Trump told crowd of nearly all white supporters they have ‘good genes’ – Business Insider
President Donald Trump on Friday told a crowd of nearly all white supporters in Minnesota that they have “good genes” and referenced the “racehorse theory,” or the belief that some people are born genetically superior.
“You have good genes, you know that, right? You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn’t it, don’t you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we’re so different? You have good genes in Minnesota,” Trump said to his supporters in a state where many people are of Scandinavian descent.
Minnesota is roughly 79% white, and the crowd on Friday appeared to reflect that.
At other points in the rally, Trump disparaged refugees and applauded the fact a reporter was recently struck in the knee with a rubber bullet fired by police.
ugh.
