"Demagogue: a leader who makes use of popular prejudices, false claims & promises in order to gain power". (Mirriam-Webster) They typically select minority group to whip up anger (blacks, Jews...). Trump is obsessed w immigrants way out of proportion to impact. @ScottAdamsSays

Isn't going to the dictionary and arguing the meaning of words a prime example of

I'm not arguing about the meaning of words, just presenting it. Trump's behavior with regard to immigrants is way out of proportion to their impact on our society. This is the behavior of a demagogue. You can assess for yourself whether the term fits.

Agreed about the term "obsessed". But he does speak about immigrants a LOT, way out of proportion to their actual impact on our society, and it does whip up emotions.

This guy is way off base. It is just the opposite. The Dems are the one whipping up prejudices. This guy needs to come out of the darkness and into the light.

He launched his campaign with exaggerations and lies about immigrants. Immigration became his signature issue. He has shut down the government over a border wall. He used lies about immigrant caravans as a mid term election technique. “Obsessed” isn’t exactly inaccurate

Wonderful
@ScottAdamsSays. You’d think clearly smart people would avoid hyperbole like that in an otherwise good observation. Also, to avoid clear partisan msg (thus ignored), use a second use-case from the other “tribe”. No lack of examples.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
