You can be the most inept, incompetent,morally bankrupt terrible president, if not human being, to occupy the White House, and STILL be in a position to win the presidency if you can whip up racial fervor among certain groups of White people.

He's horrible by every measure, almost especially if you're a conservative. The *only* thing he offers is spreading his white supremacy b.s. on a daily basis.

Yes, the U.S. and the rest of the world has a problem with ethnic bigotry and we need to keep
working at it. Right now I think we can win out on that.

(2,636 posts)Despite 43 other presidents who were white, Trump ran specifically as "rich White Guy."
He's really our first white for the sake of white president. He had no policy. He has no platform. He was the butt of Obama's jokes at the correspondents dinner, and he ran as the anti Obama-not smart, not well educated, not articulate, unable to expound on anything but himself, not handsome, not a family man, not thoughtful, not able to do the job.
His only appeal is that he encourages and allows racism to flourish.
