Trump Suggests "Animals" are Despicable

[Airbrush]

This is how Trump explained the strange jacket Melania wore in his Tweet, when she went to visit the children (animals):

“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” written on the back of Melania’s jacket, refers to the Fake News Media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares!” Trump wrote.

Let's analyze this tweet.  Trump said it "refers to the Fake News Media."  So that can only mean, in my mind according to standard English usage, that Melania is saying: "Hello news media.  I really don't care about the migrant crisis on the border, do you?  (I'm just going through the motions for appearances)."  How could it mean anything else? 

Trump, however, is claiming it means "Hello news media.  I really don't care about YOU, do you?"  This makes no sense at all.  Of course the news media cares about itself.  The tweet can only mean what she does not care about the children (animals) in cages.  So, again, Trump twists himself into a pretzel trying to explain something, and failing miserably.

"Animals", "Bad Hombres", "MS 13", "criminals", and etc all mean the same thing; not white. On Fox and Friends they came real close to just saying as much flat out.

"Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade on Friday defended President Trump's "zero tolerance" approach to migrants who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border, saying "these aren't our kids" being detained separately while their parents face prosecution.

"Like it or not, these are not our kids," he said. "Show them compassion, but it's not like he's doing this to the people of Idaho or Texas. These are people from another country."

Idaho is one of the least populated states in the Country. It is also one of most white and conservative in the country.

Charlottesville has nothing on Coeur d'Alene.

The "animals" are making the private prison industry in the US a TON of money:

A February 2017 leaked Trump administration memo revealed the administration’s plan to more than double the number of immigration detention beds in the United States from 34,000 to 80,000. That was good news for for-profit prison companies, as reflected in their surging stock prices and the promise of future government contracts. But the lawsuits allege that these profits come on the backs of immigrant detainees held in forced labor. And forced labor, even in a detention center, is a crime.

A look back at just before World War II when 20,000 Americans gathered in Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism was recently published by Propublica. It shows how history may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.

It's only 7 minutes long:

In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York’s Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism – an event largely forgotten from American history. A NIGHT AT THE GARDEN, made entirely from archival footage filmed that night, transports audiences to this chilling gathering and shines a light on the power of demagoguery and anti-Semitism in the United States.

When you consider how many thousands of others likely agreed with those who arrived at the garden and just couldn't get there that day (couldn't find a babysitter, etc.), it really gives perspective.

Were American people aware of the horrors that Nazi Germany would inflict on Europe during the next 4 yrs ?
At the time they probably saw the Nazis as a counter to the spread of Communism from Russia into Europe.

Segregation existed here in the U.S. for another 20yrs after the end of WW2.  Is it really so hard to believe there were at least ten of thousands of bigoted individuals in the U.S. who embarrassed the anti-Semitic and pro-Aryan rhetoric?

The bigger idea here is how many parallels there are to current rallies and rhetoric.
