Donald Trump humiliates Sikh protester in Iowa, ridicules turban for ‘hat’ [View all]

Source: American Bazaar

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.
