The attacks were on immigrants, period.
Post an example of Trump attacking all immigrants.
Remember Bannon talking about Asian immigrant tech CEOs being a problem.
We were talking about Donald Trump's statements, not Steven Bannon's statements.
And the identity he was focusing on was "white." The idea is to get people to identify as "white" rather than American.
That's your idea of what Trump thinks. Post an example of Donald Trump saying anything about that.
Hmm. He promised that he'd “liberate our citizens from the crime and terrorism and lawlessness that threatens their communities." And there's this: “Our president … has made America a more dangerous environment than frankly I have ever seen, and anybody in this room, has ever watched or seen." He tried to tie an imaginary crime wave to "this administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement" (also imaginary).
The first statement does not imply a "crime wave".
The second statement is ripped out of context. That part of the inauguration speech referred to Obama's rhetoric on BLM and police brutality toward African Americans:
An attack on law enforcement is an attack on all Americans.
I have a message to every last person threatening the peace on our streets and the safety of our police: When I take the oath of office next year, I will restore law and order to our country. Believe me. Believe me.
I will work with, and appoint, the best prosecutors and law enforcement officials in the country to get the job properly done. In this race for the White House, I am the law And order candidate.
The irresponsible rhetoric of our President, who has used the pulpit of the presidency to divide us by race and color, has made America a more dangerous environment for everyone than frankly I have ever seen and anybody in this room has ever watched or seen. This Administration has failed America’s inner cities. Remember: it has failed America's inner cities.
From that same speech, he noted:
These are the facts:
Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this Administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement. Homicides last year increased by 17% in America’s fifty largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. They are up nearly 60% in nearby Baltimore.
In the President’s hometown of Chicago, more than 2,000 have been the victims of shootings this year alone. And more than 3,600 almost 4,000 have been killed in the Chicago area since he took office.
The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has risen by almost 50% compared to this point last year. Nearly 180,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records, ordered deported from our country, are tonight roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens.
The number of new illegal immigrant families who have crossed the border so far this year already exceeds the entire total from 2015. They are being released by the tens of thousands into our communities with no regard for the impact on public safety or resources. One such border-crosser was released and made his way to Nebraska. There, he ended the life of an innocent young girl named Sarah Root. She was 21-years-old, and was killed the day after graduating from college with a 4.0 Grade Point Average. Number one in her class. Her killer was then released a second time, and he is now a fugitive from the law.
I’ve met Sarah’s beautiful family. But to this administration, their amazing daughter was just one more American life that wasn’t worth protecting. No more. One more child to sacrifice on the altar of open borders.

In summary, I think you were wrong to say that Trump claimed were experiencing a "crime wave".
