Because I know so far just during his campaign for presidency Trump has said controversial things that have drew offended responses from:
Mexicans
Women
Asians
People with Disabilities
And now,
Muslims
Am I missing any others?
It seems like Trumps campaign has been almost entirely comprised of him defending his own controversial statements and insults toward one group or another.
This theme might be something democratic strategists for the Clinton and Sanders campaigns might want to point out.

(61,914 posts)Trump has been race baiting African Americans since the 1980s.
His comment that Barack Obama's presidency has ruined chances
for a future black president doesn't help either.

I think saying someone likes Donald Trump is quite the insult.

(4,840 posts)How could I forget that??!! That happened just before Trump insulted Muslims.
So it has been:
Mexicans
Women
Asians
People with Disabilities
African Americans
And now
Muslims.
Is this the kind of president we want for our country?
Someone who racks up a long list of groups and entire demographics he is tone deaf and insensitive toward?
Someone who offends people left and right and gets into petty personal squabbles every time someone disagrees with him?

(4,840 posts)Of course, Trump's racism at anytime counts against him but I specifically was wondering who Trump had insulted once his campaign was underway.
Why? Because it shows just how tuned out Trump is that he can't even manage to not insult people he really should be courting votes from.
