Nia-Malika Henderson: Disparaging People from Other Countries Is ‘Part of Trumpism’ as Much as Tariffs

RUSH EXCERPT:

HENDERSON: "This is Donald Trump’s rhetoric. And this is been his rhetoric for a while. In that in his speech, when he announced he was running for president, that was the idea that somehow Mexico was sending killers and rapists and murderers. So this is part and parcel of Trumpism. This idea that there are bad savage people outside of the country, Muslim for instance and talked about them in disparaging ways and people from African countries and as well as people from countries south of the border, so this idea that there is something that Americans have to fear from folks from other countries is part of Trumpism. As much as him talking about tariffs is part of trumpism and that is why he’s doubling down. You can’t have trump if all of a sudden he’s welcoming people to the country in a more humane way because he talks about them in such dehumanizing terms."
