Man this guy is such a yellow belly chicken blood democrat

Donald Trump does not so much run for something as he runs against somebody. His latest attacks are against Haitian immigrants, but what we are seeing is a playbook previously used to target other ethnic and religious groups, and with a similar goal: to make the MAGA base feel like they're under attack.
Trump needs his people to think America is on the brink of collapse – and to associate that collapse with an "other." The goal is to panic the base, and since there isn't a scary enough truth, lies will do. Trump's lie about Springfield may be particularly grotesque. But it's in the same tradition of racist rhetoric that he has been testing out since the beginning of his campaign.

Demorats do what they are told by the WH
@VV-gi6cu
Government representatives want to cry, "racism" when white citizens voice their concerns about the migrant invasion to their community. As a Black citizen, registered Democrat, Blacks don't want them here either. The insult is that our tax dollars are used to support them. Many Blacks will never vote for another Democrat. If Kamala or any Democrat win an election, we are doomed.
@jamesallison9662
Make sure he pays the venue, and security up front. And don't take a check.
@christinao8877
Trump needs to stop by Diversity Staffing and visit King George.
@nathanrobinson3653
Weak mayor–things are only gonna get worse for springfield with a weak mayor and weak deWhine–especially when you roll out the red carpet for a trump visit. They will continue to reap what they sow by not calling out trump directly. WEAK WEAK WEAK Ohio knows you are weak and a key part of the problem. Have fun with your trump visit–i am sure he will apologize for his baseless claims and tell the truth for you, right? hahahahahahahahhahaa
@bobsilver3983
That town must be a scary place to live! Imagine 20,000 brought it, the house values will drop 60%
@aaronbrutus2654
It's your citizens who are crying out for help.
@EdSeTcin
Helpful to him so he doesn't get exposed and held accountable.
@kentjones6813
If we were moving millions of IRISH into the CONGO, they would be screaming racism!!!!!!!!!! The left are going back to their roots and that has always been RACISM. Now against whites, Asians and blacks.
@PokemonFreak1172
You have to be kidding me
@ydne
It is so terrible to see first generation Americans turn on their immigrant ancestors. Donald Trump's poor pretty immigrant mother, who came here as a nanny and married a wealthy American, doesn't deserve this.

You don't eant Trump, But you want Haitians ?
Hmm
So how Much is Bezos paying you?
@Ttow49
It's funny they act like they are saviors but really just revolves around cheap labor. People need to learn to boycott businesses and city's with such practices, I will never even buy a bag of chips in springfield ohio ever again
@Ttow49
Looks like springfield ohio wants to be the capital of cheap labor and living standards of 10 people to 1 bedroom
@tomhenry897
Tell the truth
Not the coverup
@marktaylor4496
If Donald cared about the people of Springfield, Ohio he not only would not go but would stop lying about Springfield!
@benschlotte8242
She wants to deflect to hide the fact that this is happening and she is skimming money for the care of these people
@derekmiller9505
Helpful to who?
@twinstarr1438
Do not allow trump and his nasty trouble making mouth in your district. Bless and stay strong
@inthemidstofthevalley6576
"Baseless claims" yet there are 911 calls as well as several complaints and testimonials to the city from residents. There are pictures of people in the parks carrying dead geese circulating.. This mayor is a joke.
@mightyriver5017
Why is it helpful? Who does it help? Please elaborate.
@Mlise007
You people voted for former president BO after he ate a dog. You really think anyone believes the media's propaganda to protect illegals and hide their crimes?
@roncasa-xs7oy
The mayor of Springfield is a democrat, he doesn't want to be exposed for housing 20000 illegals in his little town. Springfield your mayor sold you out.

The days of fun and games are OVER, despite the FACT that the majority STILL believe the LIE that we are still in the time of fun and games. Those of us who KNOW the truth must STOP living life on a merry go round and start being TRUE soldiers for God.
@acefstripe
Sounds like a good leader for his city.
@dtaylor939
LOL that mayor sold out his own people and now thinks it's inconvenient to point that out.
@iangray7486
Just do not support the “Donald” visit – let Secret Service cover all security requirements.
@JuanRamirez-v9h
RE: TEAMSTERS RELATED FACT WIDELY OVERLOOKED. Trumps William to schedule an urgent press conference related to the economy, directly opposite the Kamala’s address to the Teamsters Harris…
Their members, like the majority of the media, including the left leaning media, totally overlooked Kamala’s address to the Teamsters that day, but instead tuned into Trump’s ridiculous Media Circus.
