Donald Trump humiliates Sikh protester in Iowa, ridicules turban for ‘hat’

The braggadocio of businessman Donald Trump knows no bounds apparently. He’s the antithetical element in the presidential race, the candidate who instead of trying to spread the message of peace and harmony to bring together communities in America, knows to a perfection how to irrevocably humiliate minorities, especially Muslims, and distance himself from liberal minded folks.

Trump, has of course, also promised to deport 11 million or 15 million Mexicans back to Mexico, force a highly penitent Mexico thereafter to pay for thousands-mile-long border wall that is going to be as historic as the Great Wall of China. Needless to say, Mexicans don’t exactly throw roses at him in euphoria when he speaks.

On Sunday, in Iowa, Trump added the Sikh community in his growing list of despicable people living in the US, or conversely, in his case, the new community who can detest him only at the danger of providing him with perverse chance to laugh into their faces with an ‘I don’t give a damn’ attitude. A Sikh man, wearing a red turban, and carrying a placard, ‘Stop Hate’ was thrown out of a Trump event at Muscatine High School. Trump looked at the silent Sikh protestor, who complied with security, for long seconds as he was led off.

After the adoring crowd broke into raucous chants of “U.S.A., U.S.A.,” with the Sikh protester ejected, Trump smirked a bit, maybe might have been reminded of some other encounters in the past with Sikhs, friends or foes alike, made a quip about the Sikh man’s turban: “He wasn’t wearing one of those hats was he?” referring to his campaign’s trademark ‘Make America Great Again’ hats, which are red in color, the same color as the turban the Sikh protestor was wearing.

Add Sikhs to Mexican and Muslims as "others" whom Trump and his supporters despise.

It says a lot about a campaign when it has to eject someone for holding a "Stop Hate" sign.

1. Can't have a "Stop Hate" sign because they know that's what they are doing...

It's just like the racists who get offended when you correctly label them as racists.

Trump and the Politics of Paranoia

But was Mario right? In America, politicians very often campaign on fear. And when that fear is stoked to irrational levels, it has a clinical name - paranoia.

Fifty years ago in a classic essay, American political scientist Richard Hofstadter, explored the Paranoid Style - "an old and recurrent phenomenon in our public life which has been frequently linked with movements of suspicious discontent". In this documentary, Michael Goldfarb looks at the history of America's politics of paranoia backwards from Donald Trump's current campaign through the McCarthy era to the foundation era of the US and fears of Freemasons and the Illuminati seizing control of the government.

Using archive recordings and readings, as well as interviews with leading historians and political operatives, Goldfarb explains how exploiting irrational fear became a major part of American politics.

The Mad World of Donald Trump

Matt Frei enters the world of presidential hopeful Donald Trump, whose meteoric political rise comes amid one of the most controversial political campaigns America has ever seen. Trump's plans to ban all Muslims from entering the States and to build a wall to keep Mexican immigrants out have outraged many in the States and beyond. This documentary aims to discover the man behind the brand. Frei is also on the campaign trail, meeting those who oppose Trump as well as his fervent supporters who believe he is the epitome of American success. Leading the polls for the Republican presidential nomination, Frei asks if he can really go all the way and make it to the White House

3. These Trump followers

always chant "USA, USA" whenever some minority gets kicked out. They should be chanting, "White Supremacy, White supremacy!"

12. What an asshat!

As are any and all of his "acolytes," who laugh at his "funnies," cheer for his narrow-mindedness, revel in the juvenile humor that seems to be his stock in trade. Sad, so sad, that so much of America has been reduced to grade-school jokes and name-calling. Is there any hope for this country?
