“And a lot of people said that’s why the Black people like me, because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against, and they actually viewed me as I’m being discriminated against. It’s been pretty amazing but possibly, maybe, there’s something there.”
I may have never read a more delusional, tone-deaf, preposterous, and wholly fabricated crock of bullshit in my entire life. Does he dream these things up himself or does he somehow still have yes-men who feed these hallucinations to him?
What the fucking hell? I mean, even the most die-hard Trump-is-my-god-emporer-forever-I-will-topple-democracy-for-him maga has got to know that this is absolute horseshit, right?
Remember when Trump took out a 1 page ad in the paper calling for the death penalty for the central park 5?
Pepperidge Farm remembers
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6131533-trumpdeathpenaltyad05011989
Even better, he continued AFTER they were exonerated, got a settlement, and someone else confessed and was convicted based on DNA evidence. If there’s one thing this chump can’t do, it’s ever admit he was wrong. Oh, and another, he can’t just stfu about something.

It's important to point out they were all cleared after the fact and were released after serving years in prison. NYC settled with The Exonerated 5 for $41 million dollars.
Fox news told him black-voters like him because of this golden sneakers..
So in his brain right now, he thinks black-voters like him,
Thinking why that is, he knows black people historically were treated unfair by the court system, and apparently he is too,
So he thinks himself a genius with smart gene's that he linked those two thoughts together, and thinks that's another reason why black-voters must like him.
He's been spitting out everything he can hoping some victimization will stick... Jew prosecution, Navalny, etc. Dude's a moron, and I still can't believe there are people dumb enough to be fooled by such low effort manipulation.
I bet you anything that he comes up with the early versions of these crazy ideas then tells them to some personal bootlicker who then repeats them back the next day, to distract him from bad news. His brain is such swiss cheese that he thinks it is the first time hearing it. Repeat a few times and now it is fact.
It's been less than a week since a Fox News said black people love the idea that Trump is releasing a line of sneakers. Buckle up, this won't be the most tone deaf thing you read this year.
I don't remember where I read this, and I'm hoping someone may remind me, but it's a purity/loyalty test for fascists to say ridiculous, reality-defying things to their audience.
You know what these blacks really like? Crime and sneakers.
It's incredible how weird their racism has gotten.
They were openly racist before.
Now they reverted to some weird form of ignorant racism.
Black people vote for us because of golden shoes.
Black people vote for us because we're criminals.
Trump just jumbles whatever the last few people he talked to told him and regurgitates it. He surrounds himself with an ever-changing mire of idiots and racists of all kinds.
Don't excuse the rest of the party, Trump is just leading the ones too stupid to keep quiet about the racism.
These groups are very insular. At mar-a-lago over cocktails or whatever, you can probably spout of classist nonsense without anyone batting an eye with polite silence greeting really overt racism. I seriously doubt anyone there would stand up and challenge you saying that kind of thing.
But I'm guessing these people go way further behind closed doors. And this is how they think what they say is acceptable. The more insular, the bigger the gap between between what real people think is ok and what the people in these privileged spaces think is ok.
What we need is for someone to leak video of Trump saying the stuff they say in backrooms. If you'll recall there is precedent for this.
Search your favorite way for "Trump leaked audio".

“Black voters don’t like Biden because he’s an old white man.”
“But trump is an old white man too.”
“Aha, but he’s an old white man with white-collar criminal indictments and a sneaker line!”

Yes, discrimination, that's exactly why he is facing 91 counts.
Yes, discrimination, that’s exactly why he is facing 91 counts.
Trump: See? I'm being disproportionately targeted by the justice system. Just like 'the blacks.'
If you watch the videos, when they pan to the audience, there's like two or three black people and a whole bunch of white people. Strange for a black conservatives gathering.
Some of the other things he said are amazing, too:
"My mug shot — we’ve all seen the mug shot, and you know who embraced it more than anybody else? The Black population," Trump said. "You see Black people walking around with my mug shot, you know, they do shirts and they sell them for $19 apiece. It’s pretty amazing — millions by the way."
“These lights are so bright in my eyes that I can’t see too many people out there. But I can only see the Black ones, I can’t see any White ones, you see, that’s how far I’ve come. That’s how far I’ve come. That’s a long way, isn’t it? These lights. We’ve come a long way together,” he said as the crowd laughed.

It's so great how racist our former president is.... god I hate Trump
Crazy thing is that he’s not even the most racist president we’ve had.
Tbf he wasn't given an opportunity. Society wouldn't have allowed him to introduce jim crow, throw 200,000 Japanese Americans into concentration camps, or commit genocide on the choctaw. I'm sure he would do all those things and more if the pesky deep state wasn't holding him back.
Not his fault he was born in the wrong era
Every time he says some out-of-touch dumb-as-shit thing like this I get hopeful that this will be the thing that's too absurd, too stupid, too off-the-rails... and then I realize there are so many people that eat this shit up and the real despair sets in
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity” so yes, people eat this shit up and will go out in masses to vote for him.
"... and I'm not sure about the universe."
What the fuck am I reading. It can't be real. First the shoe thing. Now this. What the fuck?
He's what's called a useful idiot. The problem is a useful idiot is supposed to be a distraction. He's the gag. Turns out people are really fuckin unhappy, really fuckin poor and really fuckin desperate. And some of those people are really fuckin dumb.

You've got to admire his commitment to not giving a shit what he says or how it looks. Not exactly a quality I'm looking for in my president though.
Because a lot of it he honestly believes and doesn’t think it’s wrong to say if it’s true. This is probably one of those times.

Admitting that the criminal justice system discriminates against black people? Sounds an awful lot like someone has embraced CRT.
More likely he thinks a lot of black people are criminals and they'll like him because he's also a criminal.

I'm in disbelief. Even if he somehow makes it on the ballot, can he even run for Republicans anymore? He acknowledged the whole system is racist. 😂
Of course it’s bullshit that he’s being targeted politically - if anything, he’s gotten away with this for years due to his political status. But anyway, being targeted politically is not the same thing at all as being targeted due to bigotry. What a schmuck.
That's not racist or anything
Wow... That's really... Wow...
This has been the Republican Party since Civil Rights, the Media is only now pointing it out.

Imma just copy my previous comment: Next time he'll just say "Black people like me, because I'm a criminal. And they are also all criminals."

If there's one thing that black people love, it's doing crimes and overpriced sneakers.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Trump argues he is the victim of political persecution, even though there is no evidence President Joe Biden or White House officials influenced the filing of 91 felony charges against him.
Earlier in the week, Trump compared himself to Alexei Navalny, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top domestic rival, who died in a remote Arctic prison after being jailed by the Kremlin leader.
In telling a story about how he renegotiated the cost of remodeling Air Force One, Trump criticized his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, the first Black person to be elected to the White House.
Black voters who spoke with The Associated Press ahead of the gala expressed skepticism that Republicans, and Trump in particular, could persuade them to switch parties.
Isaac Williams Sr., a retired cook from Columbia and a lifelong Democrat, said he disliked both parties but found Trump to “have mobster tendencies.
In 1989, he took out full-page newspaper ads calling for New York state to reinstate the death penalty as five Black and Latino teenagers were set to stand trial for beating and raping a white woman in Central Park.
