The Most Fascist Things Donald Trump Has Done; A Thread PART ONE!
"Fascism," if we could explain in a tweet = racism + ultra-nationalism + sexism + attacks on human rights, the media, & unions + obsessions w/ national security & law & order + near-religious fervor for charismatic leader + cronyism + corruption + election fraud. Trump& #39;s record:
1) 1973: The DOJ sues Trump for refusing to rent housing to black tenants & lying to applicants for housing if they& #39;re black. Trump is forced to sign a non-discrimination agreement 2 years later. https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history">https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25...
2) 1980s: “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor. It was the eighties, I was a teenager, but I remember it: They put us all in the back.” - Kip Brown, former Trump Castle employee https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history">https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25...
3) 1989: Trump calls for the death penalty in the Central Park 5 case, where racialized teenagers were wrongfully convicted of a brutal rape of a white jogger. Despite DNA evidence exonerating them, Trump said in 2016 that he still thinks they& #39;re guilty. https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history">https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25...
5) 2016: Donald Trump spends much of his election campaign denigrating & scapegoating Mexican migrants as drug smugglers, rapists, and gang members. https://www.vox.com/2015/7/8/8911467/donald-trump-immigrants-boycott">https://www.vox.com/2015/7/8/...
11) Trump consistently attacked NFL players exercising their 1st Amendment rights by taking a knee to protest police racism & brutality. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44232979">https://www.bbc.com/news/worl...
12) Claiming that Haitian immigrants "all have AIDs" & Nigerian immigrants won& #39;t "go back to their huts" after seeing America, Trump laments the lack of European immigrants, referring to Haiti & African nations as "shithole countries." https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/23/us/politics/trump-immigration.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/2...
16) One of Trump& #39;s favourite Islamophobic lies to repeat is that he personally witnesses Muslims cheering the WTC towers falling on 9/11. https://www.vox.com/2016/6/14/11931338/donald-trump-muslims-cheering-terrorism">https://www.vox.com/2016/6/14...
