There’s no longer any doubt: Trump is a white supremacist

Imagine, if you will, that, as president, Barack Obama had tweeted out a video of a black couple brandishing guns at peaceful white protestors. Fox “News” would’ve been on the story for the rest of the Obama presidency, and perhaps rightfully so, as the president indicating support for violence against protestors would be a newsworthy event.

Yet in the era of Trump, such a story was buried, with few noticing that, on the heels of tweeting out a video of a supporter shouting “White power!,” Trump tweeted out another of a report from ABC News about a wealthy white couple, Mark and Patricia McCluskey, threatening BLM protestors — whose only weapons appear to be their phones and perhaps a bongo drum — with a handgun and an assault rifle. The McCloskeys, two lawyers who may themselves face legal questions, claim that they felt in danger for their lives. The video certainly doesn’t make it appear so, and why it was necessary for them to point guns at protestors rather than just hold on to them is a question I’d like to hear them answer.


But whatever the motives of the McCloskeys, the motive of the president in tweeting out (and later deleting) the video are abundantly clear: He is again fanning the flames of racial strife by suggesting that peaceful BLM marchers should be met with vigilante violence. Not too surprising, considering that he was fine with gassing protestors himself. He’ll condemn the BLM movement, it appears, much faster than he will alt-right neo-Nazis.

The reasonable among us knew that Trump was a white supremacist when he first proposed his travel ban on majority-Muslim countries. Or when he refused to acknowledge that the Central Park Five were innocent. Or when he called Haiti and other nations where people have darker skin “shithole countries” and asked his staff why immigrants couldn’t be more like people from Norway. Or…

Never mind. The list is endless.

The question isn’t any longer whether Trump is a white supremacist; that’s been proven again and again. The real worry is what he’ll do with far too many still supporting him despite his embrace of violence against those who disagree with him. Because we know that, although he’ll do practically nothing to protect the vulnerable, Dirty Donald will, of course, go to great lengths to protect himself and his own ego.

GOP leaders are not really behind Trump. We'll see as time goes on that they'll be less willing to defend him.
 
With regard to the McCloskey's, the DA / prosecutor there in St. Louis is so over her head trying to charge them with anything it isn't funny. First he's a very successful lawyer himself. He already has the sorts of lawyers and law firm that will eat her for lunch in court.

Second, he and his wife were well within their rights to keep an angry mob off their property. That same "peaceful mob" broke down a wrought iron gate and flooded into the McCloskey's backyard.

That is both breaking and entering and trespassing, in this case both felonies. That entitles the homeowner to use deadly force to protect their life and property from further destruction. Making it worse, no trespassing signs were up and out meaning the mob ignored those legal signs and were committing a crime by their mere presence.

Since neither of them pointed their weapon directly at a person in a way that shows intent to fire, it's going to be difficult to even bring a charge of felony threatening that will stick. Basically Ken and Barbie McCloskey aren't going to spend anytime in jail for defending their house, but the DA may very well face legal consequences if she stacks charges, or brings frivolous ones against them.
