Trump, in a hole, digs deeper into racial incitement

President Trump on Wednesday suggested that painting the words "Black Lives Matter" on New York City's Fifth Avenue would amount to a "symbol of hate," complaining that such an action would be "expensive" and "denigrating this luxury Avenue."

That came shortly after a threat by the president to veto the Pentagon's budget legislation should it include a measure to take the names of Confederate generals off military bases, which he denounced as being sponsored by "Elizabeth 'Pocahontas' Warren (of all people!)"

That came only hours after his declaration that he "may END" a federal housing regulation aimed at desegregating neighborhoods, which he claimed has had "a devastating impact" on America's suburbs.

And that came roughly a day after he re-tweeted a video of supporters in an almost entirely white Florida retirement community shouting "white power" from a golf cart.

racist heart. He's getting closer and closer everyday. It may not phase his base (they'll cheer) but the majority of Americans will feel disgust.

Blame me for jinxing, whatever. He's absolutely TOAST and I don't think he even cares at this point.
