The FOX reporting of this event is just sad.

“Sir, have you no shame?”

Passerby6497 ,

“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…

norimee ,

He doesn’t understand how sombody can be more than one thing. Because everyone around him is so one dimensional.

Indian mother and a black father and still American? How is this possible?! Its nearly as if she fell out of a coconut tree.

Who knew that health care could be so complicated? No one.

Kamala Harris was “Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went, she became a Black person.”

SeaJ OP ,

I wonder if this is why he stopped donating to her campaigns…

njm1314 ,

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.

Nurgle ,

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

flerp ,

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.

njm1314 , (edited )

First of all anyone who doesn’t know Trump’s into evil racist shit by now is unreachable and that seems like a moot point to me. But again the message of this event is not in the people who watched it. It’s the victory of Association. Trump to his base; see the blacks had me in to tell them the truth and now they know how it really is. That’s going to be the message. And there are going to be a few racist that he’s going to reach with this who might not have voted before. People who weren’t inspired by the idea of voting against old man Joe Biden are going to be paying a little more attention now.

Liberals and leftists have never understood this about conservative politics. Conservatives completely control narratives. Actual events actual facts never matter. That’s exactly why for instance they wanted that audio testimony of Joe Biden when they already had the transcripts. Same exact thing. It’s not about what’s actually said it’s about the easy picture the easy sound clip the easy message. You can’t give them easy openings. You have to make them work for it. When they have to sell their people on facts and arguments and policies they fail.

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.

“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.

someguy3 ,

This is what Fox and crew have been doing the whole time. Good old whataboutism.

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

Myxomatosis ,

Trump’s campaign is going swimmingly as this will surely win over more black voters.

I mean the guy launched his political career over racist conspiracies with Obama

TexasDrunk ,

If you ignore his original grift run for president in 2000 as a Reform Party member.

Donald Trump is really pissing off black people

CodexArcanum ,

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!

Lemminary ,

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!

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.

MrScottyTay ,

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

Rocketpoweredgorilla ,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

To be fair people like the orange turnip and his followers are heavily tipping the scales in that direction all by themselves.

Xeroxchasechase ,

Average doesn’t have to be in the middle. You’ve probably meant “median”

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

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

slackassassin ,

In other words, and less often repeated, “half of them are smarter than that!”

MrScottyTay ,

I mean… Median is a type of average, just because I wasn’t being specific doesn’t mean I was wrong

morphballganon ,

We already saw what that was like in 2016. It wasn’t good.

Gerrymandering helps skew things in favor of Republicans

The Electoral College isn’t technically a gerrymander, but functionally, it’s the same.

Hawke ,

Yeah but not for the presidency.

I disagree with your sick sense of humor.

Tyfud ,

“People will die in a mass genocide if America elects this megalomaniac dictator. But they deserve it for Americans being self-centered idiots.”

There. Fixed the OP for you.

kikutwo ,

What race are orange people?

AbidanYre ,

Oompa Loompa

kikutwo ,

But he only turned orange a few years ago.

I_Miss_Daniel ,

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?

Sterile_Technique ,
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Is he red or yellow??

kikutwo ,

He’s too racist for either

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

They are the race to the bottom

Phegan ,

Yes. Please keep being weird and racist. This is exactly how you demotivate all the normies from voting for you.

otp ,

…do normies even vote for Trump?

Phegan ,

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.

troglodytis ,

Unfortunately

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.

Good, Trump, just keep digging your own hole further!
