Trump believes white nationalism is a winning strategy — because Fox News tells him so
Fox News has gone so deep into white nationalism that Donald Trump now believes that's how he'll win in 2020
Soon, however, it became clear that this was strategic.
Trump thinks it's a winning move to echo the claims of David Duke and other white nationalists who
believe the United States is for white people.
He justified his racism by saying that "many people agree with me,"
and by continuing to rave on Twitter about how
the real purveyors of "racist hatred" are those who look askance at his embracing the rhetoric of Stormfront and the KKK.
Trump "believes that most Americans are as racist as he is and that he will be rewarded for this indecency with a second term."
"Trump's popularity has taken its sharpest dips whenever he goes full racist," and
that even that seemingly rock-solid level of support that sits right around 42% in opinion polls
has dipped into the 30s when Trump openly aligns himself with white nationalist views.
Trump has spent his entire term in office with lower overall approval ratings than any president in more than 60 years.
Since Trump was elected, the Fox News programming that promotes white nationalist ideas has slowly grown both in airtime and in severity.
"Replacement theory" — the white nationalist idea that has spurred multiple terrorist attacks,
holding that white people will somehow be removed and "replaced" by people of color
Now that's become a regular feature of slick Fox News segments, which suggest that
immigrants of color are "invading the country" and can never be "fully American,"
The network also hypes the idea that
nonwhite immigrants are dirty and diseased, as well as inherently criminal.
the same kind of rhetoric that was used to demonize the Irish and Italian immigrants of the past,
who were seen as threats to American culture due to scary foreign practices like putting garlic in food and praying with the Rosary.
Fox News ratings are high, and that is incredibly meaningful to Trump, who has a long-standing obsession with TV ratings
it's clear that he believes — or at least pretends to believe — that ratings are tied tightly to alliance with his racist agenda.
The pattern is clear:
Trump believes racism is more popular than anti-racism,
because,
he believes, racism gets TV viewers and anti-racism doesn't.
And getting TV viewers is the only measurement he takes seriously.

The notion that if you’re not with Team Trump, you’re automatically the enemy, and/or actively sabotaging them, is ridiculous on its face, truly fascist, disconnected from reality and ultimately a bad proposition for Team Trump in a democracy, since the faction votes alone are not enough.
While it might sound romantic to some minority plebe that there’s a dear leader, it’s largely the same two faced plebe that denounced the previous president for being some sort dictator and their followers for making a cult of personality out of him. In other words, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Telling VN anti-war dissenters "Love It or Leave It" from "My Country Right or Wrong" assholes was used by Repugs 50 years ago, accompanied with the manual workers, LE/FDs putting American flags on all their clothes, uniforms, to prove their imperial patriotism.
They were all LOSERs supporting cluster ing festing VN war that America lost.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the inevitable "fascist" drag line. Next out will be "Hitler." It's always in tandem.
Not liking a given word is not an argument.
Nope, just as assertion.
In rare rebuke, dozens of Republicans hit Trump over 'racist' tweets
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
After initial hesitation,
a growing number of Republicans in the U.S. Congress -
including almost half the Ohio delegation in the House -
have openly criticized President Donald Trump over his racially charged attacks on four Democratic lawmakers.
Three Republicans from Texas,
a solidly pro-Trump state,
also voiced some level of concern

Trump Humiliated As Bipartisan Group Of Lawmakers Votes To Condemn His Bigotry
While the vote was largely along party lines, it wasn’t completely partisan.
A handful of Republicans and the House’s only independent, Rep. Justin Amash, joined with Democrats to condemn Trump’s bigotry –
a fact that will likely get under the president’s very thin skin.
The condemnation passed by a 240-187 majority.
While it was a bipartisan rebuke of the president’s racism, that didn’t stop Republicans from trying to prevent the measure from advancing.

Trump’s Investment Boom — And Other Economic Myths
After the president signed his big tax cut, Lawrence Kudlow
“We’re on the front end of an investment boom.”
The investment boom hasn’t happened.
“A slim five percent rise in 2019 capital spending is in store, down from last year’s six percent gain,”
“That is a small annual gain compared with past decades, when double-digit increases in capital spending were relatively common.”
the level that Trump disparaged when Obama was president.
60 economists found that they expect real GDP growth to total less than 2 percent in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2019.
In 2016, the term Stephen Moore used for that rate of growth was “sluggish.”
“Nearly everyone who looked at this, other than the Trump administration itself, felt that this would have very little effect on the economy.”
If anyone has shown presidents don’t matter for the economy, it’s Trump,”
“The recent boost in growth does have something to do with deregulation.”
“The uncertainties around tariffs and trade have contributed to caution on the part of businesses.”
Trump has made less difference, for good or ill, than most people expected.
As economist Larry Kudlow puts it: ‘The Fed can print money, but it can’t create jobs.'”
Now, they see easy money as the only hope.

Trump and Jeffrey Epstein seem to discuss 'hot' women in 1992 video discovered by NBC
NBC has resurfaced an old tape of President Trump laughing and seeming to discuss women with Jeffrey Epstein,
Footage that aired on MSNBC on Wednesday, which Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski said was found in the NBC archives after being shot in November 1992 for a talk show appearance,
shows Trump partying at Mar-a-Lago with Epstein.
Trump seems to point a woman out to Epstein and say, "she's hot," although it's difficult to hear due to the loud music.
Epstein also laughs after Trump says something to him that isn't audible.
The footage also shows Trump grabbing a woman at the party.
