7/20/19: Donald R. Trump (we are giving him the honorary “R.” for Russia; but it could also be for “racist”) spends his morning tweeting, like any other 73-year-old with nothing better to do.
This time he’s retweeting posts from Katie Hopkins, a British woman known for racist rants. Naturally, she’s one of Trump’s biggest fans.
How racist is she?
Hopkins - probably trying to show how white she is! |

Trump’s not a racist? Then admit he’s a hater for sure.

Hopkins has described dark-skinned refugees coming to Europe as “cockroaches.” As for news that hundreds were drowning in the Mediterranean as they tried to cross to Europe, she responded, “No, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care.”
After a terror attack in Manchester in 2017, Hopkins responded to the very real horror by suggesting a far greater horror, a “Final Solution” for Muslims living in the U.K. It was no coincidence she used the same slogan Hitler used to describe liquidation of millions of Jews.
In 2018, Hopkins called a Twitter critic a
“jigaboo,” clinching her blue-ribbon racist
credentials.
Naturally, a racist is going to support a racist president, even though Hopkins insists Trump is not a racist. He has, instead, she claims, made 2020 a “binary choice.” It’s Trump. Or it’s those four congresswomen, all of whom just so happen to have dark skins. It’s Trump’s way. Or it’s socialism – higher taxes on billionaires – and the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.
Think Trump’s not a racist? Then admit he’s a hater for sure. The Know Nothing Party of the 1850s was made up of haters of immigrants. Hitler was a hater of Jews. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church hate LGBQT folks. Kim Jong-un is a hater of critics. Trump is a hater, too.
At heart, all haters are alike.
