Everyone wants positive so here. Trump fired back at the racism charges hard.

Quote
...."There's nobody that's done so much for equality as I have. You take a look at Palm Beach Florida, I built the Mar a Lago club, totally open to everybody. A club that frankly set a new standard in clubs and a new standard in Palm Beach. And I've gotten great credit for it," Trump said. "That is totally open to everybody."....

I honestly, hand on heart, believe that Trump is no overt racist, and no more racist than most in the less obvious sense of the word racist, despite his sometimes reprehensible phrasing.

He wouldn't be, it's bad business and bad for business.

I agree with you on that! I would also add that he is no Republican!

Reprehensible phrasing?

He disavowed Duke on Friday then, after getting pushback from his twitter followers,  equivocated on Sunday about both Duke AND the KKK.

If he's not racist, he sure wants that racist vote and will compromise himself to get it.

Trump is a calculating, conniving, scheming, unctuous pr*ck. 

That being said, It wouldn't surprise me if he let it "Air Out" on the line on purpose to see which way the wind would blow, rather than walk it back on the spot.

I agree with that. He made it known with his very, very strong example that his elite golf club ($120K membership application fee, $30K/year dues) is open to anyone. Amazing. He is right, no one, every, ever, ever has done so much for equality as Our DonaldTM.

Nobody's done more for equality than the guy who felt the need to say that the judge who ruled against him is Hispanic

There’s nobody that has done more for equality Than Me.

Nobody Reads Bible More Than Me

Nobody builds walls better Than Me

There is nobody on this stage that has done more for Israel than I Have

I will be the greatest jobs president that God every created.

If it wasn’t for Me, we wouldn’t even be discussing immigration.



NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER

1.     An exaggerated sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
 A sense of one’s own importance, a grandiose feeling that one is alone responsible for any achievement is a hallmark of the narcissist. Grandiosity is one of the central tenets of a narcissistic personality. Narcissists tend to take credit for everything, as if no one else contributed to the end product.
A nation that turns away from prayer will ultimately find itself in desperate need of it. :Jonathan Cahn
