Seriously, how do you justify that? Would that black woman Amarosa support him if he were racist?
You disappoint me.

Happy to dissapoint
I always wondered where Trump got his JFK conspiracy theories.
I don't know what is wrong with doing business with the Soviet Union. Lots of countries did business with Cuba during the US embargo. But I suspect this guy is shady.
Trump Hires “Fixer” With Soviet Connections
by Cliff Kincaid on April 20, 2016
Donald J. Trump said it was a “great honor” to be complimented by Russia’s Vladimir Putin. What’s significant is what the New York businessman has done to earn this praise. He pursued deals in the old Soviet Union and Russia and, as a presidential candidate, has hired little-known “experts” like Carter Page, an adviser to Russian gas company Gazprom.
Another curious Trump hire is Republican insider Paul Manafort, a “fixer” who has a history of doing business in the former Soviet Union. After taking a job as Trump’s delegate hunter, Manafort swiftly accused Trump’s main opponent, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), of using Gestapo-like tactics in the presidential race.
But it’s Manafort who has something to explain and answer for. He did consulting work in Ukraine for the pro-Russian candidate, Victor Yanukovych. Manafort was called “Ukraine’s Fixer” when the country was under the yoke of Moscow, the Russians were desperate to remain in control, and the people of Ukraine were crying out for freedom and ties to the West.
Interestingly, Manafort’s former business partner is Roger Stone, a former adviser to Trump who now runs a pro-Trump Super PAC. He wrote a book, popular on Russian TV, insisting that President John F. Kennedy wasn’t killed by a communist conspiracy based in Moscow or Havana, but was murdered on orders from his vice-president, Lyndon B. Johnson.
The publication Politico reported that when Stone once tried to re-establish contact with Manafort, he sent out an email to a small group of friends asking, “Where is Paul Manafort?” and wondering if he had been seen “chauffeuring Yanukovych around Moscow.”
It’s funny, but may not have been that far off the mark...

The country had a democratically elected president who was deposed in a quasi-coup engineered by Washington and the Europeans. Russia was essentially supporting them financially. Now we get to, what a deal.
When is Trump racist? I don't see it. Racist as defined in the Liberalspeak dictionary is "anybody that wins an argument against a leftist", no? Our southern border is currently controlled by MS13. Trump wants it controlled by the US Government and that makes him a racist? To hell with all these bastards with their phony claims of racism. It's just a fact that Whites do far better than everybody else no matter where they go. Blacks have done a really shitty job with Africa and their areas of the US. It doesn't make me a racist to understand all that.
We have no growth because the tax supported public sector is actually larger than the private sector it has to tax to survive. The private sector can't do much while carrying this staggering weight on it's back and the public sector never, ever, could do much so add it all up and you have a stagnating mess. The public sector that has to borrow to pay it's minimum payments on it's huge debt that it can never pay certainly cannot lecture me on anything and expect me to do anything but laugh at them now can they? They are like the barefoot muzzies living in their dirt floor shacks with chickens and goats that want to lecture me on how to live. Seriously? I have to listen to shitty do-nothing people? I like to get my lessons from successful people, thank you very much.
That's right. The only way total automation can work is with a universal base income?
Print money. Hand it out. People don't work. Goods and services are produced. Producers are rewarded. It's a Utopiah. Entirely possible. Highly unlikely. That's a humanitarian ending. Our social rulers are anti-human.
Brilliant.
Trump attempts to put space between him and Clinton on real issues. First try:

CLAIM: "Now, because I have pointed out why [TPP] would be such a disastrous deal, she is pretending that she is against it. She has even deleted this record of total support from her book."
The facts: After Clinton walked back her support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership last October — saying the final deal wasn't what she'd hoped for when she advocated for it during negotiations as Secretary of State-- longer passages supporting the partnership were edited out of her book Hard Choice's paperback edition. The cuts were part of 96 pages of cuts made to account for the paperback's smaller size, according to a publisher's note. But not all of them were cut: there's still two pages praising the deal, or at least the idea of it. "It's safe to say that the TPP won't be perfect - no deal negotiated among a dozen countries ever will be - bit its higher standards, if implemented and enforced, should benefit American businesses and workers," she wrote.
Trump has adamantly opposed TPP since before his campaign began; there's no indication that his remarks changed her mind.
CLAIM: Hillary Clinton "is a world class liar"
The facts: According to PolitiFact, 59% of Trump's checked claims have been deemed false or "Pants on Fire" false, versus 12% for Clinton.
Donald Trump:
True: 2%
Mostly True: 7%
Half True: 15%
Mostly False: 17%
False: 40%
Pants on Fire: 19%
Hillary Clinton:
True: 23%
Mostly True: 28%
Half True: 21%
Mostly False: 15%
False: 11%
Pants on Fire: 1%
CLAIM: "It all started with her bad judgment in supporting the War in Iraq in the first place. Though I was not in government service, I was among the earliest to criticize the rush to war, and yes, even before the war ever started."
The facts: Politifact ranks this oft-repeated claim False. More: In September 2002, Trump said he supported the Iraq invasion during an interview with Howard Stern. Then, in September 2003 - several months after the invasion, he said "It wasn't a mistake to fight terrorism and fight it hard, and I guess maybe if I had to do it, I would have fought terrorism but not necessarily Iraq."
CLAIM: "Under her plan, we would admit hundreds of thousands of refugees from the most dangerous countries on Earth - with no way to screen who they are or what they believe."
The facts: A screening system is in place that usually takes about two years, according to federal authorities. More, from Politifact: "While there are concerns about information gaps, a system does exist and has existed since 1980. It involves multiple federal intelligence and security agencies as well as the United Nations. Refugee vetting typically takes one to two years and includes numerous rounds of security checks."
CLAIM: "She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund - doing favors for oppressive regimes, and many others, in exchange for cash."
The facts: Trump is citing the claim by "Clinton Cash" author Peter Schweizer, who alleged that Clinton took direct action to benefit a Clinton Foundation donor from sale of a uranium mining company. But as Schweizer told NBC's Savannah Guthrie in April 2015, he had not direct evidence of a quid-pro-quo. "No, we don't have direct evidence. But it warrants further investigation because, again, … this is part of the broader pattern. You either have to come to the conclusion that these are all coincidences or something else is afoot."
CLAIM: "If I am elected President, I will end the special-interest monopoly in Washington, D.C."
The facts: The person who is now leading Trump's campaign, Paul Manafort, is founder of the former lobbying/public affairs firm Davis Manafort. (Manafort also has deep ties to pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine.) What's more, Bloomberg News recently reported that Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner approached GOP megadonor Robert Mercer to establish an anti-Clinton Super PAC.

Seriously? Even her own supporters say she is an untrustworthy liar. They just don't care.
