The secret sauce that Donald Trump has brewed has two main ingredients: hate and fear.
Hate and fear are powerful emotions. They can trump everything. At least for a short time. |
Yup, hate and love are powerful forces. Hey, if the Open Borders/Tranny/Hug The Rapist Crowd can destroy Western civilization through "love", then I sincerely hope Trump can save something of our country through "hate".

Yes, mass immigration of culturally alien and largely unskilled Third World peoples is in the best interest of the American proletariat. |

As always, that statement is Not Even Wrong.

Yup, cleaning toilets is a magical ability that is unique to the Latin American peoples. Rich cultural legacy.
I grew up in a part of the country without Mexicans. We used teenagers. Amazing, dishes were washed and lawns were mowed.
Boggles the mind. |

You can see the liberal hypocrisy in how he assumes latin immigrants are meant to clean toilets. 'Come on America bring in the immigrants and let them do what they are best at doing'. |

You didn't even read the story, did you? It's not a "He" - She's a British singer songwriter named Kelly Osbourne.
Kelly Osbourne stepped into it on "The View" Tuesday, challenging Donald Trump's statement about Mexicans and asking if he has his way ... who will clean his toilet?
Osbourne quipped, "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?"
Rosie Perez challenged Kelly, who immediately tried to clarify. Rosie tweeted after the show, "My apologizes @KellyOsbourne, I took your point wrong - #TrumpLatinos. My Bad. You're heart is so pure and righteous. I adore you."
For her part, Osbourne wrote about the flub later, saying, "I should have known better as I was on The View and it was live. I’ve learned a very valuable lesson. It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole. By the way I clean my own f**king toilets."
Regards,
John |

Typical of the most sketchy for-profit "education" schemes:
| Quote: |
Trump University salespeople were instructed to play to peoples’ emotions and suggest that potential customers rely heavily on credit card debt or retirement funds to pay for the classes, according to documents unsealed by a federal judge Tuesday.
“You don’t sell products, benefits or solutions — you sell feelings,” Trump University salespeople were counseled.
Another document related to a lawsuit against the for-profit university advises: “This sales process is based on managing the emotions of the client by focusing on the psychology of the sale. The metaphor we use for this process is the Roller Coaster of emotions."

| Quote: |
Among the most scathing assessments from former workers came from Ronald Schnackenberg, a witness for the plaintiffs who worked for the school as a Trump University sales manager in Manhattan for less than a year in 2007.
He described boiler room-like pressure tactics that “preyed upon the elderly and uneducated,” saying he believed that “Trump University was engaging in misleading, fraudulent and dishonest conduct.”
