     Never in my lifetime did I ever imagine that any president of the United States would incite racism, but that is exactly what Donald Trump has done, and if he continues to promote the ugliness of this vulgar hate, it will escalate to violence and could inflame his followers in to initiating America's second Civil War.

     It's bad enough when Trump allows for such insolent and abusive behavior to interrupt a campaign rally with blatant bigotry, but it's just as bad - if not worse - when he lies that he tried to stop the crowd's repulsive rants.  More on that later in this column.  It irks me to no end when Republicans on Capitol Hill - and those nationwide - defend Trump as not being a racist.  After all, it's Trump's fault that began his supporters - 

at a Greenville, North Carolina campaign rally on Wednesday, July 17th, 2019 - to shout out their atrocious language.  With his venomous rhetoric, Trump has set the tone throughout our country for the people of his base to explode with their latest form of incendiary expression..."Send her back."

         It's been said that Donald Trump stunned the nation when he viciously tweeted on Sunday, July 14th that four freshman Democratic Members of the U.S. House of Representatives - each of them women of color - should "go back" to the "crime infested places from which they came." But Trump is malicious when he wrongly attacks the quartet of first-term congresswomen and claim that they are not citizens of our country. Trump's un-American assault on Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of Michigan is so disturbing that his abominable action has incensed decent Americans from east to west, north to south.

     Self-identifying themselves as "The Squad," each of the four congresswomen are, in fact, U.S. citizens, and only Omar was born on foreign soil.  She came in to this world in October 1982 when her mother gave birth in Mogadishu.  However, Omar is a naturalized American citizen.  A Somali refugee, Omar reportedly moved to the United States in 1995 when she was about 12 and a half years old.  About five years later, in 2000, before she turned 18, Omar became an American citizen.

     Trump lied on Thursday, July 18th when he told reporters at The White House that he tried to stop the multitude of people at the Greenville rally from vocalizing their horrendous and heartless chant.  "I was not happy with it.  I disagreed with it." But the video of that night proves that Trump absolutely gave the callous crowd carte blanche to sing out their reprehensible refrain for thirteen seconds before he resumed his prepared speech.  Trump clearly appeared to pause and wait as he reveled in the sound of his base providing him with an oral stamp of approval.  By Friday, July 19th, Trump had flip-flopped from his answer to reporters the day before. Instead of being displeased with the chant, Trump described his North Carolina supporters as "incredible people" and "incredible patriots."  

     Trump began his tweet storm in retaliation to "The Squad's" criticism of his policies, especially Trump's immigration agenda and the horrid conditions at migrant detention centers.  "So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run.  Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."  On July 17th, Trump let it be known that he will employ similar tweets in the future, as such messages will be instrumental in his campaign strategy for 2020.  On Sunday, July 21st, Trump doubled-down and tweeted another harsh message.  "I don't believe the four Congresswomen are capable of loving our Country."
    

     More than two-thirds of Americans feel Trump's tweets, which targeted the four minority congresswomen, were offensive.  A USA TODAY/Ipsos poll indicates that 68 percent of registered voters marked Trump's actions with that brand, and 59 percent of those surveyed called Trump's tweets "un-American."  Nearly two-thirds of those polled - 65 percent - responded that Trump's phrase "go back" to the "places from which they came" is a racist remark.  However, when calculating feedback of just Republicans, 57 percent say they agree with the tweets.     

     Meanwhile, only 4 congressional Republicans jumped on the Democrats' bandwagon on Tuesday, July 16th when the House of Representatives voted to pass a resolution condemning Trump's comments as "racist." Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of California introduced the resolution and did not mince words.  "These comments from The White House are disgraceful and disgusting, and the comments are racist."

     It's appalling that there are so many Americans who will not denounce and castigate Trump for his social media messages.  But then, Trump is the poster boy of obscenities who empowers discrimination.  It boggles my mind that nearly 63 million voters overlooked Trump's prejudices and cast their ballots for him in the 2016 election.  

     Despite others being astounded by Trump's diabolical demeanor with his recent tweets, I am not at all shocked by his current cruelty.  Although he insists to not have "a racist bone in my body," (a tweet from July 16th), Trump has displayed for years that he is indeed racist and xenophobic.  I am, therefore, livid by his despicable diatribe towards any person of color - any non-white individual.  But Trump's racism began long before July 14th of this year.
  

     Trump has most likely been a private racist all his life.  But in my eyes - and in the eyes of most Americans - Trump mounted a platform of racism when he for years maintained that then-President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. It was in the spring of 2011 when Trump joined the so-called "birtherism" movement. Wrongfully, Trump questioned the validity of President Obama's birth certificate.  Mr. Obama was born in our 50th state of Hawaii.  But Trump argued that our 44th president's birthplace was in Kenya, Africa.  It wasn't until September 16th, 2016 that Trump publicly dropped his five-and-a-half-year conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in America.  Trump openly accepted that "President Barack Obama was born in the United States."  But Trump's acknowledgment was all political as he came forward 

53 days before the 2016 presidential election.  His Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, noted at the time that Trump "owes (President Obama) and the American people an apology."  The former Secretary of State was precise and concise that "(Trump) has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president.  (Trump's) campaign was founded on this outrageous lie."  To this day, Trump has never apologized to Mr. Obama for trying to tarnish his name and reputation.  Unbelievably, an NBC News/Survey Monkey poll from the summer of 2016 showed that 72 percent of registered Republicans doubted the citizenship of President Obama.

   

     Before he ever retreated from his "birtherism" crusade, Donald Trump elevated his racism to another loathsome level moments after he rode his Trump Tower escalator and traveled downstairs to a roomful of supporters and reporters to announce he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for president.  On that day in New York City - June 16th, 2015 - when he insulted our neighbors south of the border, Trump showed his true colors and proved to me, and no doubt tens of millions of other Americans, that he is a racist.  "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.  They're not sending you.  They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us.  They're bringing drugs.  They're bringing crime.  They're rapists." Trump went on to offend other non-whites.  "It's coming from more than Mexico.  It's coming from all over South and Latin America, and it's coming probably - probably - from the Middle East."  From there the issue of Trump's racism and xenophobia got even worse when Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering our country, and he pledged to build a wall on the U.S./Mexico border, a barrier I tagged four years ago as "The Wall Of Hate."  I wrote then, as I do today, and as I have written throughout the last two-and-a-half years of Trump's Oval Office occupancy, that there will never be a wall constructed across the 2,000 miles that separate the United States and Mexico. 

     The Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research confirm that more than half of our country think Trump is a racist.  Their poll concludes that 57 percent of all adults, including more than 80 percent of African-Americans, 75 percent of Latinos, and nearly 50 percent of Caucasians, believe Trump is a racist.  A whopping 85 percent of Democrats consider Trump to be a racist while only 21 percent of Republicans will label him with that moniker.

     There are numerous other examples of Trump's racism and xenophobia, over and above his mudslinging about President Obama's birth and his derogatory remarks towards Mexicans and others during his formal notice to the world that he was running for president.  This column will focus on just a handful of others.

     It's downright dreadful that so many Americans continue to lift Trump up on to his pedestal of profanity after his slur on January 11th, 2018 against Haiti, El Salvador, and the nations of the African continent.  "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"  There is no excuse to use such raunchy vocabulary about anybody's homeland.  The New York Times in 2017 reported that Trump - during a meeting with Cabinet officials and members of The White House staff - complained about admitting Haitians in to America because "they all had AIDS," and that if we let Nigerians in to our country they "would never go back to their huts."

    

     Following his recent tweets disparaging the four Democratic congresswomen, white supremacists have given Trump renewed support.  A neo-Nazi wrote on his organization's website, "This is the kind of WHITE NATIONALISM we elected him for," and Trump seems to be a-okay with white supremacists applauding him.  Chief White House Correspondent John Roberts of Fox News asked Trump on Monday, July 15th, "Does it concern you that many people saw that tweet as racist, and that white nationalist groups are finding common cause with you on that point?"  Trump's response was sleazy.  "It doesn't concern me because many people agree with me. And all I'm saying, they want to leave they can leave."  Trump continued, "If they're not happy with the United States, if they're doing nothing but criticizing us all the time... These are people that in my opinion hate our country.  They can leave. They have to love our country."  To another reporter, Trump answered, "I'm saying that they're socialists definitely.  As to whether or not they're communists, I would think they might be.  But this isn't what our country is about.  Nevertheless, they're free to leave if they want.  And if they want to leave, that's fine.  And if they want to stay, that's fine.  But the people have to know."
    

     Praising neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, and white supremacists is unforgivable. Trump can never walk back his detestable diction that there was "blame on both sides" of an August 2017 Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia that resulted in the violent death of 32-year old Heather Heyer who was killed when a neo-Nazi protester deliberately plowed his car in to the crowd of counter-protesters who were demonstrating against the white supremacist event. The rally was sparked by an April 2017 decision by the Charlottesville City Council to remove a Confederate statue of Robert E. Lee from Lee Park. There were 19 other counter-protesters who were injured by the vehicle ramming.  I am intentionally omitting the murderer's name from this column.  On July 15th, 2019, a judge sentenced him to life in prison plus 419 years without the possibility of parole.  He was also fined $480,000, which was recommended by a jury in the criminal case.  Donald Trump proclaimed there were "very fine people on both sides."  Unite The Right was organized by self-identified white supremacist, far-right racists.  There could never be "very fine people" among a white supremacist group.

     Racism is what Trump and any Republicans are practicing when they don't support DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).  The program was created in 2012 by President Obama.  It has provided protection to nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the United States when they were children. These kids, known as "Dreamers" and most of whom are now adults, were granted the temporary right to live, study and work in America.  But the majority of Dreamers hail from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.  As we know, those countries are not at all favorites of Donald Trump.

     Every single Dreamer should be awarded American citizenship.  Not temporary or even permanent residence status, but all law abiding Dreamers who have graduated high school (or who are still attending), or who have served in the U.S. military, deserve to be given full U.S. citizenship as taxpaying Americans.  After all, Politifact confirms that undocumented immigrants - and please don't call them "illegal aliens" - pay 12 billion dollars in taxes every year.

     The U.S. Supreme Court says that in its next term the justices will review Trump's decision to terminate DACA.  The program protects Dreamers from deportation.  Should the high court rule in Trump's favor, these innocent individuals - some of whom are friends of yours, neighbors of yours, co-workers of yours, and students in your local schools, will likely be hunted down by federal immigration agents and sent back to countries where they have no homes and no jobs. Dreamers were brought to the United States by their parents.  Some Dreamers came to the U.S. when they were so young that they probably have no memory of their birthplace.  It would be totally unfair and un-American to force people to leave who have lived in our country nearly all their lives and to transport them to foreign lands that mean little or nothing to them.  America is their country too.  America is their home.  Just as you and I, Dreamers bleed "red, white and blue."  So Dreamers, in essence, are Americans.  Our government needs to make it official.  It will be a miscarriage of justice if Dreamers are not given the right to stay in America forever as citizens.  To do anything differently would cause our Founding Fathers to roll over in their graves with agonizing revulsion.  

     Americans overwhelmingly oppose the deportation of Dreamers.  A poll by Politico and Morning Consult shows that 84 percent of Democrats, 74 percent of Independents, and 69 percent of Republicans support these immigrants being allowed to remain in our country, which is their country.  Only 24 percent of Republicans, 12 percent of Independents, and 8 percent of Democrats think that Dreamers should be given their national eviction notice.

     Dreamers are vital to our country in many ways.  They are an integral part of our economy.  Dreamers own companies and they give jobs to other Americans. Numerous Dreamers are true heroes.  They serve our nation in branches of our armed forces.  Some Dreamers help others as they are first responders.  Many Dreamers risked their own lives to rescue victims in Texas and Louisiana following the Hurricane Harvey catastrophe in August 2017.  No doubt there will be Dreamers who will do the same, if needed, should other disasters strike our country.

     America is a land made up of immigrants.  The rights of all people is the bedrock principle of our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and our Founders' "dream" come true.  So as with all born and naturalized American citizens, the rights of the Dreamers must be protected.  We are a nation that has always opened the doors and our hearts to people of all races, religions, and ethnic heritages.  We should not lock up or lock out any law abiding persons, no matter where they come from, and no matter how they got here.  We should not ever be a country that builds border walls or that incarcerates people in cages because they are seeking asylum. And we should never confine babies and other children in those cages or separate them from their mothers and/or fathers.  The welcome mat should be at our front door to immigrants from all nations.  
    

     Unless you're a descendant of Native Americans - such as people from the Algonquin, Iroquois, and Pueblo tribes, among other indigenous groups - then your personal family history is one that originated from countries other than America. Therefore, you are a descendant of immigrants.  That being said, Native Americans were not considered U.S. citizens until June 2nd, 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge signed in to law the Indian Citizenship Act.  How could Native Americans not be citizens when they were here first?  They were the original citizens.  But as late as 1948, Arizona and 

New Mexico had laws that prevented Native Americans from voting.  Until President Lyndon B. Johnson signed in to law the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Native Americans were tragically discriminated against, similar to African-Americans and certain other minorities.

   

     Donald Trump's racism also goes back to the days when he was a television producer.  Trump was hurtful to Alicia Machado - now an American citizen, but originally from Venezuela - who wore the crown of Miss Universe 1996.  The former beauty pageant winner says that in 1997, Trump - who, at the time, owned the Miss Universe and Miss U.S.A. pageants - harassed her over her weight after she put on a few pounds.  In a Hillary Clinton campaign video - which was posted on Twitter in September 2016 - Machado alleged that Trump characterized her as "ugly" and "fat," and that "sometimes" he'd address her as "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping." Machado and Secretary Clinton asserted that Trump dubbed the beauty queen "Miss Housekeeping" because she is Latina.  Painting Machado with that nickname is flagrant bigotry as it contends that women who are of Latin ethnicity are nothing but maids.  Trump nauseates me.

    

     Donald Trump doesn't care who his wicked racism harms.  In June 2016, Trump slammed a judge in a fraud case against Trump University and blasted the jurist as being a "hater."  Trump accused U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel from the Southern District of California of being unfair to him because His Honor is "Hispanic," because he is "Mexican," and because of Trump's desire to build a wall on the U.S./Mexico border.  Judge Curiel is an American citizen.  He was born in the United States, specifically in Indiana.  The judge attended law school at Indiana University.  Curiel is of Mexican heritage, but as I noted earlier, except for Native Americans, we are all of a foreign ancestry.

     Trump's racism is often embroiled with lies.  Trump was dead wrong when he beat up on Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez by claiming she referred to Americans as "garbage."  She did not.  At the North Carolina rally on July 17th, Trump put his audience in to a fierce frenzy when he falsely told them, "She described contemporary America" as "garbage."  Trump continued with, "That's you, that's me, that's all of us."  But that's not what Ocasio-Cortez said.  Going back to an event in March 2019, Ocasio-Cortez was asked why it had taken a long time for any Democratic candidate to run on bold progressive policies such as Medicare For All and The Green New Deal.  Ocasio-Cortez replied, "I think all of these things sound radical compared to where we are.  But where we are is not a good thing.  This idea of 10 percent better from garbage shouldn't be what we settle for."  I interpret her words by thinking she feels today's America - under Trump's and the Republican Senate's policies - is "garbage."  And she'd be right.  But Ocasio-Cortez did not call any American "garbage" - not even Donald Trump. 

     Trump also twisted the truth about what Congresswoman Omar tweeted in 2012. This was the tweet.  "Israel has hypnotized the world.  May Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."  But Trump lied when he told reporters on July 19th that Omar "can't talk about 'Evil Jews.'"  As a Jew myself - and one who, on a number of occasions, has experienced anti-Semitism first-hand - I do not believe that an individual's political or military opinions about Israel as a nation make someone anti-Semitic.  Omar explained to CNN, "I don't know how my comments would be offensive to Jewish Americans.  My comments precisely are addressing what was happening during the Gaza War, and I'm clearly speaking of the way the Israeli regime was conducting itself in that war."  Apparently, the word "hypnotize" is deemed by some Jews to be an anti-Semitic slur as they feel it implies that Israel has ambushed other countries of the world through trickery and deceit in order to get their support.  Omar stands firm and emphasizes that her tweet was inappropriate. After her CNN interview, Omar tweeted on January 22nd, 2019 "that my use of the word 'hypnotize' and the ugly sentiment it holds was offensive.  The statement came in the context of the Gaza War.  It's now apparent to me that I spent lots of energy putting my 2012 tweet in context and little energy in disavowing the anti-Semitic trope I unknowingly used, which is unfortunate and offensive."  Omar has stressed that her tweet was not directed at Jewish people.  "It is important to distinguish between criticizing a military action by a government and attacking a particular people of faith."  Whether anyone - be them Jewish or not - finds Omar's explanation acceptable or unacceptable, she did not in any way say "Evil Jews."  Omar may regret her use of the word "hypnotize," but since some Jews classify it as anti-Semitic, I would have liked to hear her speak the words, or write the words, "I'm sorry" or "I apologize."  Nowhere can I locate Omar using either of those two-word phrases in response to the aforementioned 2012 tweet.

     A formal apology did come from her for another of Omar's thoughts that she vows was unintentional.  When she replied to a tweet in February 2019 that pointed the 

finger at Omar for being critical of Israel, the congresswoman wrote, "It's all about the Benjamins baby," which refers to $100 bills with Benjamin Franklin's picture on them, and that's a stereotypical negative statement against Jews that we are money-grubbing people who would do anything to make or save a buck.  Not!  On February 11th, Omar tweeted sorrow for the anti-Semitic tweet. "Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes.  My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole.  We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack for my identity.  This is why I unequivocally apologize."

     When Congresswoman Omar - or anybody else - is critical of Israel as a nation, I don't judge those remarks as anti-Semitic.  I agree with Omar that "Being opposed to (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and the occupation (of the West Bank) is not the same as being anti-Semitic."

     I am not a fan of Omar.  She has made, at the very least, some questionable comments that whether she meant them to be anti-Semitic or not, the remarks have been received in that light.  If there is no malice, a comment can indeed be anti-Semitic.  But without malice, it can be forgiven.  My advice to Congresswoman Omar is to next time think before she speaks or tweets. I'd give the same counseling to Donald Trump, but he'd never listen.  Hopefully, Omar will.  And if she has doubts, Omar can even ask a Jewish colleague in Congress before expressing herself.  If she doesn't, my views won't be so kind and understanding in the future.

     All of the above being said, Congresswoman Omar does not deserve to be treated with hideous and disruptive chants of "Send Her Back."  It should never have been suggested by Trump that Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley, and Tlaib should take a hike and leave America.
    

     Former Vice President Joe Biden - who is seeking the 2020 Democratic nomination for president - communicated the following in a July 17th email.  "It's clear that Donald Trump is trying to divide us by race and gender.  It's immoral.  Our children are listening.  Donald Trump thinks that our nation's great diversity makes us weak - because he has no idea what makes us great.  Here's what has always made America great.  Honesty.  Decency.  Treating everyone with dignity. Demonizing no one - not the poor, the powerless, the immigrant, the other. Giving hate no safe harbor.  Understanding that, as Americans, we are part of something bigger than ourselves.  These Members of Congress - children of immigrants, just like so many of us - are an example of exactly what makes America great."

     Racism is rampant in our republic when there are so many Americans who are unwilling to condemn and chastise Trump for his repugnant rhetoric.  God help us if we sink back into a hell hole when blacks couldn't eat in the same restaurants as whites, and when public bathrooms were labeled by race.  God help us if we ever return to a time when Caucasians thought African-Americans were put on this Earth to be nothing but slaves.  God help us if the U.S. government were to discriminate against Hispanics, other Latinos, and anyone else from a minority race, ethnic group that isn't white, or non-Christian religion by not welcoming them to our shores. However, with Donald Trump, that's where our country is headed.  It is vital for Americans with a conscience to fight back against Trump's racism.

     Donald Trump is a hostile and vindictive vermin who thrives on being a heinous thug.  He is morally and mentally unfit to be president of the United States, and unless Republicans in the Senate come to their senses and join forces with the Democrats in the House of Representatives to impeach, convict, and remove Trump from office, it will be up to Americans on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 to not give him the opportunity to further his racist agenda and destroy our nation.

     Donald Trump obviously feels that if your skin is not lily white, and if you don't bow down to him and cheer him with accolades for everything he does, then you can get the hell out of our country.  That, though, is not what the United States of America is about.  But Trump's slogan, "Make America Great Again," is clandestine code for "Make America White Again."

     After reading this editorial, if you can still raise a glass to Donald Trump, I want you to ask yourself, "Am I a racist?"  If you can endorse a president whose actions and communications reflect those of what a racist is, are you not a racist too?  I will leave each of you to answer that question yourself.
    

     Donald Trump is an embarrassment to the United States.  He has brought shame to our country for 913 days and counting, as this column is published. Democrats and everyone else who oppose Trump need to speak up and speak out about his racism. Time and time again, Trump has crossed the line of decency, and yet Republicans in Congress - and throughout our country - continue to defend him. Trump's Twitter tirades echo his foul mouth and toxic tongue.  As the weeks, months and years go by, it has become more and more apparent that Donald Trump is no better than a white supremacist, no better than a Ku Klux Klansman.  I have to wonder if in private - does Trump dress up in a white robe and hood?

     And that's The Controversy for today.
