8/20/19: Some days, it sucks to be Trump. In no special order, let’s consider the headaches he has faced in the last 24 hours.
Signs show the U.S. economy may be slowing. Trump and his
aides consider cuts in the payroll tax to goose consumer spending. This is
amusing, because we were assured that the Trump Tax Cuts, “the biggest tax cuts
ever,” were going to lead to robust economic growth.
Not all Trump fans are white supremacists; but white supremacists love Trump. |
0 Palestinians showed up for the conclave.
Trump also decides to insult American Jews (why not!), telling reporters, “I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.”
Disloyalty? To whom? Israel?
Trump?
American
Jews are Americans. They don’t have to be loyal to Israel. They can vote
for whomever they like. A quick check shows that 71% voted
for Hillary in 2016, only 24% for Trump. Those figures are almost identical to
the average in presidential elections since 1968.
Meanwhile, another quick check of records shows that Jared Kushner, given the task of coming up with a peace plan to bridge the Israeli-Palestinian divide, has so far not produced any peace plan at all.
Kushner did organize an economic conference in Bahrain in June. The proposal he put forward, boiled down, was essentially an attempt to pay off Palestinians so they would accept Israeli occupation of all their best remaining lands – by promising to invest billions in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Trump Tower Ramallah! Wouldn’t that be great!
In any case, that idea did not sell; in fact, 0 Palestinians showed up for the conclave in Bahrain.
That
matched the 0 Israelis who made the trip.

“I Thank God everyday President Donald John Trump is President.”
Eric Lin,
alleged neo-Nazi nut
____________________
As for American Jews and Trump, you can see why they might not be fans. On Tuesday, another neo-Nazi nut was arrested by the F.B.I.
As has often been the case, this neo-Nazi nut, a man named Eric Lin, 35, proved to be a big fan of President Trump. First, Lin allegedly checked the “anti-Hispanic” box, sending a threat to kill a female employee at a Miami restaurant. He said that it was his fondest dream to wipe out every Hispanic in the city.
Next,
we had some neo-Nazi love for the President of the United States. “I Thank God everyday President Donald John
Trump is President,” Lin allegedly wrote online, “and that he will launch a
Racial War and Crusade.” Trump, he added hopefully, would handle every
“dangerous non-White or Ethnically or Culturally Foreign group” like Hitler
handled the Jews and the gays and all the other groups he hated back in 1939.
In America, Lin predicted, these groups – which would, of course, include Jews
– would “either be sent to ‘Concentration Camps’ or dealt with Ruthlessly
and Vigorously [emphasis added] by the United States Military.”
Lin wasn’t the only alleged neo-Nazi nut arrested this week. Joseph Rubino, 57, a man previously known to authorities for kiting checks, is also likely headed for the slammer. A police investigation, launched after Rubino was involved in a car wreck, led to a search of his vehicle and apartment. That search turned up quite the stash.
As Reuters explains,
Law enforcement later found more
than 20 weapons including several assault rifles, pistols, and a grenade
launcher, as well as a ballistics vest, high capacity magazines, 70 grams of
methamphetamine and seven kilograms of marijuana in Rubino’s car and at his
home, prosecutors said.
Authorities
also said they found a box containing clothing and bumper stickers with white
supremacist and neo-Nazi symbols and racist propaganda, including a document
that appeared to be an instruction manual for owning a slave [emphasis
always added, unless otherwise noted].
Or, as Tucker Carlson said a few days ago (see: 8/6/19), white supremacy isn’t really a problem in America today.
It’s
a “liberal hoax” to say that it is.
For
more on Carlson, and the white supremacy hoax, see our post for 7/14/20. Blake Neff, the top writer for his show, is
exposed as (go figure) a white supremacist.
BLOGGER’S NOTE: Five months later, Eric Lin plead guilty to
making online threats and earned a five-year jail sentence.
A sampling of the kind of prose you might expect from this
Trump-loving douche comes in this threat:
“I’m coming to Rape and kill
you” and “I will stop at Nothing until you, your family, your friends, your
entire WORTHLESS LATIN RACE IS RACIALLY EXTERMINATED!”
Lin also admitted in
court that he discussed mass shootings of Hispanics and idolized Adolf Hitler.
Having admitted to
his crimes, in December 2019, Rubino is sentenced to five years and two months behind bars.
