Donald Trump’s campaign is reaching new heights of racism in the days leading up to the Super Tuesday primaries.
Trumps overt racism was on full display during his June 16, 2015 campaign announcement speech when he lashed out at Mexicans.
Trump’s immigration plan calls for the deportation of the approximately 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., the erection of a substantial wall on the Mexico – United States border and has called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States, citing links between Muslims and terrorism.
Trump has been described by his political opponents as “divisive,” “unserious,” and a “bully.”
This week, USA Today reports that “About 30 black students who were standing silently at the top of the bleachers at Donald Trump’s rally [in Valdosta, Georgia] Monday night were escorted out by Secret Service agents who said the presidential candidate had requested their removal before he began speaking.”
“The sight of the students, who were visibly upset, being led outside by law enforcement officials created a stir at a university that was a whites-only campus until 1963,” according to the USA Today report.
They also posted a video showing tearful students discussing the incident.
“We didn’t plan to do anything,” said a tearful Tahjila Davis, a 19-year-old mass media major, who was among the Valdosta State University students who was removed. “They said, ‘This is Trump’s property; it’s a private event.’ But I paid my tuition to be here.”

Yahoo News posted a video late Monday of Trump harassing a protester during a rally in Radford, Virginia earlier in the day.
“Donald J. Trump repeatedly asks protester if she’s from Mexico, then calls for her removal from campaign event … ‘Out! Out! Out! Out!'” they posted along with the clip.
This all comes in the wake of Trump’s attempts to “clean up a racially charged controversy Monday after he refused to disavow former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke over the weekend.”
Time will tell where this all will lead, but if anything – he seems to be acting more racist and indignant with each passing day.
