Without racism there is no MAGA. Racism is the core value; the inspirational light. How they think they will get into Heaven.

AI Overview The core facts presented in the Willie Horton campaign were true, but the ads were criticized for omitting critical context and using racially charged imagery to mislead voters about the broader reality of the policy
The crime: William Horton (a convicted murderer) was indeed granted a weekend furlough from a Massachusetts prison while Michael Dukakis was governor.The offense: While on that furlough in 1987, Horton fled to Maryland, where he brutally assaulted a man and raped his fiance. These facts formed the factual basis of the political attack.

Just because the dems hated it did not change the facts.

He allows people to express their racism & bigotry in a way that they haven't been able to in quite a while and they really love him for that.

It's a shocking thing to realize people love their hatred more than they care about their own actual lives.

Trump Biographer Claims Prez Went Off On Secret Service After He Was Denied a Door Lock And Lost His Mind Over Changed Bedsheets... as Chaos Erupts At White House
radaronline.com

... Things are getting ugly at the White House, according to Donald Trump biographer Michael Wolff, and it's all due to door locks and bedroom sheets, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Wolff, known for the 2018 Trump-focused book Fire and Fury, claimed the president went off on his own security and staff after realizing things weren't up to par.

Why Did Trump Lose His Mind?

Making an appearance on the Inside Trump's Head podcast, Wolff claimed Trump had installed a lock on his bedroom door in the White House, despite the Secret Service not giving him the green light.

The disagreement led to a "confrontation," according to the author, who claimed the Secret Service "actually took [the lock] off, demanded that it be taken off."

Wolff also claimed another moment featured Trump going crazy after the White House's domestic staff changed his bedsheets.

He claimed Trump "had a fit. What that's about, I have no idea." ...


Such nonsense ...
