What would Trump have done?

I watched the CNN series on the Kennedys yesterday which included the 1963 incident where Alabama governor Wallace tried to prevent the University of Alabama from admitting their first black students. President Kennedy ordered the national guard to be federalized and they ordered Wallace to step aside.

It is terrible that 55 years later we have a president who 57% of the country (including me) think is a racist.

What would Trump have done about Wallace?  He reminds me a lot more of the racist Wallace than he does of Kennedy.   He probably would have done nothing except defend states rights.  He would have said the people in Alabama opposed to integration included “very fine people”.

Sad!

Trump lies about rape of Central American women

Trump claimed that women in Central America are raped at unprecedented levels.

This is baseless nonsense and he supplied no supporting evidence.  He’s just trying to rile up the bigoted part of his base.  Of course, cowardly Republican leaders will say nothing and Democrats have no power.

Apparently, he was referring to the caravan but there is no truth to what he said.

Trump has fanned fear of undocumented immigrant crime since he began running but in fact, according to a 2015 study  “undocumented immigrants commit less crimes than the native born.”

It’s frightening.  Either Trump is a pathological liar or doesn’t know the difference between fact and fiction.  Sad!
