Trump staffers use offensive memes to make fun of Blacks and Hispanics
Published:
By Rob Wile
A recent BuzzFeed report suggested that Donald Trump was seeking new ways to curry favor with Latinos. He could use a boost. A July Pew poll found that Latino voters favor Hillary Clinton over Trump by a whopping 66% to 24%. Maybe that’s because Trump has previously called Mexican immigrants drug dealers, criminals and rapists, and insulted a judge’s Mexican heritage. It’s no wonder that even Latina Republicans are calling him racist.
So…it’s probably not great that his staffers are sharing racist memes of Mexicans on social media. But, according to a new report in the Associated Press, that’s exactly what’s happening.
The wire service looked at the social media accounts of 50 current and former Trump campaign employees and found a cornucopia of badness.
For instance, Craig Bachler, Trump’s statewide director of coalitions shared this offensive meme showing an overweight Mexican man wearing a sombrero that made fun of his English.
The AP found other extremely bad posts from many different corners of the Trump campaign. One graphic designer for Trump’s advance team posted video of a black man eating fried chicken and criticizing fellow blacks for ignorance, irresponsibility and having too many children. A state field director shared a post June 30 calling Islam “a barbaric cult.” And one suggested Edible Arrangements was funneling money to Hamas. (That is an old, false rumor that has been thoroughly debunked.)
This is hardly Trump’s first time having to deal with staffers who stray into deeply racist territory. Last August, the campaign fired a staffer for allegedly writing racially charged and disparaging posts dating back to 2007. One called civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton’s daughter the n-word, and another called President Barack Obama a “Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser,” CNN reported.
Bachler and the Trump campaign did not respond to emailed requests for comment.

The list goes on and on and so does his supporters' desperation. This man is now due in court so that the whole Trump U deal can be heard and, it's very serious but, his supporters could care less. In the last debate, it was made crystal clear that none the numbers in his economic outlook made any sense whatsoever, and, will actually demolish the not great but stable economy we currently have. I'll be so glad when it's all over in two days. I never knew that such easily disillusioned and desperate people existed. I don't hate any of them but, boy, will I be ever mindful of who I'm dealing with from now on.
