There’s one thing I disagree with in the op-ed: [Our President Wants to Put up a “No Vacancies” Sign for Non-White Immigrants](https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/04/16/our_president_wants_to_put_up_a_no_vacancies_sign_for_non-white_immigrants_140064.html) > [@](#): > > On almost any issue you can think of, Trump is all over the map. But there is one position on which he has never wavered: antipathy toward non-white immigration. From his campaign charge that Mexican immigrants are “rapists,” to his fruitless quest to get funding for a border wall, to his gratuitously cruel policy of family separations, to his declaration of a national emergency, Trump has left not an iota of doubt about how he feels. > > … > > Does Trump seek political gain by stoking white Americans’ fears of the “browning” of America due to Latino immigration? Absolutely. But if his racism were purely situational – like his professed commitment to fiscal responsibility, or his supposed social conservatism – he would depart from it occasionally. And he doesn’t. One other thing in which Trump has never wavered is his obsequious belly-baring to Vladimir Putin. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > Dang, I believe you’ve unlocked the secret of Trump. It’s blindingly clear that he’s an avid adherent of rules 1, 6, 10, 16, 19, 27, 48, 52, 82, 141, 144, 181, 211, 239, 261 and 266.

And he’ll add his trademark Plausible Deniability bullshit (such as his classic ‘many people are saying’). That way, Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Execrable Enablers can pretend nothing improper has occurred. ---

Agreed with the other posters on 255. I’m highly tempted to refer our beloved President as “Grand Nagus Trump” from now on. ---

True, he was a great general in the military sense. So were (off the top of my head) Erwin Rommel, Yamashita Tomoyuki, and Võ Nguyên Giáp. Gee, what do all these have in common? ---

Great generals that used their gifts to attack the United States of America. I’m sure Trump thinks Lee was a great patriot. Which, oddly enough, seems to be a common delusion of Americans that attack the federal government. ---
