The short-fingered vulgarian said what?

Just when people might start to forget that Donald Trump is a deeply bigoted and racist man, on top of his clinical malignant narcissism, he helpfully reminds us all that yes, he is indeed an unrepentant deeply bigoted and racist man.

“…really high levels of assery.”

Assery Twitters becomes him.

“So, I don’t want to say that it’s for sure. And probably it’s not.”-Trump wisdom

“Stuff happens” - Jeb! wisdom

Combined wisdom of both: “Shit may or may not happen. Can’t say one way or another, but we will decide what to do based on flippant fact finding with no sound basis or reasoned judgment, for sure.”

Trump is willfully blind. There are thousands of videos and pictures showing women and children among the refugees. Most of the refugees are in Jordan, Lebanon , or Turkey. The refugees who have made it to the USA, Canada, or Europe are the better educated and have more resources to help them get so far. If you were a doctor, lawyer, accountant, journalist, teacher, professor, or one of the Sunni upper crust, chances are that your husband, wife, son, brother or parents gave been murdered by Assad. These people did fight against Assad, peacefully at first, then when totally inadequate weapons. When Hungarians fled Soviet Tanks in 1956, we welcomed them, not accused them of not fighting with bare hands.

I know many Syrians and admire their fight for freedom. Chicken Hawks like Trump deserve our contempt.

So tell me, Donnie. Exactly what is their country? Is it Syria? Is it Daesh? (Daesh is the version of ISIS the ISISians apparently hate.) For whom should one fight to defend Syria?

I can’t see fighting in Assad’s army as an option that defends Syria, nor fighting for ISIS nor any of the other factions. This appears to be perilously close to Hobbes’, “War of all against all.” It seems to me like getting out of there is the most sensible thing that can be done.

A reporter needs to ask him if he wants the refugees to fight for Assad and the Russians. And if Trump would broker an agreement that would make it possible for the refugees safely to approach the government forces so they could volunteer.

Reporters should compete to see if they can get him to pivot back.

  These are not people.

That’s the sentence that chilled me in his rant.

What a fucktard.

He get’s his national security briefings from “the shows”. Makes sense that he saw a piece of footage with mostly men.

They were up circa 1987. He’s never been any different. Why anyone - literally, anyone at all, from an ordinary schmuck to a major CEO - still pays attention to him is beyond me.
