Donald Trump's first attempts at ethnic cleansing were absurd, almost comical. I'm not sure that his many years of claiming President Obama was an impostor from another country counts as ethnic cleansing. It was moronic, but no one with her own brain bought into it. It was stupid, like a sit com farce. Then Trump went after Latinos, calling them rapists and so on, committing political suicide. Latinos are part of the deep fabric of America, a large and potent ethnicity capable of defending themselves. Attacking Latinos is so absurd you marvel at it the way you marvel at The Three Stooges. But at Trump's news conference today, he fielded questions from some paranoid asking him to ethnically cleanse Muslims (and their imaginary military training camps) from the United States. Trump's response was that he'd be looking into it. Muslims in America are a tiny vulnerable minority without political clout. Now we have entered KKK territory.
And yesterday we saw a scholarly 14-year-old boy, Ahmed Mohamed, arrested because he brought a clock he'd made to school to show to his teachers. No one in his school did the right thing. The police covered their butts by charging the boy, who wants to study engineering, with making a fake bomb, then dropped the charge.
It's time to return Trump to the Real Estate turkey cages where gobblers belong.
