57. You have good genes, you know that right?” Trump said to the nearly all-white mostly Scandanavian/German crowd. “A lot of it is about the genes, isn’t it? Don’t you believe? The racehorse theory,” Trump said. “You think we’re so different? You have good genes in Minnesota.”
58.He explicitly mentioned Minnesota as if people from other states don't have good genes.
59. He did praise Minnesotans for their "hard work and grit" but it isn't surely a coincidence that he praises only the most Nordic crowd for their genes while he has never said the same to other whites or more diverse crowds
60. Also we have seen how Trump often uses much milder language to criticize white supremacists as compared to calling ANTIFA dogs and animals and what not when..
61. ..Based on a CSIS data set of 893 terrorist incidents in the United States between January 1994 & May 2020 "In analyzing fatalities from terrorist attacks, religious terrorism has killed the largest number of individuals—3,086 people—primarily due to the attacks on September.
62. ..11, 2001, which caused 2,977 deaths. In comparison, right-wing terrorist attacks caused 335 fatalities, left-wing attacks caused 22 deaths, and ethno-nationalist terrorists caused 5 deaths."
63. Another indirect report citing CSIS data source says that there have been zero deaths linked to Antifa, with no deaths linked to anti-fascism since 1994, in contrast to 329 people killed by American white supremacists or other right-wing extremists during the same period

Source 2: theguardian.com/world/2020/jul…
64. Note that ANTIFA is just one section of the left. So none of the 22 deaths motivated by left-wing ideology were connected with ANTIFA
65. UPDATE: Antifa NOW DOES HAVE 1 DEATH under its name, counting the death of Danielson But that is still 335 TIMES less THAN THE NUMBER OF PPL White supremacists have killed
66. Also not to forget Trump's relations with Russia, a country that is helping far-right groups to rise in Western Europe
67.Now some of you might be confused given Trump is pro-Israel. But most don’t know that it was Kushner who did all the work to make the deals. It wasn’t Trump.
68. And interestingly, Trump foolishly went on camera admitting that the deal was specially made for WHITE EVANGELICALS. I think this was an attempt to assure his racist white base that he wasn’t pro-Jew or pro-Israel.
69. But it didn’t work as the video never went mainstream and it was part of the reason why he lost the vote of many of his racist white voters. This is the video that never saw the light of the day.
70. (I think this might be a product of over-thinking and that Trump might really could’ve done it just for the evangelicals)
71. And he said with his mouth
“And we moved the capital of Israel to Jerusalem. That’s for the evangelicals.”
In a rally in front of the press
“And we moved the capital of Israel to Jerusalem. That’s for the evangelicals.”
In a rally in front of the press
72. I'll not include Trump's comments on Mexicans as they were largely a product of xenophobia rather than racist thinking
73. ok SO THe actual tape of trump admitting the truth is this
