    Yeah, I did notice the use of “remigration” (although he said “reverse migration”) and “low-IQ” in referance to an ethnicity that happens to be black.

    White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

    Any group which resides at the pinnacle of privilege, yet feels aggrieved such that it requires exclusion of, and protection from, conflicting ideas, has relinquished all legitimate claims to strength and authority.

    Trump surmised: Yes, we might have our internal squabbles, but I am bringing tough love because we are all in this together. We are the standard bearers of western civilisation. We must resist the barbarian hordes. We must save the white man.

    The ageing president, who in 2024 complained, “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” told the World Economic Forum that he was “derived from Europe”, namely: “100% Scotland, my mother; 100% German, my father. And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe as a civilisation.” Trump speaking in front of a US flag. Speak hysterically and carry a big stick: Trump’s foreign policy threats Read more

    He lamented that “certain places in Europe are not even recognisable, frankly, any more”, blaming culprits that included “unchecked mass migration”. Trump said: “It’s horrible what they’re doing to themselves. They’re destroying themselves, these beautiful, beautiful places. We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones.”

    What came next was pure racism…

    That wasn’t the pure racism part?

      He went on to imply non-white people are not capable of producing functional civilization (I assume by ignoring most of human history) and went on a rant about Somalia.

      It’s racism only if it’s about the US part of North America. Otherwise it’s sparkling xenophobia.

    I’ve only interacted with two dementia/alzheimer’s patients, so I’ll admit I don’t know much about the conditions.

    While yes, they could get belligerent and uncooperative, but largely would agree with pretty much whatever you were saying, as long as you weren’t using a mean tone. Basically they were thought sponges that had no problem agreeing with whatever you said, and even repeating it for a short time before losing it.

    Trump is clearly a thought sponge for whoever he last spoke to that wasn’t immediately adversarial to him.

    I hope there’s a leak of certain tests that surprises people about the DNA makeup of these people.

      False, but also he holds all the guns. American justice and political systems are the ones who should be stopping him but failing miserably at it. In a normal democracy (see Brazil or South Korea for reference) he would be in jail.
