    Trump’s real endgame: A white nationalist media empire?
    Has Donald Trump given up on winning the White House and “pivoted” (this might be his real pivot) to a full-blown effort to build a national following that will outlast the election, perhaps allowing him to establish a media empire with him at the helm — one that caters, at least to some degree, to a white nationalist or “alt-right” audience? Was that his plan all along?
    ....
    Now, admittedly, all of this is still speculative. And I hesitate to ascribe grand and clever schemes to Trump, because the more prosaic reality could be simply that he is making all of this up as he goes along. But this possibility is worth taking seriously, if only because it could have untold longer term consequences.

    As the article states, this is all speculation, but I definitely see it as a possibility.

    As I said to FO:

    The fact they didn't know whether she was illegal or not is irrelevant as to whether it was racism. The main immigration problem we have is illegal hispanics. So if you were going to direct this toward someone and didn't know, logically it would be a Hispanic.

    I'll take this a step further and put it under the category of "we know this is what happened because we saw it on the internet." And of course we know CNN would thoroughly vet this story, right?

    How do we know the waitress didn't write it? Take a look at this receipt. The note and the sig, well you be the judge:

    Let me add this: It did have to do with race for the reason I said. But the underlying motive wasn't racism if indeed this story actually happened the way it is being reported.

    Yeah, liberals frequently LIE to make those that disagree with them look like they are attacking minorities.

    A black lady recently did this exact same thing and got caught and once the truth came out the media dropped it cause it did not play into their racist narrative.... their racism against white people.

    In today's society, if you do not support people being able to come in to this country at will, ignoring our immigration laws... you are a racist.

    Since trump does not support illegal immigration, that makes him a racist as far as the liberal media is concerned and the majority of this nation's citizens are so stupid to actually believe the liberal media... they think it's true.

    Don't get on me when I say this nation is not going to be saved... not when the majority of people are in opposition to God and in agreement with humanism that drives liberalism.

    I don't know about Trump but the fact that those people could afford to call her a non-citizen without having any clue whether she was or not tells me that they don't really care and that all latinos - at least of a certain status - are "non-citizens" in their eyes. If it had been solely about non-citizenship then they would have bothered to inquire about that so as not to make the mistake of treating a citizen like that, seeing that race had nothing to do with it.

    Unless the bill was tampered with, as you talked about above.

    How do you know they don;t know? Frequently, non-citizens talk about stuff like this openly so people may have knowledge that they aren't citizens.

    The fact is we do not know what these people knew, or if the hispanics are here legally or not.

    Well the waitress is definitely American. She was born here.

    Well I did find this just now. If I'm reading this right the person that signed it is saying she didn't write the comment:

    "The way I understand it, the woman who signed the receipt is at the restaurant this very second with the police," he said Thursday afternoon. "She's angry and the police are there. Apparently, she just signed the receipt. She didn't write the comment."

    So now we have a she said/she said.

    But I stand by what I said. Even if true, the judgment was definitely based on race because Hispanic illegal immigration is the main illegal immigration in our country. But it isn't racist. A determination of something can be based on race without being racist, as in this case.
