"They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists."

How is this not racist? He's saying that all Mexicans are drug addicts/dealers, rapists, and criminals. How do conservatives pretend that modern day racism is a fucking myth?

How bout you post the whole quote:

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

He's talking about illegal immigration. Sorry if that's offensive but it is against the law to enter this country illegally.

A much better solution would be to get rid of the winner take all aspect of the EC. Just because 51% of a state votes for a candidate, should not mean the remaining 49% of that state's population's votes should go to that candidate as well.

This is not in the constitution. Some states will have to pass laws to remove pledge penalties, etc... so it would need to be done on a state by state basis. Good luck.

Your argument is empty without the context.

That doesn't mean anything in this context. Trump says he will protect LGBT rights. Since when does the Vice President's word override the President's word? Until it does, rest assured, LGBT rights are here to stay.

i mean, with the repeal of obamacare, at least the T's will be in quite the life threatening tightspot, should they lose the coverage that finances their hormone therapy. because once the reassignment is through, those hormone pills are literally keeping them alive

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Your argument is empty without the context.

the context was a speech against mexican immigrants implying that all that plagues the country is them, when in reality, they're literally the foundation for countless american businesses, ranging everywhere from maintenance to restaurants.

the fact that illegal immigrants enter the country illegally doesn't make his drugs n rapist sentence less racist.

Trump and other Republican leaders have repeatedly said they want a "smooth transition" to a GOP plan so that millions of Americans will not suddenly lose coverage.

Source: http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/20/politics/trump-signs-executive-order-on-obamacare/

The "T's" won't have to worry about a sudden loss, according to the Trump administration.

Is your argument that Trump's word is his bond?
Not necessarily, but do you honestly believe he will strip away their rights? Besides, he's already on the path to repealing Obamacare (the link above serves as evidence), which is something he's been saying he'll do for a long time. If this trend continues (the trend being that he lives up to what he's been promising), he will not back down on his promise to preserve LGBT rights.

It doesn't make it racist either. He's talking about illegal immigrants and what he perceives are the issues they bring. Not the entire Mexican population...

President Trump needs to stay true to his word and start bringing back jobs back to USA.

He's right in saying America first. It's just like putting your family first before strangers, no different here.
He already has with Ford & Carrier, just to name a few, and that was before he was even president! #MAGA
