'Trump has never once discriminated' Cons demand blacks & Muslims apologize to the president

Minorities in America owe President Donald Trump an apology — and even thanks — according to a new column posted on Newsmax.

The apologies were demanded by former Trump campaign advisor Jeff Ballaborn, writing with Bruce Abramson for the website owned by Trump confidante Christopher Ruddy.

“The leadership of America’s Jewish community owes President Trump — and America’s Jews — an apology,” they wrote. “In a world of rationality and justice, American Jews would be grateful to President Trump.”
-------------
“The leadership of America’s Black community owes President Trump and African Americans a similar apology,” they wrote. “In a world of rationality and justice, African Americans would be grateful.”
-------------
“The leadership of America’s Muslim community also owes President Trump and Muslim Americans an apology,” they continued. “In a world of rationality and justice, American Muslims would be grateful.”
-------------
“Still, it’s unfair to single out America’s Jewish, Black, or Muslim leadership. The leadership of American immigrant, LGBT, Asian, and feminist communities have been little better,” they argued.

“President Trump has never once discriminated among Americans,” they concluded.

How is it possible to believe the opposite of the blindingly obvious truth? Who can you argue with people who are so rational in their irrationality?

When you exclude people it limits the number of marks you can swindle. There are always plenty of like minded bigots willing to do dirty work and are not constrained by working a con.

Because, that is what they are: Cult members who worship Dear Leader Trump.

Fox
Limbaugh
Drudge
Hewitt
Levin
The rest of rightwing propaganda radio


If that’s the only media you consume you don’t think that trump is a racist, because the evidence of his racism is suppressed and not discussed. Meanwhile the propaganda networks find and amplify the much much fewer sporadic cases when someone who happens to be on the left is a racist.

Simple. Propaganda works. Until we stop the propaganda we won’t fix this country.

Can Newsmax point me to the supposed leadership of the named communities?
