One who has no understanding of the words patriotism or loyalty. One who should be forced to seek his sustenance from the world and forced to wander the world, with no country to call his own. One who should not be in positions of power or allowed to speak or teach his ignorance on the world stage. A dangerous person not to be trusted with govt or military secrets or allowed to teach their Citizens of the World fool philosophy to young people. The foreign black he seeks the acceptance of laughs at him behind his back, while he takes his money to uplift his own community.

He has made it clear he will pass no policy that addresses black economic issues, and will put none of our own tax dollars into helping us, and he encourages our wealthy to help everyone but their own community. Now that is what you call a Trojan Horse at its best.
