If I were Donald J. Trump, and I really wanted to be president again, this is the campaign ad that I would make.
Imagine the candidate staring into the camera and saying this.
Did you know that on its first day in office, the Biden-Harris administration issued an executive order telling the entire federal government, including the armed services and all contractors, that it's okay to teach that white people are inherently racist.
That it's okay to discriminate against white people.
That it's okay to make white people feel guilty because they're white.
And to make them pay for things white people who are long dead did in the past.
Biden and Harris said it's okay to teach that white people invented the idea of meritocracy as an excuse to hold everyone else down.
I bet you didn't know they did that.
Kamala sure isn't talking about it on the campaign trail.
But she and Joe must have felt this was awfully important for it to be the first thing Joe signed the very day he walked into the White House.
You might think about that when you cast your vote.
Now that would not be an appeal only to white people.
Plenty of non-whites would think these ideas are outrageous.
But Donald Trump won't make that ad.
He doesn't have it in him.
The fact is...
Hardly anyone knows about that Biden executive order.
It was number 13985, and it had a puffed-up name, advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government.
It did all sorts of DEI mischief, and did not explicitly do the awful things I've just mentioned.
However, it said, Executive Order 13950 of September 22, 2020 is hereby revoked.
This is the order it revoked, combating race and sex stereotyping.
It was issued by Donald Trump very late in his turn.
The idea was to stop teaching critical race theory in the federal government.
It did this by banning what it called divisive concepts, which are the central ideas of CRT.
Here are the banned divisive concepts that no government employee or contractor was to teach or to be taught.
One race or sex is inherently superior to another.
The order talks about race and sex, and it does not specifically talk about white people or men, but we know they are the targets of CRT.
This distinction would have been too complicated to explain in a campaign ad.
Next. The United States is fundamentally racist or sexist, and an individual by virtue of his or her race or sex is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive.
It goes on.
An individual should be discriminated against because of his or her race or sex.
And here's more good stuff.
An individual's moral character is necessarily determined by his or her race or sex.
There are items about making people feel guilty because of their race or sex, or making them pay for what their race or sex did in the past.
And here's another good one.
Meritocracy, or traits such as a hard work ethic, are racist or sexist, or were created by a particular race to oppress another race.
Mr. Trump's order not only said, don't you dare teach any of that stuff, it also gave all federal agencies 90 days to file a report on the contents of all the diversity and inclusion training they were doing, including how much
they paid to private sector diversity gurus
I suspect no report was ever filed, because 44 days after the order went out, Mr. Trump lost the election.
This ad is just my unsolicited advice to the Trump campaign, advice I'm sure it won't take.
