Rump's Twits Who Tweet
It's clear over the course of neo-fascist demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump's campaign that his preferred vehicle for communication (next to his violent rallies) is Twitter. It fits his shallow, infantile grasp of policy and events, and allows him to feed his narcissism by re-tweeting messages by others that are flattering to him.
As we noted yesterday, his most recent foray into bigotry was the re-tweet of an image of Hillary Clinton with the Star of David over a pile of money, declaring her to be the most corrupt candidate ever. The material originated from a Twitter account operated by someone who regularly engages in bigoted and offensive language, and it's one of three white supremacist/white nationalist sources that Rump has re-tweeted messages from, either to attack Hillary Clinton or to echo support or praise for him. In one of the first instances last November, he retweeted racist, bogus black-on-black and black-on-white murder statistics from a white supremacist after some of his thuggish supporters beat up a black protester at one of his rallies in Alabama. Rump tried to wiggle out of the backlash by saying that he didn't have time to research every tweet.
This is the person the Republican / New Confederate / Stupid / Shooter's Party will have as its nominee: a reckless, lazy, and bigoted authoritarian who is incapable of either impulse control or decency.
UPDATE: Rump supporter and KKKer David Duke appreciates the message.
