Trump makes the racist Great Replacement Theory official U.S. policy

Trump did it with the nation’s official National Security Strategy report that was published late last night on the White House website. Trump’s staggeringly ignorant and juvenile introduction to the document is on White House stationery. It is enough to turn your stomach and make you cry for your country.

When you think of the world’s top racist documents, you have to begin with Hitler’s “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” formulated at the Wannsee Conference in 1942 outlining the Nazi plan to exterminate the entire Jewish race. In our own country, we have the statements of secession from the 11 southern states in 1860 and 1861, each of which included declarations of white supremacy and sworn statements supporting slavery.

But this piece of shit put out by Donald Trump is right up there. It is no secret that Trump is a racist to his core. He began his political career promoting the lie that Barack Obama was not born in this country and was thus ineligible to be president of the United States. His racist tweets and posts on Truth Social and remarks to reporters in interviews are legion. He embraced the torch-carrying racists shouting “Jews will not replace us” at the 2018 Charlottesville march in support of a statue of Robert E. Lee. He has promoted outright white supremacist Holocaust deniers like Nick Fuentes and come right out and endorsed the “great replacement theory” promoted by racist prep-monsters like Tucker Carlson.

Trump has now formulated a new racism expressed in this document as “civilizational.” He states outright that Europe and our NATO allies are facing “civilizational erasure” by allowing immigration from other countries that go unnamed but are clearly not “European.” This is formulating the Great Replacement Theory as U.S. national policy.

“Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less.” He means Europe will lose its white identity. “We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence,” the document states. “To remain European” isn’t even code. It’s an outright call for white supremacy on the European continent and a threat to withdraw U.S. support because of European “migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.”

“Cratering birthrates” isn’t code either to the mouth-breathers this document is intended for. He refers to births of white babies, not births in general. Trump’s “free speech” means keep your fucking mouth shut unless you’re praising me.

Trump is taking the same strategy he has used to attack colleges in this country and applied it to international relations. In this country, he wants education his way. Overseas, he wants his allies his way. He wants to end the war in Ukraine his way, so that his American oligarch pals get rich and his friend Putin gets more of Ukraine for free.

Trump used to attack European countries for not paying what he thought were NATO dues, for sponging off the U.S. defense budget. Now he has admitted the truth. His unhappiness with NATO is racist. For Trump and adherents to his cause, European nations have become insufficiently white. Trump’s national security strategy supports “unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history.” That would be the kind of lily-white history he wants taught in American schools and universities.

It comes as no surprise to learn that it will be U.S. strategy to support so-called “patriotic European parties,” for which we should read the overtly racist Nazi-worshipping Alternative For Germany political party that Vice President Vance praised so effusively in February that he practically drooled down his shirt at the Munich Security Conference.

I have to tell you that as the grandson of one of the men who served with General Eisenhower and General Marshall who authored the plan that rebuilt Europe and established the NATO alliance that has kept Europe free of war until Putin attacked Ukraine four years ago, it brings bile up my throat to read garbage like Trump posted in the name of the United States of America last night. This document, in 29 short pages that read like they came straight from a Stephen Miller fever dream, has denigrated and belittled the legacy of the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who gave their lives to free Europe from the kind of absolutist, murderous, racist thought embodied by Adolph Hitler. With the messy strokes of Trump’s signature, he has endorsed that thought and brought disgrace to our country and stomped all over everything we have ever stood for.

This shameful document has ended our leadership of the free world. The American century is dead. So is the America we knew before Donald Trump. Europe is on its own. So are we.
