When I clicked back in the thread I all of a sudden felt frightened.
Then I realized a "scary white male" had just posted.

Funny thing is that Trump has a lot of Jewish connections. His son in law Jared Kushner is Jewish and Ivanka converted to Judaism too. Very ironic when his supporters turn to anti-semitism.
This is why the argument that he’s a white supremacist falls kind of flat.
Your reading comprehension skills are showing.
Having a lot of connections or even family members of a certain group bears litle relevance in any case on whether or not someone might have hateful views against that group more broadly.
Trump doesn't hate Jewish people though. He loves to pander to Zionists especially.Having a lot of connections or even family members of a certain group bears litle relevance in any case on whether or not someone might have hateful views against that group more broadly.
I will defer to you on white supremacy. You seem more knowledgeable than me on the subject.
C’mon bro, he specifically didn’t say white supremacy. Like for instance, a black kid growing up in private schools with whites may have predominantly white friends and professors he respects but could still hate white people as an aggregate because of all they’ve done to African Americans. Lets not be intellectually dishonest here.
If you recall, my post said that is why the argument that he is a white supremacist falls flat. It sounds like you are shifting the initial discussion.

Looks like Trump University owes you a refund for that Coal Slaw Degree.

Applies to hateful views in general really, that has to be judged based on their statements, actions and views. Having friends or relatives of that group is hardly relevant in any case.I will defer to you on white supremacy. You seem more knowledgeable than me on the subject.
No - I am merely stating that using the fact he has some amount of Jewish business partners and that his daughter married a Jewish man then converted to say the argument that he is a white supremacist is flimsy. Especially considering the mountains of arguments that would suggest that he is.
And at the same time he has given fiercer criticism towards black athletes peacefully protesting. He was fiercer in his criticism of Democrats who didn't applaud for his speech, calling them treasonous.I imagine you ignore the many times he has clearly condemned racism, white supremacists, and Neo-nazis.
He could very well be a white supremacist, I don't know him personally. But the fact that he considers Jared Kushner a trusted advisor would suggest that he is not.

I don't seem to recall him saying that "get that son of a ***** off the streets" to the white supremacist rallies or suggesting they should "maybe get out of the country."
Even Mueller and his lawyers have faced harsher criticism from Trump. Just this week he disparaged Mueller and his lawyers as "thugs" and "national disgrace".
Issuing a condemnation is a nice gesture and all but one has to wonder why he chooses to not unleash the same fury against that particular group that he has targeted on many other groups.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday night that the U.S. would slap a 25 percent tariff on cars coming from the European Union.
The president's statement came hours after The Wall Street Journal reported that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said he had postponed an August timeline to publish a report on auto tariffs.
"We're going to put a 25 percent tax on every car that comes into the United States from the European Union," Trump said at a campaign rally in West Virginia.
Ross told The Journal that it wasn't clear that a report on potential tariffs would come out by the end of August. The Commerce secretary also declined to set a new timeline, according to the newspaper. He said the report was being delayed because of ongoing negotiations with Mexico, Canada, and the European Commission.
Ross also said it was taking longer than anticipated to go through materials submitted by automakers, who are largely against tariffs that critics say would drive up costs to consumers and to their own supply chain.
The president has said he could impose tariffs of 20 to 25 percent on auto imports. In May, he asked the Commerce Department to examine whether such imports are threats to national security. He used a similar argument to put tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
A White House spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Statement just in from Trump's rally. Not sure what to make of it as Wilbur Ross just a few hours delayed a timeline to publish the Commerce Department's report on auto tariffs.
Could just be Trump up to his usual rambling at a rally.
