“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
“I didn’t know about this thing, so it didn’t happen until I knew about it” is a concept my child needs to learn about, not a presidential candidate…
Wow who could have seen this one coming? Trump used this platform they gave him to spread racist evil shit. What a PR disaster for them and a PR Boone for Trump.
I’m not sure this was quite the boon for Trump. He hasn’t faced anything but soft ball Fox News reporters for years, and just made headlines for pitching a fit after being interviewed by actual journalists
The people who are into evil racist shit already know everything he has to say on that front. The people who aren’t into the evil racist shit but only watch other specific sources that don’t show it, don’t normally get to see that side of him.
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?”
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 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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
