The Republican National Committee (RNC) chair Reince Priebus said Friday that Trump understands he needs to be nicer to minorities. Obviously, his fans don’t care. We all have been listening to his nasty rhetoric.
Yes, he should back down on that, but we already know what his views are. If he wanted minorities to like him and vote for him, he should have tried not being a racist or a xenophobe!
We here at LA have even made a list of all of the groups he’s alienated.
He has told Mexico that they need to pay for his wall. During his announcement speech he called Mexicans rapists and drug dealers.
He has called for a full-on ban of ALL Muslims entering the country. He has even said that Muslims should wear special badges in public and register in a database.
Priebus hit the nail on the head by saying:
“If people don’t think you like them, they’re not going to vote for you.”
Somebody should’ve told Trump that a year ago, but maybe he just doesn’t give a damn. He says he has spoken to Trump, and The Donald said: “he understands.”
This news comes after Trump posted a bizarre Cinco De Mayo tweet that many people found offensive.
Yes, “he understands.” He also mocked coal miners at a rally in West Virginia this week.
It is this, amongst other things, that has made many Millennials hate him as well.
But, now he seems to be flip-flopping on some issues. He opposed raising the minimum wage before, but now he seems game to do that:
‘I am open to doing something with it, because I don’t like that,’ Trump told CNN on Wednesday after being asked if he thought the $7.25 minimum wage should be increased.
Trump added that ‘you have to have something that you can live on’ and that his willingness to entertain a wage increase showed he was ‘very different from most Republicans.’ At the same time, he said he would prefer to try to raise wages through economic growth.
He may pretend to be nice to these groups now, but he’s already told us what he really thinks. Priebus seems to be in denial. They should not have a candidate who has to be told not to spew hateful rhetoric.
This flip-flopping is not new. He’s been doing this decades:
