Despite still having failed to deliver on his promise to deport the millions of Mexican invaders and build a southern border wall to prevent their return, I find it very hard to believe that President Trump was insincere in stressing the dire need for such changes, and simply did it to get elected. So one has to ask: why is he not doing more? Is he scared to act, or constantly being sabotaged without his even knowing? Or, on the other hand, is he just not in this all the way, and lacks the will to fight as hard as he would need to? Either way, it’s not good, but that’s different from “hopeless.”
I say that his support for deportations and the wall is sincere not just for all the obvious reasons, like the fact that he’s still tweeting about these issues to this day, but also because of lesser-known facts, such as the fact that in 2017 he gave what amounted to a White Nationalist rally in Poland. Those who are able to read between the lines know the real meaning of sentences such as these, especially when spoken to an all-White crowd in the whitest country in Europe, the first European country he delivered a speech to:
“Americans, Poles, and the nations of Europe value individual freedom and sovereignty. We must work together to confront forces [...] from the South or the East [...]
We write symphonies. We pursue innovation. We celebrate our ancient heroes, embrace our timeless traditions and customs, and always seek to explore and discover brand-new frontiers.
Despite every effort to transform you [...] you endured and overcame.
[...] it is the people, not the powerful, who have always formed the foundation of freedom and the cornerstone of our defense. The people have been that foundation here in Poland.
Just as Poland could not be broken, I declare today for the world to hear that the West will never, ever be broken. Our values will prevail. Our people will thrive. And our civilization will triumph.”
One could easily imagine these words coming from Richard Spencer. The fact that Trump “disavows” him conveys virtually zero information, since, if Trump shares his ideas and wants to make them national policy, then he has no choice but to play along. Let’s hope for a day when charades like these will no longer be necessary. (I hope everyone here has figured out what the “Muslim terrorism problem” is really code for ;)).
It’s also known that his father instructed him very early on about the importance of genetics, and about the falseness of our national dialogue which rejects such facts in favor of absurdities like “everyone of every race is equal”:
“The Frontline documentary The Choice, which premiered this week on PBS, reveals that Trump agrees with the dangerous and abusive theory of eugenics.
‘The family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development,’ D’Antonio says in the documentary. ‘They believe that there are superior people and that if you put together the genes of a superior woman and a superior man, you get a superior offspring.’”
Contrary to what he is allowed to claim, Trump *is* something very close to a White Nationalist and the Left is right to be terrified. He is far more radical than he can afford to present himself as to the public, and that’s a very good thing. It’s also good that he’s *not* being completely honest about his beliefs, because that just wouldn’t work, and this needs to work.
One fact that has always concerned me is that Trump was unwilling in the 2016 election to donate any significant portion of multi-billion dollar fortune toward his campaign, and apparently had to be coaxed into donating the small amount he did. Of course, it didn’t matter in the end, and perhaps the money wouldn’t have helped at all, and might have even turned voters off. But if this wasn’t a calculated move on Trump’s part, and he didn’t want to donate any of his riches because he’s just kind of a shitty person who would rather see the world burn than lose even a little of what constitutes his “identity”, I don’t know what to say. If he has even the faintest idea of what’s at stake, he’d know how silly that would be. So the question is: does he really get it?
