UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President



“I’ve watched men bleed out in the Ardennes for a flag you’re not fit to hold, let alone wrap yourself in. You think bluster is bravery? I led men through hell. You couldn’t march through rain without whining about your hair.
You dodged the draft, praised dictators, and called that strength. I stared down Rommel’s panzers and pissed in the Rhine. You ran from bone spurs and hid behind Twitter like a spoiled child playing general.
You talk about purging patriots and jailing dissenters? That’s not power. That’s cowardice in a cheap suit and a clip-on tie.
I fought Nazis. You invite them. I liberated camps. You threaten to build new ones. I defended democracy with a .45 and a tank. You disgrace it with a pen and a podium.
So let’s be clear, sunshine: if you’d stood in front of me in ’44 spewing this treasonous filth, I’d have court-martialed you so fast your gold toilet would’ve flushed itself.
You’re a disgrace to the presidency and this Republic. And if you keep dragging this country toward dictatorship, history won’t salute you—it’ll spit.”

I know at this point, we're conditioned to ignore a certain level of this, but I think it might be time to revisit "this motherfucker is crazy".
 
What Trump thinks about black people


FOR THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO CLICK THE LINK.


Donald Trump’s biographer has given some insights into the way he thinks the president perceives the Black community.

“Clearly, he has some issue with Black people,” Michael Wolff told The Daily Beast Podcast on Thursday. “The world is a better place to him without Black people, or without having to be aware of Black people, without Black people somehow in what he considers a zero sum game with white people.”

The president has a long history of incendiary rhetoric and a
ctions described by his critics as racist, though he stringently denies those allegations and even told reporters back in 2018 he was “the least racist person you have ever interviewed.”

In 1973, the Department of Justice sued Trump and his companies for discriminating against Black renters, and under the Obama administration he was one of the most vocal proponents of the “birther” conspiracy theory.

He’s also continued to maintain that the Central Park Five, a group of mostly Black teenagers, were responsible for the rape of a white woman in 1989, despite all five men having been fully exonerated in 2002.

He launched his 2016 election campaign with a speech accusing Mexico of deliberately sending “criminals” and “rapists” across the border into the United States.

The following year, he described participants at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, as “very fine people,” before in 2018 referring to African countries as “s---holes” during an Oval Office meet about immigration.

“Trump certainly regards Black people as profoundly different from white people,” Wolff further said during his sit-down with the Daily Beast. “I mean the word racist now becomes in the Trump world a kind of high praise, because it’s meant to suggest the liberal overreach and the liberals call anybody racist.”
