In a little-noticed rant, President Donald Trump furiously vowed on Truth Social that he will now carry out something called “remigration.” This idea is widely prevalent among global white nationalists, who see it as key to their vile goal of building white ethnostates, so his open endorsement of it is significant. That comes as a U.S. Democratic senator has been violently tackled and handcuffed, as Trump dispatches troops into Los Angeles, and as his homeland security secretary suggests those troops will “liberate” L.A. from its elected Democratic leadership. We talked to Will Sommer, senior reporter at The Bulwark and author of a great piece on the fresh levels of bloodlust all this is inspiring in MAGA media. We discuss the centrality of sadism and violent lawlessness to the MAGA movement—and why this is pushing us toward a watershed moment. You can listen to this episode—which was recorded before the horrifying shootings of two Minnesota state legislators—right here. A transcript is here.

Where's the transcript? Not taking 20 minutes to listen to a podcast when I can read the transcript in 5, or less.

Here's a thing about Trump. He has very few consistent beliefs. He was a supporter of the Democratic Party in the early 2000s. He has in fact changed his party affiliation five times. He's 'supported' whatever he thought would benefit him at the time.

But, there is one thing that has been consistent throughout his life. He's always been a racist.

This is a wikipedia piece with over 470 cited sources on his racist words and actions, over 50 years. This is who Donald Trump is and has always been
