      Listening to NPR this morning I heard a GOP Congressman defending Trump's statement as not racist. What many people are missing is this weekend's recent tweets connection to the "shithole" remark he made a few months back. That is the the essence of his RACIST ethnocentrism. He sees every third world country as an "undesirable" element in his view of the world as a proud nationalistic elitist.Especially those countries where the color of their skin is not lilly white and his base here at home loves him for it and losing this base, strikes fear in the hearts of the GOP. 
      This is our country we are talking about...The United States...which has always reached out a hand in compassion to those that needed it around the world but now these same countries are deemed unworthy and should learn to pull themselves up by their "boot straps". It all reminds me of the movie re-make of "The Twilight Zone" in 1983 when Vic Marrow played a man with the mind set of Trump who upon leaving a bar suddenly found himself in the identity of the target of every racist rant he had spewed about. I would only wish the same karma for those with such hateful agendas that we are now seeing on the national stage.
