November 2016 Trump’s appointments
The
‘basket full of deplorables’ is filling up rapidly.
Much
to the collective dismay of Democrats and some Republican strategists
President-elect Trump appointed a nationalist and racist, Stephen Bannon, to a
top White House position.
As
the chairman of Breitbart News, Bannon has consistently spewed his
anti-Semitic, racist and white nationalist ideology.
His
appointment was severely castigated by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which
called for Trump to reject Bannon’s appointment. This view was further
amplified by John Weaver, a Republican strategist who warned “be very vigilant,
America.”
Jewish
leaders also expressed dismay at anti-Semitic writings on the Breitbart website
and similar comments he made about students at his daughter’s school.
One possible saving grace in
Bannon’s appointment is his animus to the mainstream Republican Party for
denigrating Trump supporters as the“vulgarians, the hobbits” and “the peasants with the pitchforks.”
What
is perhaps even more vexing is Trump’s denial of climate change which is
threatening the very survival of the planet as he has vowed to cancel the Paris
climate agreement and stop all payments of U.S. tax
dollars to U.N. global warming programs."
