    White Nationalist leader who once supported Trump now says he's playing a 'con game'

    White Nationalist leader Spencer who once said 'Hail Trump' now says he's playing a 'con game'. Video credit CNN:

    Video: White nationalist turns on Trump after racist tweets




    This is apparently a wide spread sentiment among Conservative/Right/Far Right circles looking at other recent headlines:


    David Duke supported Trump in 2016 and now supports Ilhan Omar




    Coulter on Trump : "Joke presidency who scammed the American people"

    Either Trump never intended to build a wall and was scamming voters from the beginning or he hasn’t the first idea in how to get it done and no interest in finding out. My prediction is his support will evaporate and Trump will very likely not finish his term and definitely not be elected to a second term.”
    “Trump will just have been a joke presidency who scammed the American people, amused the populists for a while, but he’ll have no legacy whatsoever.”

    CNN reports, you decide. CNN like Fauxnews is known to push lot of fakenews but this video clip appears to be real.

    The talk will be open to the public as Wray provides a "field guide" to learn about "the different types of white people and how you can learn to spot them in their natural habitats.”
    Wray says the event will offer “a sociological and cultural analysis of what produces and sustains” certain “white social types” such as President Trump, transracial former NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal, white nationalist Richard Spencer and leftwing Social Justice Warriors.
    Wray's presentation, first reported by the College Fix, is set to conclude with “observations about the implications of white self-differentiation for social issues like immigration, mass incarceration, and the growing epidemic of self-destruction among whites.”

    So is your position that 'racists' cannot have anything of value to say?

    I take it from your strong reaction that you have very little tolerance racist speech and you champion racial equality.
    If so, do you think folowing was racist view of the tweeter or just a con to attract racists to his future political campaign?

    Anthony Scaramucci Calls Trump Attack On 4 Democrats ‘Racist And Unacceptable’

    The former White House communications director joined those condemning the man he briefly served.

    By Antonia Blumberg
    Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci condemned President Donald Trump’s racially charged attacks on a group of Democratic congresswomen of color, calling the comments by the man he briefly worked for “racist and unacceptable.”

    “Would @realDonaldTrump ever tell a white immigrant ― whether 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th+ generation - to ‘go back to your country’?” Scaramucci tweeted on Tuesday. “No. That’s why the comments were racist and unacceptable.”


    He continued: “America is a nation of immigrants founded on the ideals of free thought and free speech.”

    When topic involves politicians (whose words are not even trusted by their hardcore pro-diversity supporters) get accused of playing 'con games'/being 'fake racist' by their racist supporters, things get complicated quickly. Much of it looks like 3D chess and some of the former supporters seems to have got tired of 'winning' already.

    Topic could be simplified by saying that some of the Far Right supporters of MAGA are ditching him claiming that he's playing 'con game' with them and that his statements are like a 'drunkard uncle watching Hannity'. That plus Ann Coulter/SteveBannon alienation can spell big trouble at the polls.

    Meh...I'm not even going to play that game.

    I remain mostly neutral.

    The only thing the Drunken Monkey has done in this regard is to wake up the insane, burning, murderous hatred that the committed Bolshevik/Jacobin crowd has for anybody who is anything close to a freedom person.

    I honestly didn't think it was there...really...I thought enough people could unite under a banner of liberty and freedom and non interventionism to turn the county around.

    I have been spectacularly wrong about some things in my life...getting married the first time while drunk and on drugs, the 2016 election...but this...this...shoo buddy...was I $#@!ing wrong about that.

    These $#@!ing $#@!s will kill us when they get the power to do so.

    I know, it was sarcasm, mocking the way they rationalize everything so simplistically when it suits their purpose.

    Here, he supports Trump, or at least he did a couple years ago when CNN interviewed him.

    In case of Trump, at least there can be plausible explanation for socialists/liberals/SJWs/Dems to support him; he has held various liberal socialist progressive positions for most of his life and has funded ultra liberal socialist politicians for decades (not just Schumer and Hillary Clinton).




    Sanders supporters vow to support Trump if Bernie isn’t the nominee

    Extremist conservative mole Steve Bannon even used to call current senior MAGA White House leadership "democrats", fortunately he has been kicked out and put in his place.

    How did Bolsheviks manage to take over control of GOP?


    Conceding that top leadership of GOP-Adelson wing used to be left wing Dems not too long ago, it is not clear if that is a large factor for GOP's move left. Part of it could be just due to passage of time.

    "As he (Trump) launched his campaign, the conservative National Review reported that he was a registered Democrat from 2001 to 2009 and praised a Canadian-style universal health care system. Party affiliation in the United States is usually changed by ticking a box while registering to vote and doesn't imply any financial contribution. However Trump has also shown a willingness to contribute considerable sums to Democratic causes - including Hillary Clinton's campaign for Senate in 2002."

    People have ability to change, democrats can become conservative Republicans sometimes.
    Don't understand why some conservative purists keep calling them Democrats even now.



    For some of Berners it may make sense though to keep it in the 'liberal Democrat values family' sort of . Biden may offer lip service but his commitment to our closest ally is doubtful but in case of MAGA there is no doubt that he'll stand with our closest ally. Heaven forbid if Deep Stage managed to derail MAGA 2020 run, Berners 3rd choice probably would be Cory Booker.. another solid supporter of our closest ally and brings pretty much same liberal social democrat values to the table as Bernie and GOP-Jarvanka wing.

    Great minds think alike, MAGA's top donor and Israel's richest person Adelson also sees G-d's hand in MAGA's policies.

    Curious, do you also consider yourself a Zionist like Adelson and support MAGA's mideast interventions policies to defend our closest ally (vizavee Iran sanctions/military build up, Golan Heights, US Embassy move to Jerusalem, $38B taxpayers aid to support Israel's occupation of people of non-chosen Palestinian races etc. ) ?

    I take it from your strong reaction that you have very little tolerance racist speech and you champion racial equality.
    Do you see all races as equal ( i.e., no race is more chosen or supremacist than others)?


    Deifying the American President: Miriam Adelson Doubles Down on 'Book of Trump'


    Allison Kaplan Sommer
    Jul 08, 2019



    U.S. President Donald Trump presents the Presidential Medal of Freedom to physician Miriam Adelson, wife of Sheldon Adelson, during an East Room ceremony, in Washington, DC., on November 16, 2018.ALEX WONG / AFP


    Donald Trump’s presidency represents “a time of miracles” for Israel, the United States and the world, and perhaps someday a chapter of the Bible — a “Book of Trump” — should be written celebrating his accomplishments.
    Such was the suggestion of Israeli-American megadonor Miriam Adelson, as set out in a praise-laden article published in the two newspapers she owns in both countries.
    The piece, which appeared this weekend in the Las Vegas Review Journal, after running in the free newspaper Israel Hayom, enumerated what Adelson views as Trump’s gifts to Israel, and bemoaned the fact that he doesn’t receive the support among American Jews that she believes he deserves.
    “Scholars of the Bible will no doubt note the heroes, sages and prophets of antiquity who were similarly spurned by the very people they came to raise up,” Adelson wrote. “Would it be too much to pray for a day when the Bible gets a 'Book of Trump,' much like it has a 'Book of Esther,' celebrating the deliverance of the Jews from ancient Persia?”
    >> Read more: Miriam Adelson's bat mitzvah – or a wonderful night for U.S.-Israel relationsWhat happens when pro-Trump Christians weaponize the Bible | Opinion
    Adelson’s words echoed a common refrain among U.S. evangelical circles and Trump advisers, comparing the president to various biblical figures, particularly with respect to his policies regarding Israel. After his 2017 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Trump has repeatedly been compared by evangelicals and Jews on the religious right to Persia’s King Cyrus II, who allowed the Jews to return to their land and rebuild their Temple, with some even suggesting that Trump was, in fact, Cyrus reincarnated. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to that comparison himself, telling Trump he would be remembered for his declaration concerning Jerusalem much as King Cyrus himself had been.

    For his part, U.S. ambassador David Friedman, speaking at the AIPAC policy conference earlier this year, compared Trump to King David, noting that the legendary Jewish leader “recognized that Israel’s enemies would seek to undermine the centrality of Jerusalem to the State of Israel and to mischaracterize and vilify the Jewish state. He sought God’s intervention for something simple and basic that we not fall for it, that we continue to see the holiness, the beauty, the sanctity of life, and, yes, the good in Jerusalem. I’d like to think that God has blessed the Trump administration in this very manner.”
