Ali Velshi looks at Donald Trump's latest campaign pitch, a not so thinly veiled racist appeal based on suburban "property values" and low-income housing that recalls Trump's history of being sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination in the conduct of his real estate business. Aired on 7/29/2020.

Trump Drops Subtlety In Racist Pitch To Protect 'Suburbs' | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Did you saw him at John Lewis’s funeral ? Did he comment anything about civil rights ? That man was what Lewis was fighting against
Has he addressed the families of covid19 DEATHS. Any comfort, or reassurance to those families, or to America????? No, no, and no. And he won’t. He keeps stuffing his pockets with taxpayers money, and funneling money into his pockets while we’re dying. HE IS A ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER, AND COVERT NARCISSIST, AND THROW IN DUNNING KRUGER EFFECT. That’s why we’re here. 150,000 + deaths and nothing from the orange clown.
@tracy bird nope..but he spoke with Herman cains family..as he should have. it was his stupid Oklahoma rally where Mr Cain caught covid..not trumps fault.. but of course per Donald n team..masks are strongly DIScouraged in his circle..yet hmmmm..wonder y so many positives at the white house?
The Sharpie-Hitler-Finger mustache got it!
Woo Cain See, all Dems can do is toss out Ad hominem attacks & sophomoric insults. Never any facts or ability to debate their positions. We are dealing with infantile adult participation trophy winners.
Mr. ” I don’t have a racist bone in my body. ” How do you like him now?!
Well, certainly not a bone in his spine as he is spineless.
I love him. decent blacks don’t want to live in the ghettos either. TRUMP 2020
You’re probably a racist if someone like David Duke starts praising you.
David Duke, the former Klan leader, who participated in the Charlottesville rally, called it a “turning point” for his own movement, which seeks to “fulfill the promises of Donald Trump.”
Trump has made it abundantly clear that he is a devout racist. Racist to the point of pathological obsession in fact. Trump is actually offended that anyone would even suggest that he’s NOT a racist. Notice how he never seems to be offended by being called a racist. Whenever he makes racist comments, he doesn’t take them back, he doubles down on them.
@Noneshere Key word WAS. The KKK has been comfortably in the Republican party for 50 years.
Noneshere operative word here is “was”… things have changed in the past 160 years
@Noneshere Welcome to 2020.
@Noneshere There are no KKK democrats….they are all Republican and Trump people
@Noneshere WAS, PLURAL!
Vote. If long lines, stay and Vote. If broken glass, crawl over it and Vote.
@Agolf Twittler Where you at you Biden ©o©k $u©ker ????
Agolf Twittler Is it the tens of thousands homeless in the streets of Once beautiful cities like San Francisco ,completely destroyed by democrats that attracts you ? Is it the rioting going on in democrat cities like Seattle,Portland or st.paul that attracts you to the democrat party ? Maybe it’s the 60 or 70 kids that get killed every single weekend in democrat cities like Chicago, Detroit or Baltimore that attracts you to the democrat party ? Maybe it’s Biden himself that was sending kids to die in wars while sending his kid to Ukraine to become a millionaire that attracts you.Please we can’t handle another democrat hit job ,just because people still are buying their “hope and change” campaign slogans.They pray on the mentally challenged people like yourself who follow the Hollywood crowd ,they must be hip right ? I hate to tell you buddy your not going to be invited to George Clooney’s donation party.Your just going to put someone else in the human waste filled streets or get another black kid killed but hey your cool right ?
Kasun Mendis apparently Biden has been waiting for 50 yrs for some miracle to come along.He finally has an excuse to not come out of his basement and answer questions.I think he’s going to find out how many Black people aren’t Black…lol
@John Carter yeah… & it’s look like that I am not Black either….
If Biden wins the democrats will start outsourcing tech jobs again! You people are fcking nuts to vote for Biden. You really are sheep to believe the plandemic. It’s H1N1 for real. Shame on the higher ups at the Pentagon and shame on Mattes, Dempsey and the rest. The whole country suffers because of your insane hate Trump mentality!
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
The orange doesn’t fall far from the apple tree ?
@Peters Peters Do you have a side?
Think its more apt that the apple doesn’t fall far for the orange…
@Yo Mama NO.😷
@Peters Peters Stay safe
The rich white privilleged bubble that donny grew up seeing was never the real America.
He and the gop are dreaming of a “great” past that never existed and is even more out of touch with the present day.
@Albin M _”All human beings should not be respected equally but judged.”_
*I never said that, nor was that my insinuation.*
This is why talking with you snowflakes is impossible, because all you do is intentionally misrepresent the views of your opponents. You just seem really bothered that the data clearly shows low-income housing areas to be higher in crime. Section 8 housing has historically ruined once-flourishing neigjborhoods. I’m stating facts, and you’re just blowing into a Kleenex. I have no shame in saying I don’t want to live next to low-income housing, and many other people of all races agree with me. Nothing racist about it. It’s not racist to want to reduce your odds of living around crime. It’s called “probability theory”, and humans use it to survive. It’s a product of biological evolution.
@Dennis O’Rourke why do you think you’re doing anything different than what you’re accusing me of?
@Albin M Are you serious? Was I the only one in this conversation? Because _I’m_ the one stating my views on this in an explicitly clear manner, saying nothing false or unverifiable. And _you’re_ the one giving false summaries of my statements. That’s how.
@Dennis O’Rourke When you don’t have an argument to put forward just call someone criticizing you ‘snowflake’.
#Irony
@T Electronix Did you even _read_ the comment exchange leading up to that? Are you _that_ dense?? I gave an explicitly clear, detailed argument. Then Albin M intentionally misrepresented my argument, and I checked him on it. When he intentionally misrepresented me *AGAIN*, I then said “that’s why arguing with you snowflakes is impossible, because you intentionally misrepresent the viewpoints of your opponents”. Go ahead and identify the exact moment when I failed to articulate my argument, dipsh!t. You might have to take a reading comprehension class…
If Trump is re-elected, then Americans will have to digest they are a racist authoritarian state. It can be stopped and fixed but not if Trump gets four more years. It will be another 15 years to be succeeded by DJTJ…
Think about it…
Vote in a massive wave!
Each and every vote matters…
Helen Smith if he wins again, he will make it so regardless of what the numerical majority means. I
Am sure that there were many in apartheid South Africa who felt they were not racist but still lived under racist governance and law.
It can happen.
Trump got to the oval office in large part because the country had such an anemic political response.
The two candidates couldn’t get the support of 50% of registered voters **between them both** .
So trump gets more like 20% of the electorate and the overall participation is so low that is enough to win states.
T Electronix that seems to be the malaise of distracted democracy. Voting should be mandatory like in Australia. You demand accountability from politicians, then you should be held accountable for your vote.
@Michael Bray ‘No access to social media if you could have voted….but didn’t.’
-> Voter turnout highest in US history.
T Electronix a very compelling proposition!
He and his father also shorted the dimensions by 1ft on government contracted built apts. Multiply that by hundreds and pocket the savings in materials, then discriminate and people day the doj dropped it? Nope try again. Read reality. He settled aka bribed his way out of legal accountability. Crooked as a stick and racist.
So where is your outcry for the officials he bribed? You lefties are pathetically insane.
What is your political platform mr. trump? Fear… I’m running on fear.
If that really is his platform, then I would say to him this: I love this country and the Constitution more than I fear you Mr. Trump.
to quote a famous Republican President currently residing in the WH…. “we love the poorly educated”……
Stoking fear of the “other” is one of the principal pillars of Wussolini’s fascist beliefs.
@Gooey 911 Fiction. No thanks.
@karin backstrom Thanks a lot Ma’am.
I’ve been to Sweden a couple of times, very beautiful and clean.
We could learn a lot from you over here.
Stay safe and sound 👍
@Agolf Twittler Thank you for your response! Nice to hear you liked Sweden.
Donald´s fans would call Sweden and other countries with the similar policies as we have communism. They have zero knowledge of different political ideologies and of the world outside their own safe bubble.
@karin backstrom You are most welcome Ma’am.
Seen from the fringes of the far right, Richard Milhous Nixon was a socialist.
My wife is from Denmark and we usually go to Denmark once a year, and when we have time we visit Norway and Sweden as well.
If Scandinavia are comprised of communist countries, you could easily persuade me to become a communist.
We are not going this year of course, due to the Covfefe-45 outbreak in the US we are not alloved to cross your borders, or anybody elses for that matter.
See you folks next year with a wee bit of luck and hard work on our part.
@Big Rooster lol so rich white usurers?
Trump: “I alone can fix the suburbs, in the midst of a global-pandemic. Oh yeah, I got the time.”
Everyone knows you have to wait 3 years 7 months before you can start an urban housing policy.
I mean, that’s just fact.
@T Electronix That’s not fair, he has been very busy. Golfing. I mean, who in their right mind would cancel a round of golf just because some people die from the sniffles? He has all the best people, the ones that can get rid of the demon sperm and inject bleach. Of course, if there is a real crisis, like real Americans removing statues of those who wanted to break up the Union, then golf might have to be postponed.
Bearing in mind all the things Donald Trump has said and done, it speaks volumes about those who still support him. They are pure scum.
@T Electronix Right, there isn’t much in this world that’s worse than Trump….but Trump supporters are certainly a close second.
@Lorenzo Cabrini 👌🤣🤣🤣🤣
Obama, Obama, Obama. I think Trump is secretly in Love with him. He just can’t stop thinking about about him. It’s got to be Love.
@Renee Redding I learned Communism from the time I was big enough to move from highchair to dinner table. barak & michelle are Marxists. Are you naive about what forms us as PERSONS? Communism IS here, and has BEEN here for over a century. You are a Communist, renee (at least in mind and spirit). I’ll pray for you to learn Truth.
@Ellen Peba you definitely need some prayers as well. You just proved my point, anyone who doesn’t agree with you is a Communist. I can assure you that I’m not but reasoning with you falls on deaf ears. This would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad. Take care
@Renee Redding Democrat = Communist. Your parties have been “married” since the 1920’s. Truth hurts, doesn’t it.
Trump is envious of Obama he know that Obama is a better man than he will ever be…
@Bobbie Montgomery Poor English, try again.
It’s always Obama’s fault
Trumps a traitor
November
Putin owns u. 🍊🔥🔥🔥punk
Trump will win 2020 because no one believes this fake news. Remember the polls in 2016…… _Hilary has this one in the bag, folks….._ LOLOL
Enough is enough
November 3rd is the day
Make the change happen
#haikuforyou #voteblue
LOL I am a college educated white man in my 20’s, and I would technically qualify for social housing assistance. Utter ignorance.
See, that leaves you in a tricky part of the venn diagram:
you’re white (Donny like-y)
but you’re not one of the 1% (ruh-roh)
😉
It is about classism not racism!
@Jules Nagbunga Partially true, not entirely true. In the 1930’s the government came up with a plan to greatly increase home ownership. They provided lower rate mortgages, and other things. However, this specifically excluded blacks. So white home ownership increased, and blacks often borrowed at a higher rate, as one result.
I remember at one job, I heard my white coworkers talking about their auto loan interest rates. Their rates varied from around 12.5% to 6%. Mine was 19.5%! We were all working the same job position. I understand that there are many factors determining credit. But there are various system practices that make it more difficult for people of color, that make it more difficult to obtain a middle class lifestyle.
@Jules Nagbunga trump has no class.
P diddy, jay z, Beyonce, Oprah, snoop Dogg, LeBron, Tyler Perry LET’S BUY UP THE SUBURB
lol…all racists..
Jay z Beyonce and Oprah are on that Epstein island list you. They got a special place for these people YouTube search Wes Watson number one worst charge in prison. Well since you want to make this a race thing a lot of black people live in the suburbs to and they don’t want criminals in their neighborhood.
There handlers won’t allow that. Come one there controlled and bought.
@best one The only one that’s controlled is you
This campaign strategy reeks of the foul, four odor of Stephen Miller.
glad im NOT the only one that smells that stench !!!!!
The only gated community that Trump should reside in is a federal penitentiary.
@Kyle Ranney you may be right, but so is she.
Keep going.
I like it.
@Dubhill Behemoth
Let’s deal.
6 months of nuthouse and 6 in Gotti’s cell.
Deal?
🤣🤣🤣 good one!
@Kyle Ranney #TRUMPINPRISONDEATHPENALTY2020 and all his inbred racist ignorant toxic destructive supporters cult members
Next we are gonna start seeing WHITE ONLY signs at restaurants.
. Blm thugs not welcome ! Floyd was a career felon
Don’t need signs. We know where we can and cannot eat. I should say should not eat because we are not welcome. Wouldn’t trust them with my food anyway. Segregation still exists in this country so I’m not surprised by this at all.
I wouldn’t even be surprised at this point. Might as well
@MJG from the D yeah, really… my food mixed with chef ramseys books, keeps us nice and happy right i home. My feelings aren’t hurt at all!
@MJG from the D we should be eating healthy anyways. Foods just another weapon
Republicans are wasting their time on this verbal masochist. I wonder how many decades it will take them to recover.
The Republican Party is dead.
It’s honestly surprising how they let him run roughshod over the party. It makes them all look like they stand for nothing at all
at least 100
@Bernice Groves That’s because they don’t. They only care about 💰 and being reelected.
Up to us to see that they dont..dont vote Republican until every one of the pukes in there NOW.. are no longer there..so at least 20 years im guessing..
