    “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.

    What an utter waste of DNA. And that was only the start of all the racist shit he said.

      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 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.

      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.

        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.

              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.

      Right wing media stopped covering it when they found out the shooter was not a Democrat. They switched to focusing on the Secret Service.

      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??

        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

    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 when why they gerrymander so hard, b/c otherwise their ghouls probably won’t even come close to being elected

    “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.

    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!

    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…
