Seems that CNN, MSNBC, CBS and all the others on the left keep telling us, “Trump is a Racist.” What’s the truth? Does Trump hate Black people? Does Trump hate Mexicans? Does Trump hate Jews? Does Trump hate any race of people?
I’m going to address a couple of these and will add on as I have time. Here’s the first one…
People keep saying that Trump hates Jews. Let’s set aside the fact that Trump’s daughter is a Jewish convert and his son-in-law is Jewish. How about if you just hear it from the prime minister of Israel, Netanyahu? He says, “No greater supporter to Jewish people than Trump.” Just listen for yourself.
It seems we can cancel those who say that Trump doesn’t like Jews. This is one off the list. Let’s see what else we can come up with.
MSNBC reported the following as what Trump said. Do please notice where the quotes are and what is in the brackets.
Read the Youtube headline “Donald Trump’s Comments on Immigrants: They’re Rapists. They All Have AIDS | Velshi & Ruhle |MSNBC”
Now, if Trump actually said this, I’d fire Trump in an instant. The announcer Ali Velshi states the lead up and the clip continues, “Back when he announced his candidacy, the day he announced his candidacy in 2015 he made inflammatory remarks about Mexican immigrants” and the next words out of Trump’s mouth – mid-sentence, just as the headline showed were “they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists and some I assume are good people.” That’s it, that’s all that was shown at that moment, to bookend the point made about Trump being racist as he turns and rushes to the next feed of information.
What about what came before that mid sentence clip that Kenyan-born Muslim Ali Velshi set this up for? (giving context for those opposing Trump and any potential bias) MSNBC doesn’t want you to know the truth.
Here is one of the pieces that Ali Velshi has for us. One of Ali’s quotes leading into many different comments against Trump, everyone one which he only gives a snippet, while concealing ALL CONTEXT. “Long list of incendiary remarks from Donald Trump.” – Ali Velshi
C-Span2 – here is what Trump actually said. “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everyone else’s problems.” He’s not wrong. Countries all over the world are broken and many are in war or overrun with crime. Mexico being one of them. Entire Mexican border towns filled with cartel. Tell me… Do you have a trip scheduled to go to Tijuana or Nuevo Laredo anytime soon? If you do, you should really consider that Tijuana is officially the highest murder rate in the world. This is a border town in California, right next to San Diego.
Many of the people in those countries are broke and have no options and FLEE their country in hopes of something better. These aren’t primarily the elite of these countries. Really think about that. This is reality. Trump also said, “When Mexico sends it’s people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending YOU.” Process this as well. He looks around, most likely at other immigrants who are solid contributors to our society and our country.
Trump said “When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us at our stupidity. And now they’re beating us economically. They are not our friend. Believe me. But they’re killing us economically. The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.” (someone yelled out something) “It’s true,” Trump continued. “And these aren’t the best and the finest. When Mexico sends it’s people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people who have lots of problems. And they’re bringing those problems with us. (I would assume me meant -with them – but you decide) They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists and some I assume are good people.”
Ali Velshi/MSNBC says – Trump just said “Mexican immigrants” – when what Trump actually said was “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.” & “And these aren’t the best and the finest. When Mexico sends it’s people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people who have lots of problems. And they’re bringing those problems with us. (them)”
Why are people leaving Mexico? They aren’t in a war are they? NBCNEWS reported October of 2021, “Violent crimes rise in Mexico; 94.8% go unpunished.” 1
Why doesn’t anyone give a crap about the problem and just solve the problem by taking on everyone else’s problems?
Back to it. Who are the people coming across the border illegally? It’s not the industrious family guy who works every day taking care of his family and has a great community to back him. It’s not the rich executives. It’s not those that have much of anything, but this do the often have to scrape up some money to come across. Why?
The destitute are coming across. But how do they get across? Do they just decide to head north and swim across the river and walk into the United States? NOT THAT EASY. Here’s what they aren’t telling you or at least what most of you are not seeing:
Cartel decides who comes across the border – from Texas to California. Let that sink in.
A couple million people have illegally come across the border this year alone. In this chaos, fentanyl is being strapped onto migrants and these migrants are indebted to the cartels to deliver these drugs to some recipients already on our side of the border. It’s drug trafficking.
The same Mexican cartels are holding more and more migrants for ransom as well, once they illegally get them across the border. The cartels are kidnapping these people and holding them in Texas cities in deplorable conditions. Remember, these migrants already paid once, to even get across the border, then they are tricked, kidnapped and held for ransom.
I question this source above.
Legal immigrants commit crimes as a lesser percentage than US citizens – sources: The Sentencing Project and Cano Institute (libertarian). Perhaps this is true. And I hope it is. Legal immigrants are vetted before they are inducted into the United States and if they were found to have a criminal background, they would likely be ineligible.
The same is not true of illegal aliens. First, crossing the border is by it’s very nature illegal. Then getting a job, they are often committing a felony to obtain the proper documents to get a job, to drive and obtain benefits that are generally restricted to U.S. citizens. This includes documents like fraudulent Social Security numbers, which is a Federal offense, which they are actually utilizing other citizen’s numbers in the United States that they obtain to live in the U.S. This means fraud and U.S. citizens are directly impacted, sues, jailed and otherwise, because of the acts of illegal immigrants that stole their information. Destroys people’s credit scores, destroys people’s lives and can take away their freedom.
REPHRASE THIS – when dealing with illegals – It can take U.S. citizens YEARS to unscrew themselves from all the problems of illegal aliens using their Social Security numbers.
Here were other headlines – in 2015
Now, many may not like that Trump doesn’t see Mexico as our friend. And many may disagree and say that Mexico isn’t benefitting off of us economically, in an unfair way.
“I like Mexico. I love the Mexican people. I do business with the Mexican people, but you have people coming through the border that are from all over. And they’re bad. They’re really bad,” he said. “You have people coming in, and I’m not just saying Mexicans, I’m talking about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists and they’re coming into this country.” 7
During Trump’s presidential campaign for the 2016 election was a flurry of news reports of Trump “Quotes” and they were all pointing at Trump being a racist. Let’s look at what was said.
Who is Carlos Slim? Other than owning Ora a Mexican television network,
The New York Times & Carlos Slim
Business Insider did a piece showing Trump talking about Carlos Slim on October 14th, 2016, where Trump indicated that Carlos owned 17% of The New York Time.9 Accessed on 10/26/2020
Quick review of The New York Times itself showed Trump’s assertion to be true 10.
Background of Carlos Slim Helu’:
Son of Catholic Lebanese immigrants to Mexico. As of this year, he is at about $50 billion of net worth.13 However another report is that as of 2017, he was at $65 billion, per Forbes.14

One of the articles before also mentioned Amazon.com’s founder Jeff Bezos buying the Washington Post in 2013.15

Shiela Weaver – Mind you Sanctuary Cities started happening BEFORE Trump came to be our president. Why? You tell me… Note the date – 2015, July. https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/07/08/timeline-how-san-francisco-became-a-sanctuary-city-for-undocumented-immigrants/
Overall deportations trending down since Trump: Start with this one – then look up the 2017, 2018 – https://www.ice.gov/removal-statistics/2016https://www.ice.gov/statistics#wcm-survey-target-id
Pew research: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/03/02/how-border-apprehensions-ice-arrests-and-deportations-have-changed-under-trump/
You will have fun with this one, because you will see the stat (Southwest border apprehensions have more than doubled FY 2019) since the year prior. Key word – BORDER. Not deportations, but stopping them. Then read the rest – Ice arrests go up from 2016, but were still less than under the years of Obama’s watch.
Last couple years have risen since Trump took office, but are still under the “highs” of Obama, by 20%+.
You say “lies”. What on earth do I have to gain? I’m a researcher. Genealogy, Biblical/Theological studies, Historical. I go to where the evidence leads me. If my mind has to be changed – like James Morris has helped me to form new views, then I evaluate, judge and change my mind. But see, people just keep blaming Trump. FOR EVERYTHING. When he is just doing it better and doing what he said he’d do, unlike the jokers from before him.
Hillary wanted a wall. (Dem) – Good for her. Obama wanted a wall and even voted for a wall. (Dem) – Good for him. Biden wanted a wall and even voted for a wall. (Dem) – Good for him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6denkE_Cxk&t=43s
Let me be more clear. Biden says that people coming across the border illegally are bringing tons, tons, tons of methamphetamines to cocaine to heroin. Does that mean that Biden says all Mexicans are drug pushers?
But then Trump wants a wall and actually builds a wall. (Ind/Rep) – Racist.
Absolutely Hypocrisy.
Obama had the cages built in 2014. Just go look. Illegal immigration was on the rise with
Just as many on average immigrant people coming in lawfully. Trump isn’t stopping people of different races and religions from coming to our country. Trump is on average, has welcomed immigrants in numbers similar to Obama – at about 1% of our total population allowed in, every 3 years. https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2019/table1
Trump completely disavowed hatred, bigotry and violence. But CNN didn’t show this. MSNBC didn’t show this. They only showed you the clip where he says – “there were good people on both sides.” Trump does and always has wanted equality for all people of all colors.
