The problem is not what he started, even though it’s bad enough. It’s the fact that there’s nothing to show for it. Heck, it’s gotten worse, a lot worse.

Your politicians DON'T support choice. They support authoritarianism on this issue.
Banning vaccines isn't choice.

So you do allow parents to make a choice on vaccines, but you don't allow them to make a choice if they provide them with puberty blockers? Explain to me why that's not hypocrisy.

Worse than a murderer: a mass-murderer of children.

Of the 441 mass shootings in the United States, between 1966-2022, 54.1%
of perpetrators were white.
Most of the murders in your country are still committed by white people.
In 2023, 8,842 murderers in the United States were white, while 6,405 were black.
A further 461 murderers were of another race.

Non-Hispanic Whites are 57.7% of the US population.
That's only a tiny percentage difference between population and murder percentages.

There is definitely an over-representation of black men in the murder statistics. I'm sure you think that's because they're black. However, if you look closer to those statistics, there is a high significance between poverty and criminal behavior, especially in relation with black murderers.

Black Americans are disproportionately represented in the lower-income brackets. About 30% to 35% of Black households fall into lower-income categories (working-class or below the poverty line).
White Americans: Around 20% to 25% of White households are in similar lower-income categories.
19.5% of Black individuals in the U.S. live in poverty.
10.1% of White individuals live in poverty.

Fix poverty, and you mostly fix violent crime and murder.

Ridiculous? Trump has been advertising racist views for decades.

On Racism and Housing Discrimination (1973): "You know, I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks." — Trump made this statement in 1973 during an interview regarding the U.S. government’s lawsuit against him and his company for allegedly discriminating against Black renters.

On African American Culture (1980s): "I think the problem with blacks is they don’t have enough people that look like me, that have made it, to give them a sense of possibility." — In an interview in the 1980s, Trump suggested that Black Americans lacked successful role models in society who could inspire them to succeed, while also implying that his own success was a model for others, while he was born into a wealthy family.

On Black People (1989): "Black guys counting my money! I hate it." — In a 1989 interview with New York Magazine, Trump said this while discussing a deal involving his casinos.

On Central Park Five (1989): "I don’t believe that you should ever, under any circumstances, apologize for the crime. They should never have been released from prison. I think the police and the people that worked on the case should be proud of themselves."
— Trump took out full-page ads in New York newspapers calling for the execution of five Black teenagers wrongfully convicted of raping a white woman in Central Park.
He never apologized after they were exonerated.

On Black People and Crime (1989): "The blacks are the only ones who get in trouble. White people never do." — A quote from the late 1980s, where Trump allegedly expressed a belief that Black people were more prone to criminal behavior than whites. You can give me statistics, but he said "only" and "never".

On the 1990s (1991): "I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle, Black guys counting my money. I hate it." — Another instance of racially insensitive comments that Trump made during the early 90s.

On African Americans and Wealth (1991): "Look, I’m the first to say it. The black community hasn’t done well, and that’s unfortunate. But look at all the people in jail. There’s a reason. Look at the people who don’t have jobs. They just haven’t worked hard enough." — Trump was quoted making these comments in 1991, reinforcing the stereotype that the lack of success in the Black community was due to a lack of effort.

On Racial Segregation in His Casinos (1992): "I am the king of New York. And I will not tolerate black people running things in my hotels." — In 1992, there were accusations that Trump had segregated hotel staff and kept African Americans out of certain positions. This comment was reportedly made to a Black worker at one of his properties.

On the ‘Birther Movement’ (2011): "I’m starting to think that he was born in Kenya. I am starting to think it’s true. I just don’t know." — Although this was after Obama’s presidency, it’s still worth noting that Trump’s promotion of the birther conspiracy theory implied that Obama was not a legitimate American, casting doubt on his background because of his race.

On Obama's Birth Certificate (2011): "If you don’t have a birth certificate, you’re not going to be able to run for president. I want to see if it’s real. There are a lot of questions, and I think there are a lot of people who are very interested in it." — Trump repeatedly cast doubt on Obama's legitimacy as president, questioning the authenticity of his birth certificate and reinforcing the idea that Obama wasn’t a "true" American, due to his race and background.

On Obama's "Chicago Background" (2011): "I think that he’s a guy who doesn’t understand America. He’s from a completely different background." — Trump claimed that Obama's background, including his upbringing and Kenyan heritage, made him somehow "foreign" or disconnected from American values.

On Obama's Education (2011): "I have great respect for Barack Obama, but I will say this: He’s probably one of the least educated presidents we’ve ever had." — Trump often implied that Obama was less capable or less intelligent, suggesting that his educational background (which includes a degree from Harvard Law School) was somehow inferior or suspect due to his race. Barack Obama’s academic credentials, particularly his graduate law degree and his leadership role at Harvard Law Review, make him more highly educated in a traditional academic sense than Donald Trump. Trump's education, while strong in business, does not involve graduate-level academic training in the same way.

On Immigration (2015): "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." — Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants when he announced his presidential campaign in 2015.

On a Judge of Mexican Descent (2016): "We’re building a wall. You know, the wall is going to be built. And they’re going to pay for it. Believe me, they’re going to pay for it. And I will tell you this, and you know this better than anyone, I have had tremendous success in winning cases against people of Mexican descent. Tremendous success." — Trump made these comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who was overseeing a case related to Trump University. He suggested the judge was biased because of his Mexican heritage.

On African American Communities (2016): "What the hell do you have to lose? Look, I’m going to fix it. I’m going to fix it. What the hell do you have to lose? You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs." — Trump’s comments to African American communities, which many felt perpetuated negative stereotypes.

On African Americans (2016): "Look at my African American over here. Look at him." — Trump made this comment at a campaign rally in 2016 while pointing to a Black man in the crowd, which many critics deemed patronizing.

On African Americans in General (2016): "Look, the African American community has been so great to me. I’m getting so much support from them, from the African American community." — This quote, from a 2016 rally, was seen by many as an attempt to pander to African American voters without offering real policies.

Charlottesville (2017): "You also had people that were very fine people, on both sides." — After the violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump faced criticism for stating that there were "very fine people" among both the white supremacists and the counter-protesters, suggesting equivalence between them.

On Congresswomen of Color (2019): "Go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came." — Trump made these remarks about four Democratic congresswomen of color (Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib), all of whom were U.S. citizens. This sparked widespread accusations of racism and xenophobia.

On African American Voters (2019): "What the hell do you have to lose?" — During a rally, Trump addressed African American voters with this comment, suggesting that Black Americans had nothing to lose by voting for him. Critics saw it as an oversimplification of racial issues and a stereotypical view of Black Americans.

On Native Americans (2020): "Pocahontas, they always want me to apologize for saying Pocahontas." — Trump continued to use the term "Pocahontas" to refer to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, despite Warren's self-identification as having Native American ancestry. Many criticized him for using this as an insult, considering it racially derogatory.

On African Americans and the Economy (2020): "I think that people like me, that people who love me, are the ones who have been with me from the beginning. I’m telling you, I have done more for the Black community than anybody." — Trump made this claim in 2020, suggesting that his administration had done more for Black Americans than anyone else, despite widespread criticisms of his policies and his failure to address systemic racial issues.

On Immigrants from Haiti and Africa (2021): "We don’t want people from Haiti. We don’t want people from Africa. We want people from places like Norway."
This remark was allegedly made during a private meeting with lawmakers in 2021, as reported by various sources, and it continued the same racist sentiment Trump expressed about immigration from certain countries during his presidency.

On the 2020 Election and Black Voters (2021): "They say we lost the election. Well, how come all of a sudden, in places like Detroit, they came up with all the votes for Biden? Where’s the honesty in that?" Trump continued to spread unfounded conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, including his claims about Black-majority cities (such as Detroit) and the votes counted there, reinforcing stereotypes about voter fraud in African American communities.

On "Critical Race Theory" (2021): "Critical Race Theory is a disaster. It’s a cancer in our schools. It’s un-American, it’s racist, it’s horrible, it teaches children to hate each other." Trump condemned "Critical Race Theory" (CRT) in his rhetoric, framing it as a tool that promotes division and "hatred" between races, despite CRT being an academic framework that analyzes the intersection of race and law.

On Immigrants from "Shithole Countries" (2021): "I still don’t want people from shithole countries coming here. I’m not changing my stance." Although this is a repeat of the controversial comments Trump made in 2018 about immigrants from Haiti and African countries, he reportedly reaffirmed this racist language in private conversations in 2021.

On the Capitol Riot (2021): "These are great people. These are people who love this country. These are people who are patriots. They’re just a little misguided." Following the January 6th Capitol insurrection, Trump made statements that many interpreted as excusing the violent, mostly white nationalist crowd, downplaying the racism involved and suggesting that their actions were driven by love for America.

On the Black Lives Matter Movement (2021): "Black Lives Matter is a Marxist group. It’s anti-American. It’s bad for our country." Trump continued to make disparaging remarks about the Black Lives Matter movement in 2021, claiming it was a Marxist and anti-American organization. His language played into fears about racial justice movements, undermining their legitimacy.

On Voter ID and Minorities (2022): "Voter ID is a very big deal. I want to make sure that we get the right people voting. A lot of people say that minorities can’t get IDs, but that’s not true." Trump's statements continued to perpetuate the idea that minorities are less capable of obtaining identification, an argument often used to oppose voter ID laws that disproportionately affect Black and Latino communities.

On Chinese Americans and COVID-19 (2021): "I don’t think China should be running our country. They’ve got all these people working in the White House, don’t they?" Trump made derogatory remarks about Chinese Americans and the involvement of Chinese nationals in various sectors, again fueling the idea of racial or ethnic "otherness" in relation to American politics and business.

On Immigrants and Border Control (2022): "We’re going to build the wall again. We’ll get rid of all the people coming in from the southern border who are criminals and drug dealers. They’re ALL bad people." Trump continued his rhetoric about immigrants, particularly from Latin America, as "bad people" associated with crime and drugs, perpetuating harmful stereotypes about people of Latin American descent.

On "The Squad" (2021): "The Squad is a disaster for the country. They hate America. They hate Israel. They want to destroy this country. They’re all radical left." Trump continued his attacks on progressive congresswomen of color, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley, labeling them as "radical" and accusing them of hating America, which critics saw as a racially charged attack on these women, all of whom are people of color.

On “Woke” Culture (2022): "Woke culture is a disaster. It’s destroying our country. We have to stop it." Trump's criticism of "woke" culture often included racial overtones, as it commonly involves calls for racial justice, inclusion, and awareness. He has positioned "wokeness" as a threat to American values, often without addressing the legitimate issues it seeks to confront.

On Immigrants (rally in New Hampshire, 2024): "16 million people.... They are Poisoning the Blood of Our Country". Language that is often employed by White supremacists, nativists, which is related to quotes from Adolf Hitler, who spoke of impure Jewish blood “poisoning” Aryan German blood, in his manifesto “Mein Kampf”.

On Ilegal Immigrants (rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina 2024): Undocumented immigrants who commit murder have “bad genes,” in the latest example of the former president using dehumanizing rhetoric as he tries to stoke fears about those in the country illegally.

About Haitian immigrants (2018 ): During a meeting about immigration reform, Donald Trump allegedly made a racist remark about Haitians, suggesting that they were "bringing all their problems" to the United States, and later adding that Haitians "eat dogs." This remark was reportedly made during a meeting with lawmakers about immigration policy and was part of a broader comment that immigrants from certain countries, including Haiti, were undesirable. The comment about Haitians eating dogs was widely condemned as racist and xenophobic. It was seen as a derogatory stereotype aimed at dehumanizing Haitian immigrants. Trump denied making the specific comment about eating dogs, but the report was confirmed by several individuals who were present at the meeting.

About Haitian immigrants (2024): "In Springfield, they are eating dogs, cats, pets of people who live there" The claims began with a local Facebook group post claiming a local cat had been butchered, and spread quickly among far-right and neo-Nazi groups. Several more videos were circulating, which were all debunked as evidence for Haitian immigrants eating pets. Springfield Police investigations commander Mike Kranz told Forbes there have been “no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.”
