Go Back Up The Escalator Mr. Trump

Many of you recall how he descended the escalator in Trump tower with his wife, Melania, to proclaim his candidacy in 2015, with a speech full of fear equating how Mexico was not sending its best. 

"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume some are good people." This is the way a person with a white nationalist agenda speaks. He uses the fear of rape to stoke his racist political agenda. The Ku-Klux-Klan came into popularity in America with the propaganda film "The Clansman" later re-titled "The Birth of a Nation" in 1915. Former Grand Wizard David Duke ran the film during his bid for the presidency in 1970 and is an avid supporter of this president. The film in short, highlighted the fact that when black people came into power during the reconstruction era they had one thing in their hearts, and that was to rape white women. So in rode The Clansmen. They were the heroic figures who would save white women from the evil black men which Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had unleashed on America. Please note the racists cheer and embrace this film ignoring the fact that they were afraid of the very thing that they themselves were guilty of historically.

Thursday in West Virginia, Donald Trump flips his prepared remarks on tax reform into the air calling them boring. The crowd chuckles and applauds that he was going off script again. But beneath that playful boyish gesture, Trump had a thorn in his side. He didn't get money for his wall in the last spending package, so fuming about it he signs the bill but proclaims that he will never sign another deal like this again. 

This is where mockingly Ann Coulter quoted him back and added in a Tweet of what his fate would be. Feeling the heat from Coulter and his biggest boosters at Fox News, Trump first decided to deploy military troops to the southern border to secure it. He tells a gathering there at West Virginia who gathered to hear his thoughts on tax reform that the rapists are coming--- again.

"And remember my opening remarks at Trump Tower, when I opened. Everybody said, 'Oh, he was so tough,' and I used the word 'rape.' And yesterday, it came out where, this journey coming up, women are raped at levels that nobody has ever seen before. They don't want to mention that. "So we have to change our laws. And the Democrats, what they're doing is just — it's insanity. I don't — nobody understands what's going on." -CNN.com

Trump claims women are being raped  in caravans

 Donald Trump's claim that women were being raped at levels that no one has ever seen before, has to be on the top of his list of his Greatest Lies Ever told (Volume Ten). The Caravan which was moving into Puebla, Mexico from Central America is a yearly trek which the people mostly from Honduras, Central America make every year. They do it in hopes to reach Mexico for a better life. They prepare for their own safeguard measures because they know a trip like this one can be dangerous. The reporters on hand and 

observers mentioned that the trek was a hard one for these determine people who were seeking asylum in Puebla, Mexico but there were no incidents of rape at all. But Donald Trump goes to West Virginia to gossip and blather on about how women on this journey are being raped at epic proportions. Rape is happening for sure. But it's not coming across the boarders by brown people. It’s here within our own country and this administration has not been speaking out or initiating programs to stop it. His talk about rape has been, and continues to be, reckless and irresponsible especially for a person who holds the highest office in America. To me his proclamation that April is Sexual Assault Awareness month, is about as proactive as proclaiming February 14 to be Valentine’s day. It’s just not meaningful.

We’ve all heard of a few times about false reporting of rape from some people. And for sure, false reporting is wrong, and it hurts a person falsely accused. Mansplainers will proudly thump their chests proclaiming "See! There is proof that all women are liars about being raped." They clutch onto that 2-10 percent false claim and use it to weaponize themselves that all claims are a sham. And here we have Donald Trump telling a patently false and debunked lie about rape once again. His obvious reasons behind it is to gin up his base, and stoke more hatred and bigotry against a race of people that are fighting for no more than the right to exist.

People Migrating North from Honduras No one is raping PBS News

The Caravan was not designed as an invasion to crash our boarders as was being reported by Fox News, but a long movement to safety to protect the people who were making the journey from harm. But Trump seems to believe that Fox News had accurately sounded the alarm against the so-called invaders, and he was determined to do something about it. Fox News is Trump's main go-to source to stay on top of the issues above all other briefings he may get. So with a lie on his lips about rape, and the need to get back into the good graces of his Trump fans, he's sending National Guard troops to the southern borders to assist the border patrol. This could be manpower which might be needed elsewhere if a real crisis should happen. But it’s happening at the whim of a bigoted man who occupies the chair in the oval office, and who thinks that dividing humanity is the way this Country should be. It was a sad day when he came down that golden escalator. Go back up Donald Trump and hit the power switch off.
