is about controlling the population of specific groups. One of the key steps in that is separating families to make their lives more difficult and to discourage them from reproducing. You know, the exact thing he was trying to do

        Also try reading your own source:

        Trump responded: “Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves — and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.”

        After further questioning from the reporter, and responses from Trump about people who were at the Charlottesville rally to support keeping the Lee statue, the president said, “You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”

        First off, those two statements are unrelated, secondly he was telling Proud Boys to" Stand by, and stand ready" which sure sounds like a racist dog whistle. Finally if he wasn’t talking about neo-nazis and white supremists, who was he talking about? White supremists marched and murdered, he said there were good people on both sides. Or was he supporting them in one sentence and then decrying them in the next? Which would make him a hypocrite at best and an idiot at worst
