'It’s more anti-orange': Trump trolled as he claimed there's a 'definite' anti-White bias sweeping the US

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Former president Donald Trump has reignited controversy with his recent remarks regarding what he perceives as a surge in anti-White sentiment in the United States.

In an interview with Time magazine published on April 30, Trump asserted that there is a "definite anti-white feeling" sweeping the nation, a statement that has drawn criticism from various quarters.

Donald Trump alleges bias and unfairness

Donald Trump, 77, addressed a range of topics during the interview, including his views on the Biden administration, loyalty among political allies, and his proposed approach to immigration.

He expressed concern about polls showing most of his supporters think “anti-White racism now represents a greater problem in the country than anti-Black racism.”

“Oh, I think that there is a lot to be said about that,” the 45th president told the magazine. “If you look at the Biden administration, they’re sort of against anybody depending on certain views," he added.

“They’re against Catholics. They’re against a lot of different people,” Trump continued, before adding, “They actually don’t even know what they’re against, but they’re against a lot. But no, I think there is a definite anti-white feeling in this country and that can’t be allowed either.”

When questioned about how he would address this perceived bias, Trump suggested that it wouldn't be a difficult issue to tackle. 

“I don’t think it would be a very tough thing to address, frankly. But I think the laws are very unfair right now. And education is being very unfair, and it’s being stifled. But I don’t think it’s going to be a big problem at all," he explained. “But if you look right now, there’s absolutely a bias against white and that’s a problem.”

A contrast in leadership styles

In addition to discussing racial tensions, Donald Trump took a jab at Joe Biden's leadership style, contrasting it with his own. He criticized the President for retaining individuals Trump deemed unfit for their roles, particularly citing the case of General Mark Milley over Afghanistan.

“Biden’s a very different kind of a guy than me,” he insisted.

“He keeps bad people. For instance, when you had Afghanistan, he kept [then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark] Milley. Milley should have been fired immediately … I did fire people, I fired a lot of people. Now I let them quit because, you know, I have a heart. I don’t want to embarrass anybody. But almost every one of those people were fired by me,” Trump added.

“Working for Biden is very easy,” Trump further mused, continuing, “He never fires anybody. He should fire everybody having to do with Afghanistan. He should fire everybody having to do with the border. I would have fired everybody and it would have been a big story.” 

Advocating for mass deportation

Donald Trump also elaborated on his immigration policies, advocating for a mass deportation campaign targeting illegal immigrants, which he deemed necessary for the country's sustainability.

“I don’t believe this is sustainable for a country, what’s happening to us, with probably 15 million and maybe as many as 20 million by the time Biden’s out,” he said. “Twenty million people, many of them from jails, many of them from prisons, many of them from mental institutions. I mean, you see what’s going on in Venezuela and other countries. They’re becoming a lot safer.”

Drawing parallels with deportation efforts under the Eisenhower administration, he emphasized the role of local law enforcement in executing such measures. "We have to do this," Trump asserted, adding, "This is not a sustainable problem for our country."

Regarding the logistics of such a campaign, Trump acknowledged potential resistance from state and local jurisdictions but hinted at leveraging federal funding to incentivize cooperation.

He did not rule out the possibility of employing regular military forces if the situation demanded it and expressed openness to establishing new migrant detention facilities if deemed necessary.

“When we talk military, generally speaking, I talk National Guard … But if I thought things were getting out of control, I would have no problem using the military, per se,” Trump added.

Donald Trump faces social media backlash

Critics of Donald Trump on social media, however, took issue with his claim that there's a "definite" bias against White Americans in the country.

"It’s more anti-orange," one social media user wrote on X.

"In related news, @realDonaldTrump is delusional," another said.

"Time for the whites to march in the streets. Wearing white sheets if possible," someone else chimed in.

"Go back to Europe!" another fumed.

"He did nothing about it his first term," one individual wrote.
