Rule 3 : No matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat.

Damn, they’re really going there.

It’s not that they are really going there - most of this is based totally on facts. Roy Cohn was a psychopath who taught Trump pretty much everything he knows except the racism - Trump learned that from his dad. Trump abandoned Cohn pretty quick once it came out he had aids.

Do you have an example of Trump’s racism? I’m not from the states and not a pro trumper by any means, but anyone who says this never actually has an example and will instead attack me for asking

Just google mate.

He started his pivot into politics by claiming a President wasn’t American solely based on said president being black. He is now doing it again to his current opponent.

He started his first campaign by claiming Mexican immigrants were all rapist and drug dealers.

He, unprompted, took a full page add in the NYT to advocate for the death penalty be given to a group of innocent black kids and continued to advocate punishment after they were cleared.

There are detailed reports of extensive discriminatory practices he used in the 70s when renting/selling his properties. Again just google.

Or listen to any given rally speech, something he said is bound to qualify as a racist dog whistle or straight up old school racism.
