NYT Officially Designates Trump A Racist, People Yawn

DC: The New York Times wants to make it official: President Donald Trump is a racist.

On Friday, the editorial board of America’s most influential paper asserted there was no doubt of that.

The editorial was in response to Trump reportedly asking why America takes in so many immigrants from “shithole” countries instead of places like Norway. “Where to begin?” the Times’ editorial board collectively sighed when reflecting on Trump’s statement. “How about with a simple observation: The president of the United States is a racist.”

It’s not a rare occurrence for liberal pundits to call the president of the United States a racist, but it is certainly an event to see The New York Times make it their editorial stance that Trump is a certified bigot.

And the paper only doubled down on its claim against Trump in the ensuing days.

On Sunday, Times columnist Charles Blow added his own opinion on Trump’s bigotry in an op-ed with the unsubtle title, “Trump Is a Racist. Period.”

On Monday, the paper of record published in its opinion section “Donald Trump’s Racism: The Definitive List,” a lengthy article that cataloged all of the president’s alleged acts of prejudice throughout his long life. From the business practices in his early days doing real estate to his comments on immigration during the 2016 campaign, The Times’ article tried to definitively argue Trump was a racist.  read more

  1. Desperation, folks. They have NOTHING other than this to convince people.

    It ain’t working.

    They’ll now have to try an assassination to get their way.

    Pray for his safety.

  2. Their goal is to encourage another assasination attempt.

    They’ve already been responsible for the attempted murders of Steve Scalise and Rand Paul.

    They are stoking a Civil War.

    At some point in the future, historians will stroke their chins and ask, “if you could go back in time and murder the NYT editorial board in their Califonia Kings within this multimillion dollar brownstones, would you?”

    Shoot a few of them and see if that tones down their eliminationist rhetoric.

  3. Wow, that’s so sad. But, at least we got that established to scientific certitude. Now we don’t have to spend three more years repeating it. So until Donald Trump is no longer The President of The United States, remind everyone that repeats “He’s racist” that they’re just proving, scientifically, that they’re autistic (and might want to have someone prescribe something for that).

  4. Yeah well the state media has been basically calling all right of center Republicans racists and every other -ist and -phobe word in the book for the past 30 years. It’s laughable that the NYT is calling him something they have all been saying publically since he announced he was running as a Republican.

    Fox News can put a headline on its website proclaiming the Editor of the NY Times is a “Slimy Little Communist Shit Twinkle Toes Cocksucker” (quote from Full Metal Jacket) and we’d all let out a collective yawn too. Tell us something we don’t already know.

  5. Asses. What is an assembly of asses?
    An Assimilation?
    I almost killed my Parrot, Damocles by putting the gray lady down for him to crap on. He almost died of Constipation.
    He said it would be giving that worthless rag a purpose in this world, so he declined.

    A splash of bleach’ll learn them Ebola. Just like a few dabs of alcohol taught small pox who not to try’n kill.

  7. They and Twitter are normalizing death threats all day long.

    Anecdotally, I work with black people who feel yhat Trump is out to get them.

    Why, whatever do you mean I ask.

    Is he sending out death squads? Lawyers? What exactly?

    Some nebulous foreboding that Jim Crow is always in the wings. Jim Crow is the new Emmanuel Goldstein.

  8. Hilarious in 2018 to put the “influential” and “newspaper” in the same sentence.

    Shrinking leader in a dying industry.
    NYT has much in common with Sears Roebuck.

    One day a Chinese tabloid conglomerate will buy NYT Inc. in bankruptcy for debts plus a dl

  9. Gee, it wasn’t that long ago (a week or two) that the new publisher (A.G. Sulsberger the son of the old publisher who continued the family tradition of taking a huge salary while the paper struggles then selling a big piece to a Mexican Telecom giant (Carlos Slim who made his money off Obama’s phone program and graft/bribery in his own country now owns 17% of the paper) stated that while the NYT stories were somewhat left of centre he’d make sure they were brought back to fair even reporting. I wonder what his salary is.

  10. Thanks to the Democrat sycophants during the Obama administration, the term “racist” means nothing anymore. All white males were racist. Black Republicans were racists (and Uncle Toms). Anyone who criticized Obama, regardless of race, creed or color, was a racist.

    The left has tried to cover up its failures with insults. People who have been to Haiti know it’s a shithole, but to call it what it is is racist. To acknowledge urban slums is racist. People in favor of a rational and enforced immigration policy instead of open borders are racist. Policing ghetto areas, or failing to police ghetto areas (the cops can’t win) is racist. To disagree with any of Maxine Water’s insane utterances is racist.

    In Washington, D.C. and in some (but not all) urban areas, politicians may cringe at being called racists. But for most people, the term means nothing anymore and people recognize the insult for what it is – an attempt to stifle debate or direct attention away from failed policies. Taking the sting out of being called a racist is perhaps one of the few good things to come out of the Obama years.
