I mean the guy launched his political career over racist conspiracies with Obama
If you ignore his original
griftrun for president in 2000 as a Reform Party member.
Not exactly a great strategy to win over black voters…
The man has zero strategy beyond spewing bullshit and seeing what sticks.
I can’t believe there are Black and Latinos voting for this orange turd. And some of them are my ignorant immigrant family. Like, hello??
Ignorant racists with a poor understanding of government and history come in all colors.
Latinos, especially older ones that escaped authoritarian regimes that pretend to be communist, I get. They are terrified of communists and socialists, which is how the Republicans paint Democrats. It’s almost like triggering PTSD for some of those folks.
Yeah, and I wish that were it! Honestly. I totally get it, too. But in our case, my die-hard MAGAt aunt and her son both crossed the border illegally. They’re not old or uneducated. Our government has never been authoritarian or communist during her lifetime. Like, she even has another gay son, ffs. I don’t get it. lol
He’s not hoping to win them over, but to discourage them from voting at all.
“I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country, I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country,” Trump said.
He’s a parody of himself. If there wasn’t a real threat behind his existence, I’d happily do nothing but laugh at the ridiculousness of his claims.
Are you referring to the good ole days? Back when Bernie was getting the shaft and it was impossible for Trump to win office?
I doubt that I’d have believed the outcome.
I like how he said there were “black jobs.” I guarantee you that before someone asked him what black jobs were, he was thinking of things like doorman, shoe-shine boy, bellhop, maid…
Being falsely convicted of a crime in central park…
To acknowledge your comment, to Trump being black in NYC meant that you were guilty.
…slave
Sorry. That’s politically incorrect. The appropriate term for the modern age is “convicted prisoner”
Does that mean Trump is half Black?
Funny you say that.
I was in a nasty argument with my mom last night about her use of the racist slur “illegals”. I told her that people can’t be illegal. She replied that shes not a racist and that they’re illegal because they broke the law. I shot back, “oh, so, since you got that speeding ticket, that makes you an illegal?” “No! They committed a felony!” So I said, “oh, so Trump is a 34 times illegal then?”
She said, “that’s different!”
“Why? Because he’s white? See, that’s why you’re racist.”
She screamed, “fuck you!” and hung up the phone.
That means you won. Congrats!
Sorry, yo. Good job on keeping it real
She texted me later, saying I was following a “Marxist script”. I texted back, “oh, yeah? What script did Marx write that said brown people were ‘illegal’, but white people weren’t? Was it in the letter to Lincoln praising him for freeing the slaves, or in Das Kapital? Because I must have missed it. Why don’t you send me a copy of where you read that.”
She blocked me.
“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said while addressing the group’s annual convention.
There’s some other good stuff in there but that’s the one that stood out to me as new.
Blindian
Indiack sounds cooler.
“Now” she wants to be black. As if her father wasn’t Jamaican.
As if she didn’t pledge AKA at Howard.
TIL. I didn’t even know she went to Howard. Honestly, I should read more about her on a personal level.
I’ve heard people seriously saying that Jamaicans aren’t black. Like what the hell?
Apparently they’ve never seen a picture of Bob Marley.
“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Trump said while addressing the group’s annual convention.
What an utter waste of DNA. And that was only the start of all the racist shit he said.
This also feels like it’s implying some transphobic stuff, while also trying to paint the dems as mentally ill. “They don’t know what gender they are, now I guess they don’t know what race they are either!”
I think you give that moron way too much credit. I think he honestly believes telling black people that Kamala isn’t black will work.
Translation:
“Don’t bother going out to vote for her, black people, she’s not actually black.”
If she wins, black Americans will have saved our asses AGAIN.
Black Americans have consistently been one of the greatest aspects of this country so that tracks.
Which is interesting considering the criticism they gave Biden for the “you ain’t black” comment four years ago.
Well-deserved criticism. The sentiment of “You’re voting against your best interests” was correct, but the phrasing was terrible.
Regardless, what Trump is saying is hardly different.
I think there is a difference, but I’ve seen your arguments with people on here and know I’m far outmatched! I’m gonna be like Trump debating Kamala and chicken out.
he can’t do anything without fucking it up
I’m reminded of Jon Stewart the other day:
Two races in one person‽ If these people ever saw a Pizza Hut-Taco Bell, they’d lose their minds!
Das Racist already covered this issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIt2CdbBo_w
Thank you. I watched this two times and now I have a better understanding of the combination pizza hut and taco bell.
Just a spaghetti western.
Found the 30-something Bay Area kid!
Wait until they hear about the Kentaco Hut.
I don’t know, is Trump a flaming sack of shit or a racist liar?
😱 Something can be two things at the same time??? Like a billionaire and a fraud??? Or a candidate and a felon???
I doubt he’s a billionaire.
I guarantee he is worth at least eight pounds!
A thought:
If Trump thinks that Kamala Harris should claim she’s Indian because she has an Indian mother, then Barack Obama should claim he’s white for the same reason.
Too bad no one in the press will bring that up to him.
I never considered that!
By that same logic, I have been rumored to have slept with all of my friends from high school and every gamer with whom I’ve interacted online
I shoulda gone to your high school, apparently.
We woulda been friends!
Let the rumors begin!
I heard that at Jessica’s party, while everyone was playing 7 Minutes in Heaven, we were making out in her mom’s car and that our mustaches got tangled.
I also heard that we put gerbils in each other’s butts, which is ridiculous since we only used hamsters.

This whole event was a shit show. Tech problems, no one could hear each other. And of course none of the journalists landed any gotcha moments because it’s Trump and he has zero shame.
Yes. Please keep being weird and racist. This is exactly how you demotivate all the normies from voting for you.
…do normies even vote for Trump?
Yes. There are a decent swath of votes who vote Republican but aren’t tuned in super well. Studies show that only about 30% support trump directly. That leaves 15% to 20% of his voters who simply vote the party or vote based on “it’s better for my wallet”
By running on racism and other distasteful platforms, it will chip into that normies pool, and they are likely to not turn out. Not all of the normies will see it or be affected by it, but if even 5% of the voting population chooses to not vote over voting for trump, it will be a disaster for trump and down ballot Republicans.
aren’t tuned in super well
I don’t think being completely ignorant and oblivious to the world around them for ~8 years is “normal”, lol
Nor is “It’s better for my wallet”, imo
Trump’s campaign is going swimmingly as this will surely win over more black voters.
The hilarious part of all this would be to see America actually elect this idiot. Say what you want about him but he’s running to lead the most powerful country in the world.
The fact that he is even a contender says more about America than anything.
I stopped laughing at Trump a long time ago … I now point my finger at the American population.
I have hope for the US because of Harris but if Trump wins it, the world will never look at the US with any bit of respect (if there ever was any left) ever again.
Gerrymandering helps skew things in favor of Republicans
Yeah but not for the presidency.
The Electoral College isn’t technically a gerrymander, but functionally, it’s the same.
I’m often reminded of the saying
Imagine how dumb the average person is and realise that half the population are more stupid than that
Average doesn’t have to be in the middle. You’ve probably meant “median”
I mean… Median is a type of average, just because I wasn’t being specific doesn’t mean I was wrong
Intelligence (and I don’t mean IQ but intelligence as an abstract trait) is probably normally distributed just like the vast majority of other traits like it, so the mean is the median
In other words, and less often repeated, “half of them are smarter than that!”
To be fair people like the orange turnip and his followers are heavily tipping the scales in that direction all by themselves.
The hilarious part of all this would be to see America actually elect this idiot. Say what you want about him but he’s running to lead the most powerful country in the world.
I disagree with your sick sense of humor.

We already saw what that was like in 2016. It wasn’t good.
What race are orange people?
They are the race to the bottom
Is he red or yellow??
He’s too racist for either
Oompa Loompa
But he only turned orange a few years ago.
Must be something else surely?Oompa Loompas have a pretty good grasp on ethics.
On the other hand, they may rely on a ruler for the formation of their system of government.
Perhaps Oompa Loompas ruled by Slugworth evolve differently. But then, who is Slugworth?
I guess the good thing this indicates is that black people as a population have significant voting power if the Trump campaign tactic is to alienate Harris from black voters
Now we know when why they gerrymander so hard, b/c otherwise their ghouls probably won’t even come close to being elected
Honestly, not even as terrible as I thought he’d be. How he managed to not get hot-miked saying the n-word all day is beyond me. And I’ll definitely take Disaster Don saying Harris isn’t Black over Retirin’ Biden saying voters aren’t Black!
Yeah it could be worse, but as all things with him, he’s walking that thin line and he knows it. “It’ll all be fixed!” Mmm-hmm!
He compared the 2021 insurrection to the protests in Minneapolis and other cities in 2020 following the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis police and to more recent protests at the Capitol last week by demonstrators opposed to the war in Gaza. Trump falsely claiming that no one was arrested in those other demonstrations and that only his supporters were targeted.
As Trump made the comparison, a man in the back of the room shouted out: “Sir, have you no shame?”
None. Literally none at all.
This is what Fox and crew have been doing the whole time. Good old whataboutism.
“Haven’t you been paying attention? No, I have no shame. Nobody has less shame than I do, everyone is saying it.”
That might be one superlative I’d actually believe if he said it.
