"Illegal immigration violates the civil rights of African Americans."  Yes, he actually said that today.

But wait, there's more!

Donald Trump Outlines His 'New Deal For Black America'
by Ali Vitali

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Donald Trump on Wednesday laid out his "new deal for Black America" to a predominantly white crowd, narrating a bleak and unrealistic picture of black communites and casting himself as the man to fix it.

Trump laid out three foundational principles that would guide his deal with African-American voters: safe communities, great education and higher paying jobs. In order to accomplish these goals, Trump promised more police on the streets, proposed designating "blighted communities" with "disaster designation" in order to spur their rebuilding and swore to stop illegal immigration.

The speech, billed as remarks on urban renewal and inner cities, spoke to the black experience writ large in this country as one where black Americans lack job opportunities and safe communities. As Trump does during most of his appeals to the community, the GOP nominee described inner cities as places where "you walk to the store to buy a loaf of bread, maybe with your child, and you get shot, your child gets shot."

"Illegal immigration violates the civil rights of African Americans."  Yes, he actually said that today.

Well, in a sense it's true. African Americans are disproportionally more likely to belong to the working class than other ethnic groups in the US. Illegal immigration is having a predominantly adverse effect on the working class (competition for jobs, driving down wages, crime) while it is a net positive for the upper middle class (cheaper maids and gardeners). Like most issues in America, it is a class issue disguised as a race/nationality issue.

Depending on eventual turn out, between 1/4 and 1/3 of total voters have already voted. From CNN.

The fix is in.

Donald Trump in 2013: I have 'sex' in common with Ivanka

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has a long history of making suggestive - some might say "super creepy and gross" - comments about his eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump. But a newly unearthed interview from 2013 shows the tycoon making the connection much more explicit.

In the February 2013 interview on the Wendy Williams Show, obtained by Us Weekly, Williams asked Ivanka Trump, then 31, her favorite thing that she had in common with her father.

"Either real estate or golf," Ivanka replied.

Williams then asked the elder Trump, then 67, the same question.

"Well, I was going to say sex, but I can't relate that to her," Trump said, pointing to Ivanka, who appeared embarrassed by the comment.

This is gotcha journalism and character assassination at its worst.

Trump has been an entertainer for a long time. He made a living out of going on various shows and saying outrageous things and other malapropisms.

No matter what you think of Trump as a Presidential candidate, and whether you think he would be a disaster if elected, all the "journalists" combing through his past interviews to come up with non-news pieces like this (which, frankly, is just a single malapropism, supported by a lot of conjecture, knowing winks and stuff like implying Ivanka felt uncomfortable - without bothering to ask her if she was) is just disgusting - and it firmly ensures that noone, but career politicians who have been controlling what they say through their entire lives - can ever successfully run for office.

I can see Tim reposting such stories, because he is an idiot - but I expected more of you, Syt.

Mart, I would normally tend to agree. However, I have yet to see Trump to change his m.o. of trying to get a rise out of people.

If this was limited to occasional one off comments here and there it would be one thing, but with him it's so prevalent and persistent that it does speak to his character off camera.
