Trump Weighs Venezuelan Protections | Talking Points Memo

:moneybag:

Yeah we get to watch ringside the political equivalent of Chump trying to win back the favors of various women he’s scorched on the national stage. She didn’t mean a thing honey…it was only the one time snookums…I promise you a fur coat if you come back…the gonorrhea is cured…well I know I said…I like dressing up as women…she only worked a short time at MarALago…but it’s youuu I really love…

Refugees from South American authoritarian governments will still distrust democracy and love authoritarians. Unfortunately.

When we say that Trump is transactional, we mean transactional.

Not to rain on Trump’s Nazi bonafides…

But to keep out of an 8X8 in SupermaxVille, the transactional Donald Trump would change into his best version of a male Liz Warren, overnight.

With Trump, the operative assumption is: ā€œWhat can I get out of this?ā€

The assumption that Latinos are strictly transactional voters is sickening and cynical.

This is proof for the courts that his bogus National Emergency is all about his campaign and electoral manipulation of the electorate. How dumb does he think Americans are?

Most young Cubans voted for Obama and they see what he’s doing about Cuban policy which at one point they welcomed, They also see the potential for Puerto Rican disenfranchisement that have come to the US following Maria, along with other Hispanic treatment of immigrants in such demeaning ways. I can’t believe they don’t see through his bullshit.

Hey, GOP! You know what would be a crass, yet awesome, political opportunity? Protect all Americans, stand for equal rights, update the immigration laws, and promise to spread the gospel of equal opportunity throughout the land.

Seriously, if you adopt many of the Democratic principles, who are the gun-toting, homophobes going to run to?

It’s a formula guaranteed to win! I promise.

Man, are these people dumb or what? Like Puerto Ricans are the same as Venezuelans because they both have brown skin. That’s like saying Floridians are like Californians because both states grow oranges.

If they wanted Florida’s Puerto Rican vote, they should have rebuilt Puerto Rico.

If they wanted Florida’s Cuban vote, they should have improved relations with Cuba.

ā€œTrump reportedly sees the prospect as a two-for-one deal — not only would the move play well with Florida’s sizable Venezuelan population, but like-minded Cuban Americans as well. Trump is particularly concerned with his declining approval rating in Florida since narrowly winning the state in 2016.ā€

(trump day dreams…)
OK… two for one deal. Lessee here … Cuba, Venezuela… they’re the same…right? Give one immigration amnesty and they’ll both automatically vote fer me…right?

NO DONALD…it does not work that way. And besides you seem to hate Puerto Ricans Who Are American Citizens and can vote yet you court Venezuelans and Cuban immigrants who may not be citizens anyway and so cannot vote. Unless that is you’re gonna do something illegal and trump would never ever do something illegal…

He just figured out he can’t win with just his all white male Xtian evangelical base of non-college graduates 50 years and older who watch Faux News 10 hours a day and are racist to the bone. Imagine that. What took him so long?

So I guess those polls don’t lie and aren’t fake news after all, huh Donnie?

That one is complicated, since improving relations with Cuba appears to have actually cost a good deal of Florida’s Cuban vote. (Even Fidel Castro being dead doesn’t seem to have helped that score.) Younger Floridians of Cuban origins seem be seeing the light, so there may be hope, assuming that we all live long enough.

ā€œā€¦to distinguish between ā€˜good brown people’ and 'bad brown peopleā€ easy peezy: brand the good brown people with a D for deserving, and the bad brown people with a U for undeserving. Those beyond the pale could be tattooed with numbers./snark

And how will his MAGAT/Nazi/Fascist/Confederate base feel about Hair Furor allowing ā€œinfestationā€ by ā€œbedbugsā€?

Maybe Bretbug Stephens can write a column on this?

Logic is as common place among the trump crowd as is empathy and being considerate of a person in difficulty.

But the man genuinely likes a taco salad from time to time, as a break from the KFC and burgers. Isn’t that proof positive that he has the best interests of the Hispanic community at heart?
