Trump's racism was on parade again today.

It seems that Bahamians have long been permitted to travel to The United States with a valid Bahamian passport and documentation that they do not have a police record. Until today. Until Donald J. Trump was the president and had a say in it.

Trump is a despicable racist. He sees people with brown or black skin and he sees criminals. He sees drug dealers and gang members. Other men, decent men, would see victims of a hurricane. Other men would see a wave of humanity seeking to escape a ravaged island. Other men would see parents trying to get their babies to safety. But Trump sees only the racist tropes and stereotypes that exist in his warped head.

Would he welcome their people or turn them away?

You get only one guess.

Their ancestors were Norse and Gaelic.

Greenland is another story. Nearly 90% of the population is Inuit. Trump would certainly have a problem with them!

Realistically the Icelanders would head for Norway and the Greenlanders for Denmark, but you get my point.

by Norwegians and their Irish thralls. The language hasn't changed much since then (it sounds like a Klingon trying to speak Norwegian).
