BTW, race and countries are two different things.
You do realize that Russians are a race, they are of the Slavic or Eastern European race.
When Trump claims he wants to sends people back he is showing he is a racist.

There are three distinct races and a mess of sub races, mixed races etc.

The term "send them back" which Trump has used many times is in violation of the EEOC employment laws.

Exactly. Same as it would be discriminating against someone who has a disability.

Again, when did he mention anyone's race? I'll bet you would like to see Trump go back to where he came from.
I bet most of the nation would be glad to pay for that. 😁

15,000 Americans died so GOP governors could stick it to Obama.

Trump fell short of 3 percent GDP goal in 2018, revised figures show

https://thehill.com/policy/finance/454878-trump-failed-to-hit-3-percent-growth-in-2018-data-revisions

And with an extra Trillion or so added to the debt. Of course he'll lie about it but his supporters won't care.

Trump's core followers are essentially dumbasses who live in an alternate reality where the truth is what Trump says it and facts have no bearing. Fact-checking everything he says is a smart person's game, it simply doesn't work when you're dealing with brain-dead morons.

Be nice if it could be explained away in that manner however there are also a number of more educated trumpanzees.
What we have here is a cult. This cult primed it's members with 30 years of right wing propaganda via fox news and AM radio.

I know a former mayor of my town and his wife, a respected older couple with a disabled son who is dependent on the social safety net. They have always been moderate republicans up until about 10 years ago when they both took a hard right turn into la-la land. This coincided with their retirements and their new habit of watching fox news near every waking hour of the day.

Not long ago my elderly mother, a stanch Democrat and retired professional, spent a day at their home and phoned me that evening to ask if she should be fortifying her doors against the migrant caravan. --We live in WV.  Just six hours of fox news playing in the back round did that, made her worry that a tidal wave of Central Americans was going to sweep over the USA like a zombie horde.

It's a cult, it programs it's victims just as any other evil cult does.

True that.  Rush/FOX has broken up many friendships and families over the years and gone a long way towards making certain among us much too mean. Also correct on retirement, many formerly dependent on unions or state/municipal jobs for life suddenly hate such.

Here's glimpse of a 100,000 person plus retirement community with it's own radio, TV and newspaper

Yep, in the villages the right wing bubble finds physical form.
Someone figured out that a lot of old folks are both lonely and scared, then found a way to both profit on that and use it for recruiting more cult members.

Lonely and scared, hilarious.

There are a few bone heads in the Villages.

When one can be prosecuted for thought and desire, you should be scared.  Maybe there's a Volksgerichtshof in the future.
