Trump: anti-Denali and full of racist imagery

trump1

Presidential candidate and National Idiot Donald Trump recently stated that changing the US government’s official name of the continent’s highest mountain from McKinley to Denali (which is what all the locals call it anyway) was “a great insult to Ohio”  – apparently because white people name other people’s lands after some random person that was born 3,000 miles away and that’s important to them.   More obviously, the Alaskans don’t count.  He said he would change the name back.  This is classic trump, ignoring the existence of other people.

Trump’s willingness to use racial stereotypes to motivate white audiences is well-known. Here are a few examples regarding Native Americans from his past business dealings.
