24: Trump

The REAL purpose behind Trump's bigotry Why he just reposted a screed against Chinese and Indian immigrants .......... Trump wants to stir up America’s bigots to support his executive order against birthright citizenship, as the Supreme Court considers its constitutionality. ...............

(Hours before reposting Savage’s sewage, Trump posted disparaging remarks about the Supreme Court, singling out Justice Ketanji Jackson Brown as a “Low IQ person,” a critique he often directs toward Brown and Black people.)

.............. with his war in Iran going so badly that even his MAGA base is starting to unravel over it? (Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and other MAGA luminaries have recently broken with Trump over the war.) ................. Trump knows that the way to keep his base together — to stop it unraveling over his war in Iran — is to stoke fear of “them.” His MAGA base may not like never-ending wars in the Middle East, but they dislike immigrants of color even more. ...............

This is Trump’s M.O., friends. Every time he needs to strengthen his base, he feeds it more bigotry.

................ After the Justice Department released of millions of pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents in January and February, including thousands of references to Trump — which shook the MAGA base — what did Trump do? He re-posted a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. ......................... Following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law on November 19, 2025, what did Trump do? He described Somali immigrants living in the U.S. as “garbage” who “contribute nothing” to society. ............... Every instance of Trump reposting bigoted filth follows some potential crack in the MAGA base. Trump’s tried-and-true method of recharging the base is to give them some more reasons to fear “them.” ................. This was also the purpose of his executive order against birthright citizenship, which he signed on January 20, 2025, his first day in office. ............ Officially titled "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," its purpose wasn’t so much to get the Supreme Court to overturn birthright citizenship — highly unlikely, given the express language of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Its real purpose was to reassure his base, on his first day back in the White House, that he was on their side, and against “other,” whom he had spent almost his whole campaign demonizing.
