They're ALL rapists... right?
What Trump didn't say
On the list of 28 statements, two were decisively not said by Trump. Eight were paraphrased from similar comments the president made, but he did not say them explicitly.
'White power'
There is no record of the president saying "white power." He did come under fire in June for sharing a video to Twitter in which a Trump supporter was heard shouting those words at counter protesters. The tweet was deleted three hours after it was posted, the Washington Post reported.

'Send her back'
Trump also did not say "send her back," in reference to Somali-born Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar. At a 2019 campaign rally in North Carolina, supporters in the crowd began to chant those words. There's no evidence Trump tried to stop the chants - although he says he did - but he never joined in. He later disavowed the language.
At a different point, he did post on Twitter that a group of "progressive Democrat congresswomen" - most likely referring to Omar and other progressive colleagues often dubbed "the Squad" - could "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."
'Where's his birth certificate?'
There's no record of Trump using this exact language. Still, he did question the authenticity of President Barack Obama's birth certificate, raising questions of his place of birth and religion, before flipping in 2016 and saying he believes Obama was born in the U.S. "Why doesn't he show his birth certificate? There's something on that birth certificate that he doesn't
like," Trump said on ABC's "The View" in 2011, according to CNN.
'Dumb Don Lemon made LeBron look smart'
The president tweeted a comment similar to this in 2018 after CNN anchor Don Lemon interviewed NBA star LeBron James about a school he opened in Cleveland. However, Trump never called Lemon "Dumb Don Lemon" precisely. Here's what he said: "LeBron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made LeBron look smart, which isn't easy to do. I like Mike!"
In the interview, Lemon asked James what he'd say to Trump if he were sitting across from him, to which James responded he would never sit across from him. Lemon responded to Trump's tweet saying he "traffics in racism and is fueled by bullying."
'My impeachment = lynching.'
The president described his impeachment probe as a "lynching" in October 2019, the Washington Post reported. He did not say the two were "equal."
'Let's shoot migrants! I want an electric wall! A snake and alligator filled moat!'
Trump did not say these phrases all at once, as the post presents them. But the New York Times reported in 2019 that he suggested each idea at some point in March of that year as a way to slow down immigration.
'Suburban housewives: Low income housing will invade your neighborhood.'
The president tweeted a similar comment in August, conflating an increase in low income housing with a lack of safety. Here's what he said exactly: "The 'suburban housewife' will be voting for me. They want safety & are thrilled that I ended the long running program where low income housing would invade their neighborhood."
'Mexican rapists'
Trump made a similar comment in 2015, when he announced that he was launching his presidential bid. "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," he said. "... They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
'The 1619 Project is poison and child abuse.'
Trump said that the New York Times' "1619 Project" is "ideological poison" and that teaching it is "form of child abuse in the truest sense of those words" in September, according to White House records. Again, the post's language does not quote Trump directly.
'Low IQ refugees'
Just last week, another comment made by Trump made news as being racially insensitive. The post alleges Trump used the phrase "low IQ refugees," but there's more to the story than that.
During the immigration section of the presidential debate in Nashville, Trump criticized Democratic candidate Joe Biden over the Obama administration's catch and release policy.
"When you say they come back, they don't come back, Joe. They never come
back," he said, according to USA TODAY's transcript. "Only the really - I hate to say this - but those with the lowest IQ, they might come back." Trump did not say all refugees are low IQ as the post insinuates.
Disputed comments
For four of the comments listed on the post, there's not enough evidence to determine whether Trump really said them.
'S-hole countries'
During immigration talks in the Oval Office in 2018, Trump reportedly resorted to using crude descriptors for Haiti, El Salvador and some African countries, the Washington Post reported. In the conversation, held between Trump and several congressmen, the president allegedly called those countries "s-hole countries."
Two of the congressmen at the meeting said they didn't remember the president using those words and one refused to say one way or another, USA TODAY reported. Another didn't deny Trump used the words, and one, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, said that he did. Trump denied using the language.

'They all have AIDS' and 'go back to their huts'
A year prior, in 2017, the New York Times reported on two of the comments at hand - that Trump said during a session with his national security team that all Haitians "have AIDS" and that once Nigerian immigrants had seen the U.S. they would never "go back to their huts."
The sources the Times cited were anonymous staffers who had either attended the meeting or been briefed on it, according to the report. The White House did not deny the "overall description" of the meeting, but "strenuously insisted" Trump never used the words "AIDS" or "huts" in reference to people from any country, the Times report said.
'Laziness is a trait in Blacks'
The final unverified statement attributed to Trump - that he said "laziness is a trait in Blacks" - was published in the 1991 book "Trumped!", written by a former employee of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, John R. O'Donnell. There has been no verification of the statement outside the book's claim. The Washington Post described the phrase as "a second hand quote, made in a private conversation and written some years after the fact" and said it should be viewed with "some skepticism."
Trump did not dispute the quote when asked about it in 1997, but denied it two years later in an interview on "Meet the Press."
=====
STILL can't understand why liberal Democrats are so in love with Muslims.
Muslims are against abortion.
Muslims are against contraception.
Muslims are against pre-marital sex.
Muslims are FOR killing homosexuals.
Muslims are FOR treating women as slaves and chattel.
Muslims are FOR their old men raping little boys.
So, if Muslims hold these ideals, why do you Democrats LOVE Muslims, but hate Christians? See [1].
Muslims HATE you.
Am I leaving anything else out that you just LOVE about Muslims?
[1] Oh yeah... Obama is a Muslim, so all is forgiven?
