Republicans argue that Donald Trump is an equal opportunity offender, that the list of individuals the president has publicly insulted in speeches and on Twitter spans the gamut and crosses party lines, gender lines and racial lines.

While it is true that Trump is notoriously thin-skinned and reflexively attacks anyone who criticizes him, he reserves his most vitriolic rhetoric for people of color.

Trump’s base finds it amusing when their false Messiah ridicules a celebrity like Rosie O’Donnell or Cher, but they practically have an orgasm when he mocks a prominent black politician, entertainer or journalist.

This weekend the racist-in-chief viciously attacked Elijah Cummings, the African American chair of the House oversight committee who is a prominent critic of the president.  

In a classic example of projection Trump called Cummings “a brutal bully” for, he said, “shouting and screaming at the great men of Border Patrol about conditions at the southern border.

The stable genius also said that Cummings’ Baltimore district is “a disgusting rat and rodent infested mess.” Of course, Trump’s followers interpreted that screed to mean that the African Americans in the district are the rats. At least Trump restrained himself from saying that Cummings’ district was a shithole.

Characteristically, the fucking moron also advocated an investigation of the widely respected representative. Trump is never content with just insulting a political foe, he threatens to sue them and launch investigations against them.

Trump’s vitriolic attacks against the four Democratic congresswomen of color, and now the baseless attack on Cummings cement the fact that he’s a blatant racist.
