"Look how bad it is getting! How much more crime, how many more shootings, will it take for African-Americans and Latinos to vote Trump=SAFE!"
— @realDonaldTrump
Why it stinks: Donald Trump thinks he knows what the American people want, but he has no idea when it comes to what matters most to "minorities." The Republican presidential nominee and businessman has repeatedly incited international political chaos and encouraged the normalization of hate groups. Whether he is declaring a "temporary" ban on Muslims immigrating into the country, isolating the United States from Mexico by building a wall, degrading an entire race by referring to Mexicans as drug dealers and rapists, tweeting false stats about black crime, or refusing entry to thousands of Syrian refugees, Trump does not make Americans in need feel safe. He makes those in power feel superior.
