Iowa H.S. Students Chant 'Trump' After Loss To Racially Diverse Basketball Team

[UCmeNdc]

Trump! has become an icon for white power.

That is his attraction to his base. That is why he will never lose them.


High school students in Des Moines, Iowa, this week chanted "Trump! Trump!" after a boys' basketball game. The chanters were from Dallas Center-Grimes High, which has a largely white population. Their school's team had just lost to Perry High School, which has a more diverse student population.

Trump has made derogatory comments about illegal immigrants and has pledged to build a wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border if he is elected.

1. The larger question is does this reflect the majority of Iowa or are these just a bunch of hicks

salty because they lost a game? We'll find out in November.

3. Iowa's a purple state, usually goes for the Dem

They did go for Bush in '04 but that was the exception. Dems there are generally progressive and they aren't racist. And they outvote the Republicans in general elections.

9. Sadly, a nephew (by marriage) of mine in Council Bluffs floated "Caucasion Invasion"

as the name for a proposed, informal,"fun" basketball team. His dad is a seriously bloated no-job-having, Obama-aint-my-president, misogynistic, entitled bully.

4. Idiots.

5. Let's make no mistake... Much of Trump's support is based on racism and xenophobia. NT

6. Losers on the court. And off.

7. So, "Trump!" is now the battle cry of losers.

No surprises there.
