Trump Mocks Sikh Protestor at Rally

This video comes from the 26th of last month – January, 2016. It shows Donald Trump sneering at a Sikh protestor wearing a turban and holding a banner saying, ‘End Hate’. The guy is grabbed by Trump’s stewards and guided – or manhandled, depending on your point of view – towards the exit. As he goes, Trump asks ‘Was he wearing one of those hats?’ It appears to be a reference to the guy’s turban, which Sikhs wear for the same reason they don’t cut their hair and have beards: it’s part of their religion.

The incident occurs just when Trump is in full-flow about the al-Qaeda terrorists in 9/11 flying the planes into the Twin Towers. I’m not sure this is a coincidence. In Britain, the first victims of the backlash against Muslims after 9/11 were Sikhs, because Osama bin Laden was wearing a turban in his propaganda video. It looks like Trump’s expanding his racism to encompass Sikhs, as well as Muslims, Mexicans, Blacks and just about everyone else who ever looked at him funny, or gave The Apprentice a bad review.

The gentleman who posted this on his channel on Youtube in voiceover talks about why electing Trump would be an appalling move. Basically, Trump is a buffoon, who has offended every other nation except Putin. He points out that even we Brits are thinking about banning him. ‘The Brits!’, he exclaims, ‘they never ban anybody!’ We do. Quite a long line of ’em, actually, including Lincoln Rockwell of the American Nazi party and Michael Savage, for the same reason. Quite apart from the Islamist fanatics and hate-mongers. The commenter asks how Trump is going to be able to sit down with the other nations at international conferences. He fears that other countries will think Americans are the same as this moron, if he’s elected, and says jokingly that everyone will try and nuke them. That’s actually part of the danger. As he says in rather more colourful language, Trump is emotionally volatile and unstable and is extremely antagonistic to people he feels have offended him. It’s a psychological failing that could make a diplomatic crisis worse, and escalate minor friction or difference of opinion into something much worse.

The actual clip of Trump throwing the protestor out is only a few seconds long, so there’s other shots in here of Trump looking ridiculous, including some splendid footage of his blonde coiffure waving in the breeze. The man’s a grim bigot, but like all massive egos obsessed with their self-importance, he’s also a comic figure as well. Don’t be mistaken: he is extremely dangerous, but he’s also someone who can and should be mocked and ridiculed.

    Trump is extremely dangerous for if he becomes President, his unstable behaviour and his outlandish statements could be the final tipping point to WWIII.
