i love america. if you go to the vietnam memorial, you ll see a bunch of hispanic names, bunch of names of people who came from other countries and were willing to do what donald trump was too much of a coward to do. sacrifice and serve for this country and wear this country s uniform, risking their lives for it. donald trump is a nightmare, national embarrassment and a national nightmare that s going to pass some day. he has caused great damage to our reputation, to the presidency, certainly to the republican party. but at some point, we are going to get past this and we are going to remember the american values. what i implore people to do is not to get numbed to this, not to get used to this, to call it out every time they see it, even if we re doing it every single damn day. people cannot get tired of what the outrageous things this president does and says are. they cannot get tired of condemning racism.

committed such as rape and murder. then he said the crowds would roar when the criminals were thrown out of the country. as they did when he highlighted crimes by illegal immigrants at his rallies, according to a person present in the exchange and another briefed on it later. miller and kushner laughed. trump read aloud a few made-up hispanic names and described potential crimes they could have committed, such as rape and murder, then he said the crowds would roar. that is the president of the united states in the oval office producing the trump show. the trump show is why the president of the united states welcomes americans home from being imprisoned in north korea with talk of television ratings. i think you probably broke the all-time in history television rating for 3:00 in the morning. that i would say. the trump show is literally the president of the united states brainstorming about tanking the brand of america s
in the script. on this issue, the trump show script hasn t changed since he came down that escalator. they re bringing drugs, they re bringing crime, they re rapists. these aren t people. these are animals. when the ms-13 comes in, when the other gang members come into our country i referred to them as animals, and guess what, i always will. he enjoys a presumption of theatrical spontaneity from many who observe him. donald trump s demagoguery is scripted, calculated, and rehearsed, as in donald trump literally rehearses it in the white house. this from the washington post. in february 2017, trump huddled with senior adviser jared kushner and adviser steven milliner the oval office to talk immigration. trump reminded them that the crowds loved his rhetoric on immigrants along the campaign trail. acting as if he were at a rally, he then read allow a few made-up hispanic names and described potential crimes they could have
