    “She just isn’t black enough to be president” Trump hurt itself in its confusion.

    Just finished watching that train wreck and it went exactly like I (we!?) thought it would!

    It’s weird that Donald Trump can’t speak without being nasty. Donald Trump is weird in that mannerism.

    The only thing old racists hate more than minorities is multiethnic minorities. It confuses and angers them

    She just turned black? Has he not been paying attention for the past 4 years? (Rhetorical question. We all know the answer to that is “no, of course he hasn’t, because he’s so fixated with himself!”)

      I’m sure her Jamaican dad would be amazed to hear that his daughter hasn’t been black for almost all of her 59 years on this planet.

      I said this in another thread, but “things happening/existing before you know about them” is something I’m working on with my child, not something a presidential candidate should struggle with.

          It’s strange that people would think such a weird, small-handed man-child could run anything let alone a country.

        The Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses have been designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.

      In the full quote he did say she turned black “a number of years ago”, for context, but he’s still full of shit.

    It is probably a Republican mindset that “race” is still a thing in the US. Who the f cares what race Kamela Harris is - besides “Human”

      As someone who grew up in a (not so surprising) racist family: I promise you, they don’t care. If she had an ® next to her name, they’d be voting for her instead of Trump, as long as the opponent had a (D) next to their name.

      The modern republican party is what’s left of “the south that will rise again”. Doesn’t matter that Donnie dipshit wasn’t born in the south, that’s the demographic he’s been taught, all his life, that matters.

      And in Donnie the dipshit’s case, it’s basically still 1800s America. Guy hasn’t moved a millimeter since 1990. Guy probably doesn’t know what the word ‘no’ even means.

      If you vote for Donnie Dumbass, I hope once the liberals are gone ,he comes for you next.

    Remember how people were betting when he’d say something openly racist? Bets were September, turns out it was June!

    I wonder if they booked this event a few weeks back when Trump was trying to woo black voters.

    Since Biden stepped back and Kamala stepped up he would’ve abandoned that I guess - seems like instead he’s taken the opportunity to upset black voters in order to appeal to his base.

    Of course, he could just be being himself.

      This was a great well deserved ambush. The very first question was absolutely devastating for him and got him to show his nasty side. He can appeal to his base all he wants because they aren’t the majority.

    It’s funny (sad funny, not haha funny) we can’t really know if what he said was just an incoherent sentence due to his obvious dementia or a racist comment due to his rampant racism or a misogynist comment due to his unbridled misogyny

    Trump truly is a whole package of shit

    I would have thought it was a low bar to clear of not questioning if she is black, but here we are.
