Trump biographer: He believes in 'genetic superiority' and does not 'respect most people'

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/444078-trump-biographer-he-believes-in-genetic-superiority-and-does-not


A biographer of President Trump's said Wednesday night that Trump doesn't hold the separation of powers in high regard because he believes in "genetic superiority."

"The president’s father would repeat to him when he was growing up, ‘You're a killer, you're a king.' So this idea of some people being elevated, some people being above all others, in this case above the law, I don’t think is foreign to him," Michael D'Antonio said on "CNN Tonight with Don Lemon." "I think it feels natural. He’s someone who believes in genetic superiority. He told me, 'I don’t respect most people because they’re not worthy of respect.'"

D'Antonio, a CNN contributor who wrote the book "The Truth About Trump," concluded by asking, "Why would he would respect the separation of powers, checks and balances, any system that is inconvenient for him?"

He needs to be shamed and ridiculed 24 hours a day. No one should give anything he says any credit.

Because Putin’s people denigrated President Obama with racial tropes.



“Putin and his inner circle had nothing but utter contempt for Obama and his administration — much of it cast in racist terms,” Isikoff and Corn write in “Russian Roulette: : The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump.”

No wonder the Bankrupt Unstable Moron won’t mention what they talk about.

He thinks he is genetically superior? He looks more like a product of inbreeding and not so bright....who doesn’t know you can unfurl an umbrella easily? He is a not too smart son of a Rich Guy who has managed to go bankrupt multiple times with Daddy’s cash.

He is kind of like a more mean and evil version of Cousin Eddie from “Vacation”.

That entire family is genetically inferior. They are stupid, they are hideous, they have no talent except for the ability to lie, cheat and grift. How can he possibly believe this unless he was a total mental case? Not one of them has one redeeming quality of note.

I can't get my mind around the high regard they have for themselves without a single reason for it.

I bet any money he was looking at Burke's Peerage to find a suitable spouse, high % of royal bloodline, whose family was in dire financial straits. That's Mary Macleod.

Also, no doubt he was a Bund member.

I have no proof of either allegation, not too hard to see both are true though.
