In trump's America, women will have lots of kids, right? Hahahaha!!!

When discussing population dynamics, I have often asked students about the number of children of the recent US presidents.

Obama?

Two.

The president before him?

Bush. Two.

Before him?

Clinton. One.

I then ask them if they didn't have more kids because they could not afford too many children.

Of course not!

They didn't keep trying until they had a boy?  I mean, all girls?  A chuckle.

I would then ask them if they know how rich Bill Gates is.  We would laugh.  I would follow up with a silly question: Is he rich enough to afford to have, say, twenty kids?  But, he does not, right?

The point the exercise would lead to is this: Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton, had careers independent of their husbands.  And almost always, the world over, as women get educated and start working outside their homes, well, they don't have too many kids.

I have stopped doing this routine. For an obvious reason.  President donald t. rump!  I don't ever want to talk about him or his children!

I am not sure if trump understands such things, and whether his base does either.  Because, if they did, they will seriously worry about their tough stand against immigration.  But then, 63 million voters for this guy.  I mean, this guy!

The latest reports are that fertility rates are continuing to fall in the US.

Fertility rates have been dropping for all race and ethnic groups, with the largest drop occurring among Hispanic women.

Yes, Hispanics, too, that trump and his base love to beat up on (literally?)

With such a trend, of course the white supremacists come out in full swing.  Iowa's steve king goes full blast white nationalist and talks about the "great replacement" of whites with, gasp, browns.  And that too Muslims.

He talked fearfully of falling fertility rates in the West and spoke at length about his belief that Europe and America are threatened by Muslim and Latino immigration.
“If we don’t defend Western civilization, then we will become subjugated by the people who are the enemies of faith, the enemies of justice,” King said.
The interview is remarkable, capturing a sitting U.S. congressman completely fluent in modern white nationalist talking points just weeks before an election he is favored to win

Yes, he is "favored" to win.  Despite, or because of, such white nationalist hatred in, you know, the heartland, where real Americans live!

king, who represents one of the reddest districts in America, has beaten his Democratic opponents by more than 20 points in the past five elections.

Like I have said for a while, trump's language of hatred directed at non-whites and non-Christians is not new; the GOP has been at it for a long time.  trump merely removed the euphemisms and mainstreamed it.

I suppose he has done his part to "save" the whites and his civilization by having five children that we know of, with three different women, of whom only one was born in America.
