Donald Trump ignores and excuses any crime in which he, his family, or his associates are involved and refuses to acknowledge crimes if they make him look bad, but will rant about law and order when the accused is brown.

This is the same president who had to be badgered for 24 hours to acknowledge the death of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville by a Trump supporting racist, brushed off the killing of a Washington Post journalist by the Saudi Arabian government, and insists that his personal lawyer pled guilty to crimes that weren’t even crimes as if a judge would ever allow that. Before even knowing the facts of a case or waiting for actual charges or a conviction in court, however, he’s ready to accuse an immigrant.

Undocumented immigrants will not be stopped by a border wall and a very small percentage of them commit crimes outside the misdemeanor crime of crossing the border illegally. Just as Trump once ranted about MS-13, which constitutes less than eight-thousandths of one percent of all undocumented immigrants, he’s cherry-picking information to make a political point.

These are the exact same tactics that have historically backed up and justified state-sanctioned racism and the mass incarceration of black men. They were, and still are, painted as dangerous, violent criminals bent on destroying the unsuspecting white race. Trump doesn’t try to hide his racism or the racism of his base, he sees it as perfectly normal and natural.

Twitter was quick to point out the criminals currently residing inside the White House. Read some of their responses below:
