XENOPHOBE: noun: One unduly afraid of what is foreign and especially of people of foreign origin.
It is unclear if Donald Trump is actually a raging xenophobe, or if he just sees the fear of all things foreign as a means to help him get back into power. Let's face it, we know, without a doubt, the man believes the end, at least his intended end, is justified by every means possible.
We also know once Don Trump finds a subject he believes works he is like a Tibetan Mastiff with a fresh bone. That dog isn't going to let it go no matter what. Such is the case with immigrants. Non-European immigrants in particular. You know, the ones who aren't, as Dr. Sheldon Cooper once put it, "whiter than marshmallows."
By now most people are familiar with the accusations that involve Haitians eating household pets and peaceful park loving ducks in Springfield, OH. There is confusion over the origins of that myth. Some say it sprang from a social media post from a Trump supporter saying the friend of a neighbor's daughter was convinced her pet was taken and eaten by immigrants. Another possible source was a second Trump fan who filed a police report saying her missing cat might have been catnapped, as it were, by Haitian neighbors. When the woman found the animal she called police, to tell them she was wrong, then, unlike her idol, walked next door and apologized for the accusation.
Whichever the case, Trump ran wild with the lie. He told one crowd that when he is elected he will send all those Haitians back to, Venezuela, (geography has never been the guy's strong suit) inspiring the cult to chant, "send them back, send them back." It seemed not to matter to anyone there most, if not all, the Haitians in Springfield are there legally.
Thanks to Donald Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, things spun out of control. Springfield's immigrant community was so inundated with credible threats of violence state police had to be dispatched to schools and neighborhoods to protect them and their kids.
The Trump and Vance barrage of bullshit became so overwhelming, members of the Haitian community filed a suit in court attempting to stop them. The action prompted republican Congressman Clay Higgins to write on social media, "Lol. These Haitians are wild, eating pets, vudu (sic) nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters...but, damned if they don't feel sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP. (the Congressman was referring to Trump and Vance, not Biden and Harris who actually are the President and VP.) All these thugs better get their minds right and their asses out of our country before January 20th."
Trump then moved on to Aurora, CO. He claimed an entire apartment building, or complex, or neighborhood had been completely overrun with Mexican, or Central American gangs. These gangs were so violent the entire town was quaking in fear and local police refused to enter the buildings, or areas, or someplace. The republican Mayor of Aurora told everyone who would listen Trump was lying, then he invited the GOP nominee to come to Aurora to see for himself. So far Trump has refused the offer. Perhaps it is because he doesn't like to be confronted by the truth, or, he simply doesn't want to go to Colorado because Lauren Boebert would insert herself into the picture. After all, while Trump likes to grab women by the crotch, he might be uncomfortable with Boebert latching onto his, as she is apt to do.
On Saturday Donald Trump was in Prairie du Chien, WI. He told the crowd, "Joe Biden became mentally impaired, Kamala Harris was born that way. She was born that way. And if you think about it , only a mentally disabled person could allow this to happen to our country. The, "this," he was talking about was immigration and immigrants. Then, Donald John Trump proved that taking it too far isn't far enough for him.
Speaking about illegal immigrants he told his supporters, "They will walk into your kitchen, they'll cut your throat. " He added, "Small towns in America are terrified of migrants coming in and, even when they haven't arrived, they're terrified. They will rape, pillage, thieve, plunder, and kill the people of the United States of America.'
Now that's how to scare white folks. Don't beat around the bush, throw the rubes straight into the middle of a Wes Cravens' horror movie. It makes that remark about migrants, "poisoning the blood of the nation," sound downright subtle.
Donald Trump isn't qualified intellectually, or emotionally to be the President of the United States. However, it does appear he would be a perfect fit to replace Moe Hailstone as Moronica's head of state.
Why not? As old Moe used to say, "Moronica for Morons!"
