To illustrate this point, an aide for Garcia held up a map that had the words "murderers and rapists" written over Latin America, "s--t hole countries" written over Africa, "banned" written over the Middle East and "nice immigrants" written over Europe. These quotes are just part of a documented history of racist rhetoric by Trump. In 2017, Trump said that some of the people who attended the neo-Nazi "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville were "very fine people," and in 2019 he told four Democratic congresswomen of color to "go back" to their home countries, even though all of them are American citizens and three of them were born in the United States.

No wonder MAGA filth idolize this bigot.

One thing I've noticed as I have watched a sampling of his rally speeches and other comments ... fmr Pres Trump does not appear to scramble the words of his racist remarks, he seems to always articulate them clearly.

Trump also rose to prominence in American politics by pushing the racist "birther" conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama was ineligible to be president based on false claims about him being born in Kenya. ...
