Do people ever stop and think that what someone "reportedly" said is possibly inaccurate or even untrue? And that highly partisan sources might be skewing or spinning things? And it seems like this is all they can come up with considering how often it gets repeated.
Well the original source for Trump predominantly employing Haitians in his gold resorts (It's still unbelievable he calls them undesirables) is the New Yorker who quoted Dr Giovanni Peri, an economist at the University of California, Davis, who studies labor and immigration specialising in HB-2 and HB-1 visas. Pretty reliable source really.
On the other matter of Trump saying nice things about Asian immigrants - more specifically Japanese - he has shares in the Japanese stock market (despite his America first BS) according to Forbes...again fairly reliable source
https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonmoore ... 1c14ffc2c7I guess it doesn't matter how reliable the source of the information is, if someone just doesn't want to hear the content of the information. No matter what incontrovertible proof you put in front of them, it's all "hysterical lefties whining about Trump unfairly based on nothing" because they've already decided that's what it is and no actual evidence will factor into or sway their perception. Trump seems to have this effect on people's ability to think on a very large scale.
You mean, like a cult or something?
Trumpanzees;
Replace the word "supporters" with "haters" in this meme, and it would be equally correct.
Unfortunately, you are only focused on a small symptom of the problem. Partisan politics robs people of their critical thinking skills. You can spend all day bashing trump, but you are only bashing a symptom. You are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. The kind of rhetoric you are peddling is maintaining the political status quo, which gave us Trump.
