Trump Uses the 'N-Word' americanthinker.com/articles/2018/…
Trump's finally done it. He's confirmed what many have suspected all along. In front of tens of thousands with microphones listening and cameras watching, he came right out and said it. On national television, he broke the taboo. He used the "N-word."
In an op-ed filled with bare-knuckled truths, a most shocking source for conservatives to cite as a voice of political reason, Piers Morgan, made an astute observation in the U.K. Daily Mail when he typed the following about our media:
"the US mainstream media has become the boy that cried wolf. Their constant collective outrage over every tiny thing Trump says, tweets or does – much of it driven by commercial self-interest – has had the inevitable effect of diluting the impact of that outrage.
Case in point: The media and blogosphere are at it again, completely aghast, firing off tweets and typing columns with fists of fury over Trump's use of the "N-word."
In a speech at a rally for Ted Cruz last week, President Trump said, "You know, they have a word – it's sort of became old-fashioned – it's called a nationalist. "
"And I say, really, we're not supposed to use that word? You know what I am? I'm a nationalist, okay? I'm a nationalist. Nationalist. Nothing wrong. Use that word. Use that word."
You would have thought he'd called for the passage of a federal law mandating the public lynching of every black man pulled over for speeding.
From the obscure far-left websites like Crooks and Liars, which declared, "I think it's fair to say that we can finally start calling Trump's MAGA rallies what they really are: White Nationalist Rallies..."
"... especially after Trump came clean and admits he is a (White) Nationalist, while seconds earlier bashing the Globalists (Jews)," to more prominent national brands.
.@USAToday, chose to publish this third-party tweet: "Trump's 'I'm a Nationalist' comment will likely represent the biggest boon for white supremacist recruitment since the film Birth of a Nation glorified the Klan in 1915 and gained the KKK 4 million members by 1925,"
The theme is the same: he finally came out and said it. What we've known all along. He's a white supremacist, and this was a (not so) thinly veiled call to his Aryan brethren.
What Trump said was, "I'm a nationalist." What they heard was, "I'm a white nationalist."
For those who listened to the full speech, the "I'm a nationalist" portion makes sense and is perfectly consistent with what Trump was explaining at the time. Full context requires listening from 20:50 to 24:40 out of the entire 77 minutes.
Trump said, "I told all of the European nations, 'It's not fair'; we have all these horrible trade imbalances. They take such advantage[.] ... [T]hey're not taking advantage anymore, folks."
"Under Republican leadership, America is winning again. America is respected again because we are putting America first. We're putting America first; it hasn't happened in a lot of decades. We're taking care of ourselves for a change, folks."
