Drumpf Gets Asked If He's Proud White Students Are Telling Classmates They'll Get Deported

When He Wins

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/watch_trump_gets_asked_if_he_s_proud_white_school_kids_are_telling_classmates_they_ll_get_deported_when_he_wins

Donald Trump was asked Wednesday morning about the impact he's having on America's schoolchildren. Cokie Roberts, a veteran journalist who is a contributing senior news analyst for National Public Radio and a political commentator for ABC News, on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" asked the GOP frontrunner if he's proud of the racism he's injected into children.

Pointing to stories like one at Vice News last week, "White Students Keep Using Anti-Latino ‘Trump’ Chants at High School Basketball Games," Roberts told Trump:
"There've been incidents of children, of white children, pointing to their darker-skinned classmates and saying 'You'll be deported when Donald Trump is president.' There have been incidents of white kids at basketball games holding up signs to teams which have hispanic kids on them saying 'We're going to build a wall to keep you out.' Are you proud of that? Is that something you've done in American political and social discourse that you're proud of?"

Trump shot back immediately.
"Well, I think your question is a very nasty question. And I'm not proud of it because I didn't even hear of it, okay. And certainly don't like it at all when I hear about it. You're the first one that's told me about that. But I would not be proud of that at all."

Roberts notes these stories have "been reported in many newspapers."

It is like they are being physically attacked, their brains (we know this from research) react differently to criticism and bad news than ours.

The more extreme the narcissism, the more defensive and angry they are when called out for something.

Imagine that personality in charge of our nuclear weapons.

"I don't know anything about it."
At some point, that won't work.

Because they're too shit scared to tell him the effects his hatred is having.

He ends the clip with "I think we're being laughed at all over the world". It's his candidacy that was being laughed at; but the laughter is now very nervous, because the Republicans are really looking like they're going to nominate him, and we're realising they may somehow manage to win the general election (dirty tricks, a recession that hurts the incumbent party - who knows?), and that's no laughing matter.
