In his eagerness to be the most powerful man in the world, Donald Trump stirs up hate within the white middle class, who feel like the losers in the process of economic globalization. It is paradoxical that these are the people who feel represented by the presidential candidate for the Republican Party, since globalization was promoted precisely by that party under the influence of the multimillionaire David Rockefeller and his trilateral commission in the 1970s. But Trump’s followers don’t know this due to their lack of education.
In his tirades, he openly fans racism to take advantage of individuals, such as the idea asserting that Obama is responsible for all the crimes committed by Americans because he is black, or that all of the criminals will vote for Hillary, so one must elect Trump.
In reaction to the incendiary words of Trump, the Republican reactionary Pat Buchanan assures that Trump is the Great White Hope. Furthermore, Buchanan said on May 28 on CNN that in the United States the unemployment and stagnation of wages is the fault of the undocumented Mexicans because they have taken jobs from whites.
Naturally, he left out saying that the closure of factories and the massive loss of jobs is due to the resourceful globalization by the huge industries of the U.S. for outsourcing and increasing their profits, paying less wages and evading taxes.
Trump has done more than encourage racism; he has vindicated intolerance in general. In his tirades, he has not only insulted Mexicans and insisted that Mexico is going to pay for a wall on the U.S. border – he’s also called for blocking Muslims from entering the country, mocked ex-presidential candidate John McCain because he was captured by the enemy in Vietnam, and he has disrespected female politicians and journalists whom he considers antagonists since they have not paid him worship.
Playing the card of "if you're not with me you're against me," Trump pours gasoline on the fire of intolerance of his followers. However, the intolerance that he fans has resulted in the unleashing of anti-Semitism from much of his followers.
On May 26, The New York Times columnist Jonathan Wiesman compiled a bombardment of Nazi imagery that had been submitted to him and other writers with Jewish names by anti-Semitic follower of Trump.
In Boston two brothers savagely beat up and urinated on a Latino that was sleeping in the street. After their arrests, one of them told the police: "Donald Trump is right, all these illegals need to be deported." When the Republican candidate was informed of the incident, he calmly stated that his followers are "very passionate."
As it is to be expected, his insults also invoke senseless protests among his opponents, who have destroyed private property in demonstrations in Arizona, Albuquerque and San Diego. Also, they don't seem to understand that flying the Mexican flag during their disorderly protests confirms the negative stereotypes that the aspiring Republican promotes.
In his worthwhile analysis, the Mexican intellectual Enrique Krauze says that Trump has been successful in planting the worst elements of American culture. There doesn't have to be a fortune-teller to predict that the hapless candidacy will be very costly to the country.
