17 III 2019: Donny Dogwhistle

[I wish a happy St. Patrick’s Day to all who care.]

1) Trump has urged Fox Mendax to put Janine Pirro back on the air. So now he’s a television critic? No. He is just expressing a personal preference for Islamophobes.

2) CNN reports: “The President is not a white supremacist,” Mulvaney said on ‘Fox News Sunday.’ “I’m not sure how many times we have to say that.” 

I do not care how often he says this, he cannot make it true. Trump’s entire campaign was an appeal to white supremacists whom he tells they are losing control of “our country.” Mr. Mulvaney would have us think that Donny Dogwhistle’s presenting himself as a white supremacist who cares only for white supremacists does not make him a white supremacist as well. Trumpian logic at its best!
