In a desperate attempt to rally his white nationalist base, the president of the United States has declared that he will do away with Birthright Citizenship here in the United States by way of an Executive Order. Think about that for a minute. What this man is saying is that he will do away with a very important part of the 14th Amendment of our Constitution because he fears those brown people marching through Central America are coming to get "us".Mr. trump, in order to do that, would have to amend the Constitution. Make no mistake, he does not have the authority to do that. Yes, his racist base would love nothing more than to chip away at that pesky 14th Amendment which gave citizenship to slaves, but they can't. Not yet. It doesn't mean that he and his pals won't try. In a pathetic attempt to suck up to his golf buddy, Lindsey Graham is already talking about introducing legislation to amend the Constitution to do away with Birthright Citizenship. That too will not happen, because he needs three thirds of the House and the Senate to do that. Only your typical Cult 45 member would believe such crap.
But I suppose that desperate times calls for desperate measures. The white nationalist who support trump couldn't be happier with their friend in the White House. He has done all that he can ---short of actually coming out and saying that he is a white nationalist--- to show them that he supports them. His whistling has gotten louder and louder. Recently he called the African American mayor of Tallahassee, Andrew Gillum, a "thief", and he continues to question the intelligence of Maxine Waters. He did so again recently to his crowd of supporters. Throw in the fact that he is actually sending troops to the US border to stop the "invasion" of the brown women and children coming here to change the makeup of America, and there is no escaping that we have a White Nationalist in Chief running things..
Today Mr. trump was in Pittsburgh. He was supposed to be comforting the families and congregation of those 11 people who lost their lives on behalf of the rest of us. But he clearly was not wanted. There were so many passionate protesters against his visit, that his handlers had to change his route when he left the Synagogue.
I can't say that I blame the citizens of Pittsburgh, though. He should not have gone. Local officials begged him to postpone the trip, but he refused to do that, because....well, it's all about him. His presence created a logistical nightmare for local authorities, and his visit took away from the families of those people who were mourning the loss of their loved ones.
But this is where we are in America. A white nationalist president creates a climate of hatred that contributes to the slaughter of 11 Jews worshiping in their house of worship, and the same white nationalist president sees it fit to visit their funeral.
"You know, they have a word. It sort of became old-fashioned. It's called a 'nationalist.' And I say, really, we're not supposed to use that word." But then he did: "You know what I am? I'm a nationalist, OK? I'm a nationalist."
Mr. trump, you left out the word white.
