“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.

    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!

    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 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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    There's some other good stuff in there but that's the one that stood out to me as new.

    "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....

    Not exactly a great strategy to win over black voters...

    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.”

    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

    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

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

    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.

    What's really amazing is that he doubled down on this.

    Trump cannot admit he's wrong. That' such an attractive personality trait, isn't it...

    Can we just collectively question Trump’s race? Idf if he is a tomato or an orange 🤷‍♂️

    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.
