An explosive new report from The Washington Post, published on Wednesday, detailed President Donald Trump’s private conversations with White House aides and other administration officials.

In private, the report stated, Trump made racially-charged comments about Black Americans and pushed anti-Semitic tropes.

After phone calls with Jewish lawmakers, the commander-in-chief said that Jews “stick together” and “are only in it for themselves,” according to officials.

In the alleged remarks, he suggested that Jewish Americans are disloyal to the United States, promoting an anti-Semitic canard.

Trump has also made insensitive statements about African Americans, suggesting that they are to blame for racial inequality and structural racism, officials said.

1. So what?

The news is that they still worked for him ....

[C_U_L8R]

2. Just hit record on your iPhone, for crying out loud.

Tapes. We need tapes. Lordy.

[VarryOn]

14. It would totally be in his character to say this...

But I’m with you...video or audio or it didn’t happen.

[Mike 03]

3. Oh boy. On Morning Joe today Donnie Deutsche made an impassioned appeal to

fellow Jews who were voting for Trump, imploring them to recognize the signs of a fascist dictator, and even bringing up the Holocaust. Joe Scarborough pooh-pooed it, stepping on the emotional moment with a stupid joke.

This is pretty explosive, albeit unsurprising to people who have paid attention. He's made offensive and ignorant remarks on this subject before, questioning the loyalty of Jewish people.

[llashram]

45. Scarborough is a POS

2015-16 he wanted trump as potus. I will never ever believe a word from his lying crockpot of a mouth.

[jorgevlorgan]

4. Not sure how this is worse than constantly implying that if he loses, it is because of fraud.

and implying repeatedly he will try to get the election results thrown out if he loses.

[LymphocyteLover]

28. well, it's a different type of outrage... and there is a bad history on anti-Semitic sentiment

[hedda_foil]

5. When he talks to Republican Jewish groups, he always refers to Israel as "your" country.

That would directly relate to what he said above. He thinks Jewish Americans are loyal to Israel instead of the US.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

10. in another thread here today

it was said he didnt display outright antisemitism. i said that is because he thinks all bankers are jews.
but yeah, not true.

[PatSeg]

16. Also

He probably doesn't think there is anything wrong with what he said. To him, it is just a statement of fact, "Jews are _____, Blacks are ____, Mexicans are ____, Muslims are ____, etc." In his narrow world view, people fall into certain categories and he is just describing them. He rarely sees people as individuals. He also doesn't think there is anything wrong with lying or cheating, as long as you're winning.

That said, he knows that other people often think there is something wrong with the way he talks about people, but he appears quite comfortable with his take on people.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

21. yup.

i have a friend like that. makes me nuts, but at least he's not a hater. doesnt even hate ppl he ought to.

[PatSeg]

24. Yes, I've had friends who weren't haters,

but they had stereotypical views about different races or nationalities. When I explained it to them, they often could see they were mistaken. It is easy for people to become a product of the environment that they come from, but conscious people can move beyond that.

Allegations of racism have marked Trump’s presidency and become key issue as election nears

By Greg Miller

In unguarded moments with senior aides, President Trump has maintained that Black Americans have mainly themselves to blame in their struggle for equality, hindered more by lack of initiative than societal impediments, according to current and former U.S. officials. After phone calls with Jewish lawmakers, Trump has muttered that Jews “are only in it for themselves” and “stick together” in an ethnic allegiance that exceeds other loyalties, officials said.

Trump’s private musings about Hispanics match the vitriol he has displayed in public, and his antipathy to Africa is so ingrained that when first lady Melania Trump planned a 2018 trip to that continent he railed that he “could never understand why she would want to go there.” When challenged on these views by subordinates, Trump has invariably responded with indignation. “He would say, ‘No one loves Black people more than me,’ ” a former senior White House official said. The protests rang hollow because if the president were truly guided by such sentiments he “wouldn’t need to say it,” the official said. “You let your actions speak.” In Trump’s case, there is now a substantial record of his actions as president that have compounded the perceptions of racism created by his words.

Over 3½ years in office, he has presided over a sweeping U.S. government retreat from the front lines of civil rights, endangering decades of progress against voter suppression, housing discrimination and police misconduct. His immigration policies hark back to quota systems of the 1920s that were influenced by the junk science of eugenics, and have involved enforcement practices — including the separation of small children from their families — that seemed designed to maximize trauma on Hispanic migrants. With the election looming, the signaling behind even second-tier policy initiatives has been unambiguous.

After rolling back regulations designed to encourage affordable housing for minorities, Trump declared himself the champion of the “Suburban Lifestyle Dream.” He ordered aides to revamp racial sensitivity training at federal agencies so that it no longer refers to “White privilege.” In a speech at the National Archives on Thursday, Trump vowed to overhaul what children are taught in the nation’s schools — something only states have the power to do — while falsely claiming that students are being “fed lies about America being a wicked nation plagued by racism.” The America envisioned by these policies and pronouncements is one dedicated to preserving a racial hierarchy that can be seen in Trump’s own Cabinet and White House, both overwhelmingly white and among the least diverse in recent U.S. history.​

18. So Black people are hindered by a lack of initiative

not societal impediments? Unlike Trump who had the "initiative" to take $400 million from his father and go bankrupt 5 or 6 times? Donald is a real "pulled myself up by my bootstraps" kind of guy.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. The racist playbooks and tropes are readily available to be used

They have been around for hundreds of years, and certainly before anyone in his family got off the boat here.

[PatSeg]

20. Oh yes

I can remember hearing such crap when I was very young, but you hardly expect to hear it today from a public figure. Many might think it, but few would say it out loud. For some bizarre reason, Trump seems to think that no one will ever repeat the horrible crap he says. I honestly think he just can't help himself, it just comes rushing out of his mouth. Once he starts ranting, he often can't stop.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Well there were a few others in the GOP who thrived on it

like Steve King (Idiot-IA). Thankfully that one was finally shown the door.

As an "entertainer" (like most), he has one persona "in private" and the other "for the public". However when one starts mentally going downhill, the 2 personas start crossing and there is a tendency for stream-of-consciousness utterances.

[PatSeg]

25. I have no idea how someone like Steve King

lasted in office as long as he did. He was never subtle or tactful. It was like he had time traveled from the 1950s. I have to wonder if what he was thinking might have actually been worse than what he spoke out loud. Maybe we were getting the filtered version?

[BumRushDaShow]

32. I'm thinking that after Obama was elected in 2008, he decided to go full on with that trajectory

And when the racists were "given permission" to celebrate their white nationalist and nativist leanings after the 2016 election, he was free to just blurt out whatever he might have even said privately... and do so non-stop. He would have kept at it too if not for being primaried.

[PatSeg]

38. I do remember that racism

became more overt with some segments of society after Obama was elected and then with Trump, they let it all out. It was as if someone took off all the restraints.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

36. Nazis invented suburbs

He called them garden cities. Figures trump sees himself as the racial purity keeper of the suburbs.

[Judi Lynn]

39. Thanks for the excerpt, BumRushDaShow. 👋

[BumRushDaShow]

44. You are welcome!

[dalton99a]

7. Kushner, Miller, Mnuchin, Adelson, etc. are okay with it

[Behind the Aegis]

11. You left out Ben Carson or was he the "etc."?

[gopiscrap]

8. fuck trump what a pos

[Behind the Aegis]

9. A common theme of all stripes of bigots.

This is nothing new. Hell, as witnessed by other remarks, people are more upset by Jews/Blacks who are in his sphere of influence, then they are by the blatant bigotry of the POS sitting in the WH; but that attitude is also not uncommon.

[Firestorm49]

12. Aw nuts. I just wet my drawers in laughter.

President “of the people” - all the people, not just the wealthy people.

I guess not. What an ASS.

[DBoon]

15. Because he believes only his supporters are truly human

implied is that the rest of us are wild animals who should be shot on sight

[niyad]

13. What is new about his remarks on Jews? I could swear that was a momentary scandal earlier in cult45*

Reign of terror.

[maxsolomon]

17. "I didn't say that". End of story.

On to the next outrage.

[pazzyanne]

23. I though he supported Israel,

his daughter, son-in-law and children. Silly me!

[bucolic_frolic]

26. Totalitarianism on display

He's not going to change or back off. It's not the individual issues only, it's the sum of the issues and the pattern of behaviors. The whole GOP is going there. Voters would be wise to face up to it. And once they use right wingers to suppress the left, they'll turn on the right wingers too.

[heckles65]

27. I've said many times...

Conservatives like Israel because they like imperialism and domination of darker skinned peoples, which is what they see Israel as representing.

Not because they suddenly started liking Jews, because they haven't..

[TexasBushwhacker]

35. Evangelicals supoort Israel because it fulfills Biblical prophesy

[progressive nobody]

29. This is something Hitler would say.

[EarthFirst]

30. I'm positive he uses far more colorful language in close company... nt

[roamer65]

31. There's the anti-semitism.

Just like Hitler.

[Stuart G]

33. Outstanding Post...Thank You, just what is needed to get many people out to vote.

[Judi Lynn]

40. Those votes are needed, so much. Thank you, Stuart G.

[TNNurse]

34. Support Israel but not Jews.

Makes as much sense as everything else he does.

[Illumination]

37. A Russian traitor has the nerve to talk this way? THAT'S disloyalty to the U.S. a**hole!...

[Behind the Aegis]

41. Of course he does, because that is how his Russian masters think of Jews.

Check out "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion", free from the FBI.

[murielm99]

42. Jews "stick together."

I have heard that one since I was a little kid.

[Aussie105]

43. Agitate and deflect.

The usual Trump approach to making friends and influencing people.

Nothing new here. Old man shouting at the Moon.
