Trump believes in Eugenics/Superior Genes

This may be common knowledge in the DU, but I haven't seen anything regarding this issue.

While many people, including myself, are always wondering whether Trump's racist acts are to appease his base, or he's personally a racist, I think this video confirms the latter.

In the video, Trump says he does not believe all men are created equal, he's proud of his "German blood", believes in innate genetic superiority, and confirms the biographers statement that he was raised
to believe in at least certain aspects of eugenics.

As usual, he speaks vaguely without mentioning groups with either greater or lesser genetic ability.

But that's just him being his typical douchebag self who likes to screw with people. At this point, its very easy to connect the dots, starting with this video, moving to his birther movement, and now doing everything he can to delegitimize a black man's presidency by reversing all his actions.

What frustrates me is that this most concerning of issues was never addressed by the mass media. Ever.

The first question in the first debate should have been "do you believe all men are created equal?" because he does not, with ideally a follow-up question or 3.

1. how does he explain his pig gene??

[Juliusseizure]

6. Let's not raise him to pig status

Pigs can be loving, social creatures with empathy.

[Angry Dragon]

14. not much is lower than a snake fart............is that better??

[MoonRiver]

29. He should be so lucky!

Every pig on earth has at least 10 IQ points on the loser in chief.

2. K$R

[eShirl]

5. oh, this one will never get old

[Willie Pep]

7. This is the best Trump cartoon I have ever seen!

The way Baby Trump is drawn is extra hilarious.

[Angry Dragon]

15. NICE!!

[Canoe52]

3. Except tRump is lacking any so-called "superior genes"

[eShirl]

4. Anyone whose ancestors didn't stay in Africa is part Neanderthal.

Just sayin'.

[JonLP24]

8. ESPN actually apologize for Hill calling him a white supremacist

Unbelievable.

[Willie Pep]

9. I guess it is easy to believe that when you are born rich.

What genetic talent does Trump have? The gene for going bankrupt? The gene for lying and conning people into believing your BS?

[JI7]

13. if it is about Genes his would be an example of inferior ones

with the 3 oldest kids as more proof of it.

[oasis]

10. He's always been full of shit. That's for damn sure.

The genes and smarts? Not so much.

[Juliusseizure]

11. He doesn't even believe in science

He doesn't even know what a gene is.

How does he explain his retarded sons?

He's half Scottish.Is that the dumb side or the lunatic side?

When was malignant narcissism deemed a genetic success? I'd rate his genes slightly less favorable than Charles Manson's, who had discernable music talent.

He keeps saying he has the "best words". That's a stupid second grade level description. Same for "big brain". Dillweed.

[JI7]

12. failed piece of shit

[cyclonefence]

16. I doubt very much

that the people who voted for him disagree with this position, although most of them probably have the good sense not to talk about it.

[MFM008]

17. Thats funny

He doesn't have any superior genes.

[nocalflea]

18. He's been saying this shit for years. His words and actions (and his father's) have been consistently racist.

The media didn't call him out on his mob ties, why call him out on his racial beliefs? I wonder if the mainstream media realizes just how many centrists like myself no longer trust them. My confidence has been so badly shaken, I rarely watch network or cable news anymore. Was avid CBS This morning viewer, can't stand just looking at these people anymore, let alone listening to them. "America, where real journalism goes to die".

[Neema]

19. Interesting that most of the people who claim this are so wildly unattractive.

I guess their delusion starts when they look in the mirror and see themselves as superior in any way, and goes on from there.

[haveahart]

20. And somewhat dumb.

[clu]

21. are there not superior genes

not between races, but among races? some people are smarter than others. some are taller, some are stocky. of course trump's statements have an implication but let's avoid a knee-jerk reaction that rejects any similar opinion.

[eShirl]

22. ah yes, the scientific term "superior"

[JonLP24]

25. Genetics aren't set in stone

There are many lifestyle & environmental factors can play a role in your genetic makeup.

[clu]

27. the outcome of genetic effects are not set in stone

for sure nurture is critical but let's not exclude a topic because a few racists like to talk about it like a trophy

[Wednesdays]

32. When Jefferson penned "all men are created equal,"

he meant it in the legal sense, not biological.

I could never become like Michael Jordan, even if I were raised in an identical environment and had his exact training. Same with other great talent such as Wolfgang Mozart and Albert Einstein.

Regardless of our abilities (or lack thereof), even if there are genetic differences we are all entitled to equal human rights.

[clu]

33. of this

there is no doubt. the right hides behind this misinformation though, so IMO it's good to counter it.

[trotsky]

34. Evolution has no concept of "superior" genes, only genes that are more "fit" for one's environment.

Genes for tallness aren't any more "superior" than genes for average or smaller height.

[LanternWaste]

36. What you list are simply imaginary values of worth rather than more efficient genes.

"some people are smarter than others. some are taller, some are stocky..."

What you list are simply imaginary cultural values of worth rather than inherently more efficient/effective (or "better" ) genes.

Knee jerk, indeed.

[clu]

37. they are rough examples

do we not think that to some extent, being artistic or verbally or mathematically intelligent are *not* genetic. I don't even care enough to bother arguing nature versus nurture in terms of the influence they have on an individual - i'm simply stating the traits are there.

[Drahthaardogs]

23. Germans tried to rule the world three times

And they failed.

This descendent if the Eutrascans says you don't get to call yourself the master race if you can't even rule the world for 100 years.

[haveahart]

24. So why wasn't this shown all over the media starting back in 2008? They every rally he has

from beginning to nasty end?

Intelligence is at least 70% relative to your environment. I would like to give him a batch of cement and some bricks and see if he can build a house with his bare hands and few simple masonry tools like my grandfather.

I would like to see him survive in a village deep in the Amazon without running water.

Take most people out of their native environment and take away all the resources they are used to have at their disposal. Start there.

[JonLP24]

26. Great points

I'll have to remember next time I hear 'bootstraps' or any similar talking point.

[yardwork]

28. Trump's racist views and behaviors have been known for decades.

The media chose to ignore it or cover for it during the 2016 election.

[Lithos]

30. Long known about this...

He is a throwback to White Nationalism of the 1920's when such things were common.

The hypocrisy is that while he thinks his German heritage makes him superior, Germany as a country and people all uniformly despise and reject Trump.

[Pholus]

31. He should buy some sometime....

I don't figure I won the genetic lottery by a landslide, but I would pass on any offered Trump-genes.

[Gothmog]

35. Trump does not have superior genes

[MineralMan]

38. Passed 'em along to his sons, too:

[clu]

39. heheheheh

[Johnny2X2X]

40. He is a White Supremacist

The media has been absolutely absent in this obvious fact. Any respectable media would be referring to him as a White Supremacists every single time they mention him. Our White Supremacist President.

[Egnever]

41. Well....

Evolution is exactly the result of superior genes.

That said what might be superior in one circumstance may not be in another. I don't think there is any doubt that there are superior genes. That does not mean Trump has them.

For example when it comes to brain power Steven hawking clearly has superior genes but when it comes to general health he definitely does not.

Equal is an illusion. There is no equal.

Working to ensure everyone is treated equally as far as justice or opportunity is not the same as people actually being equal.
