The Future President, Donald Trump

So by that thinking President Roosevelt was a racist?

By the way the Muslims terrorists are able to screen Muslims out of a group of hostages before killing the hostages by asking religion questions so I would assume that our people could do similar screening as well.

If you support Donald Trump, after all the racist things he has said, then you are a bigot as well

On Thursday morning, the director Rob Reiner appeared on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” and was asked to explain how in the world Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States.

Reiner, straight out of the gate, didn't mince words.

"There are a lot of people who are racist," Reiner declared.

Instantly the co-hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, were incredulous. They interjected, moaned and challenged Reiner, all but calling him a complete idiot for saying such a thing.

Reiner was serious and so were they. That's what's frightening. Three different people who have witnessed and studied Trump's disturbing ascendancy can come away with wildly different conclusions about it.

First off, we have to be honest about Mika and Joe's love for Donald Trump. They are his friends. Voicemails obtained between the three of them show their amazingly cozy relationship. Just a few months ago, a hot mic recorded Brzezinski, who was sitting with Trump, praising him and prepping him for some real softballs that she was about to throw his way. Donald loved it.
Beyond that, their exchange with Reiner revealed something much more disturbing — people who have not been the direct target of Donald's offensive bigotry seem to be fully prepared to give him and his fervent supporters a pass.

The Imperial Wizard for the KKK loves Donald Trump.

Former KKK leader David Duke has fawned over Trump for months and was recently recorded saying, he was proud of Trump for frightening wealthy "Jewish extremists" and the "Jewish supremacists who control our country."

Neo-Nazis are volunteering in his campaign offices.

Well-known white supremacists are attending his campaign rallies and assaulting people of color.

Don White, the founder of Stormfront, the leading white supremacist website in the world, openly credits Donald Trump for bringing swarms of new traffic to their platform and to white supremacy in general.

White supporters at a Las Vegas Trump rally, while assaulting a peaceful black protester, declared they wanted to "light that motherf----r on fire," which actually happened often to lynching victims during Jim Crow.

Another white Trump supporter openly spit right in the face of a peaceful Latino protester at a Trump rally.

Yet another white Trump supporter openly assaulted a peaceful black protester with a brutal elbow to his face. In the days that followed, Trump suggested he'd cover the legal fees of his supporter.

Another white Trump supporter, walking out of a rally, told a demonstrator to "Go to Auschwitz. Go to f---ing Auschwitz," while making a Nazi salute. Auschwitz, of course, was a horrendous Nazi death camp.

Another white Trump supporter said at a rally that he hoped Donald would have a policy paying people "$50 for every confirmed kill" along the American border.

White supporters at another rally said to a Latino protester, "clean my hotel room, b---h."

I could go on and on and on.

These weren't isolated incidents. They weren't all at one location or rally. They were everywhere.

Those things aren't happening at rallies for Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton because people who feel like that aren't going to those events. Racist, xenophobic bigots feel at home with Donald Trump because he made them feel welcome.

Donald Trump was one of the most vocal in the birther movement against President Obama. That's racist.

Donald Trump started his campaign off by framing Latinos as criminals and rapists. That's bigoted.

Donald Trump announced a deportation plan to "round up" every undocumented American and drop them off in Mexico in two years. That's over 400,000 people a month and resembles Nazi Germany. That's bigoted.

Donald Trump said he would ban all Muslims from entering the United States. That's xenophobic and bigoted.

Donald Trump tweeted a fake meme created by a white supremacist with fake crime stats about African-Americans. That's racist.

Fortune Magazine did a deep and disturbing dive on how far Trump's online connections to white supremacists go.

If you support Donald Trump, after all he has said and done to offend virtually every ethnic group in America, after he has been blatantly gross and bigoted and inhumane, then you are a bigot as well.

His bigotry isn't a secret. It's been widely publicized here and in virtually every mainstream media outlet in this country. To support him with a vote is to condone what he has already said and done.

Conservatives had other choices.

The current governors of Wisconsin, New Jersey and Ohio were running.
The former governors of Texas and Florida were running.
Current senators from Kentucky, South Carolina, Florida and Texas were running.
A doctor and a former tech CEO were running.

Republican primary voters, though, chose Trump. Denying why they chose him isn't just insincere, it's a lie. The Republican Party has now become a front for white nationalism and Donald Trump is its leader.

Asked about that global concern Turnbull said: “I have absolutely no doubt the Anzus alliance – the Australian-American relationship – will continue to grow and strengthen regardless of who the president is.

“Our relationship with the US is so deep, it’s based on thousands if not millions of individual relationships, it’s been built up over generations.

“Presidents and prime ministers can adjust it a bit but really it’s a deep and strong relationship, and I have no doubt regardless of who the American people choose we will always have a very very strong friend and ally in Washington.”

What about Canadian Muslims? They don't even need a passport.

It is definitely religious bigotry to say we should ban travelers to this country based on their religion (which is what Trump proposed and is not related to immigration). It is racist if you assume people of a certain skin color are a certain religion. I can't imagine how Trump would know to ban white Muslims or allow brown Christians through, but I'm sure he had a plan.
