RISE THREAD RISE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
So Trump is back at it with some racist rhetoric. First up, he thinks
the judge who's presiding over the case of his "university" should recuse himself because of his presidential campaign's goals of building a wall on the Mexican border. Little problem. Judge is American and his parents immigrated before Trump's mom became a citizen. So CNN's Jake Tapper decided to press the issue. 23 times.
Donald Trump expanded on his attacks against a federal judge’s heritage Friday, arguing that the border wall the presumptive Republican nominee has put at the center of his 2016 campaign has made him the subject of unfair treatment in a California civil fraud suit over Trump University, his defunct real estate seminar.
Pressed by CNN’s Jake Tapper, Trump repeated his claim that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s Mexican heritage creates "an inherent conflict of interest.”

“Jake, I'm building a wall. OK? I'm building a wall. I'm trying to keep business out of Mexico. Mexico's fine,” Trump said.
“But he’s an American,” Tapper responded.
“He’s of Mexican heritage,” Trump said. “And he’s very proud of it, as I am of where I come from.”
“But he’s an American,” Tapper reiterated. “You keep talking about it’s a conflict of interest because of Mexico.”
Good on Tapper for being a fucking journalist for once and smashing Trump over the head with his own words.
Next up, seeing as how Mexican judges are out, Trump also said
Muslim judge's won't be fair to him either.Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump broadened his objections to the judiciary on Sunday, saying in an interview it was “absolutely” possible that he’d be treated unfairly by a Muslim judge.
During an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Trump continued his overtly racist tirade against U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who unsealed documents this week revealing predatory practices by salespeople at the now-defunct Trump University.
Trump claimed the judge, who was born in Indiana, treated him in a “hostile manner” due to the judge’s Mexican heritage.
“I think it has a lot to do with it. First of all, I’ve had terrible rulings forever,” Trump said. “This is a case I should’ve won on summary judgment.”
“He is a member of a club or society, very strongly pro-Mexican, which is all fine,” he added, referencing Curiel’s membership in La Raza Lawyers of California. “But I say he’s got bias. I want to build a wall. I’m going to build a wall.”
Asked if he believed that he would be treated unfairly by a Muslim judge because of his call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, Trump said, “It’s possible.”
“It’s possible, yes,” he said. “That would be possible, absolutely.”
And he thinks this is "unfair to him". Because...reasons. I just don't get the world Trump lives in.
Ironbite-and I really don't want it to be a reality.
