Speaking to Black journalists, Trump reminded everyone how racist he can be
Give Trump a platform and he’ll remind people how racist he can be
Look, I don’t want to insult stupid people, but trump is a deeply deeply stupid person, right?
80A reminder on just how stupid he is:
“So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”
—Donald Trump
Regarding Donald Trump, Rex Tillerson (who was Trump’s pick for) Secretary of State at the time famously said, “This guy is a fucking moron”.
50After the interview Trump thought he nailed it and did a great job..... so I mean conclude from that what you will.

If you thought he was there trying to court black voters, then yeah. He failed miserably. But there is absolutely NO way in hell even he would be dumb enough to give that performance if he was trying to get their votes.
This wasn't a message for black voters. This was a message to shore up his own base. This was meant to tell his base "Hey, I've got your back. I'm gonna hurt all the right people this time, and as an example watch as I go right into their turf and put them in their place. And when I get re-elected, I'll do the same to <insert other minority here> too!"
Racism is all he's got left. It's all he has left. He only had one other option: Telling everyone that his opponent is old and senile. That doesn't work so well when your opponent is nearly two decades your junior. What else is he going to campaign on? Policies? Issues? I'd bet the left body part of your choice that he couldn't even spell either word, much less campaign on them.

If Trump wasn't such an hated asshole, there would rightly be people calling this abuse of a person that clearly has cognitive decline or intellectual disability. They just straight up made him look like such an idiot on stage and camera, and he's not even aware of it. It's like Michael Scott level cringe but for President of the country.
21I don't think he's smart, but he's not as dumb as he plays. His supporters are a different story
18he's not as dumb as he plays
I dunno about that. He seems deep in cognitive decline to me.
37Hanlon's razor suggests it's just his delusion:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

Idk but he sure is racist af.

He didn't know what DEI stood for, lol

He straight up not only admitted, but used it as an argument in his favor, that he didn't know that the running mate of his opponent in the last presidential election was Black. He also just recently found out that the Vice President of the country for the last 3.5 years is Black. HE'S RUNNING FOR FUCKING PRESIDENT!! 🤣🤣🤣
There is no possible analogy that I can make up to show how ridiculous this is because it's already at max ridiculousness. Any analogy would make it less ridiculous. There's absolutely no other election or application process in the world or history of humanity that would be more ridiculous because it's an ex-President running against the current Vice President for President.
omg, you can't make this shit up.
51Whether or not he knew she was black doesn't even matter. He was trying to say she never identified as black until recently, trying to make it seem like she was pandering to black voters or even lying about being black. It's way more insidious than "not knowing."

Biden won 92% of the black vote last time. The question is will this change the minds of the last 8% to vote Harris or the next 8% to flip to Trump.
19The polls were showing a substantial swing to Trump in the black vote since last time. Up to around 30%. Hopefully Harris can at least reverse that.

Yeah just watched some commentary on this. Holy shit.
Remember that a month ago this shit was a race to the bottom.
