“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!
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!
Nope, late 40s Hoosier (unfortunately). Someone just sent me that once and I laughed my ass off.
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???
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.
I doubt he’s a billionaire.
I guarantee he is worth at least eight pounds!
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.
It’s becoming increasingly apparent to most of us.
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
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.
“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.
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…
…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.
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.
That means you won. Congrats!
Imagine the delicious irony if one of his ancestors was black.
Being falsely convicted of a crime in central park…

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.
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.
This is what Fox and crew have been doing the whole time. Good old whataboutism.
“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.
“Now” she wants to be black. As if her father wasn’t Jamaican.
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.
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.
Blindian
Indiack sounds cooler.
Not exactly a great strategy to win over black voters…
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
The man has zero strategy beyond spewing bullshit and seeing what sticks.
He’s not hoping to win them over, but to discourage them from voting at all.
“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…
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.
If only it were that sweetly naive.
He is a fascist. He does not believe a person can be all three of those at once.
Who knew that health care could be so complicated? No one.
I would beg someone to explain code switching for him, but I doubt he’d care.
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.He talked about running since the 80s.
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
Unfortunately
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.”
– Donald Trump
I wonder if this is why he stopped donating to her campaigns…
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
Good, Trump, just keep digging your own hole further!
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.
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.
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.
Can we just collectively question Trump’s race? Idf if he is a tomato or an orange 🤷♂️
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…
