"She just isn't black enough to be president" Trump hurt itself in its confusion.

Cherry on top would be recommending tanning lol.

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.

So weird. Just a weird weird dude. And old.

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

They like think to fit into very simple basic boxes; Black/White, Male/Female, Christian/Pagan, Americans/Subhumans, Straight/—

Had to explain to someone yesterday that being gay isn't the same as being trans. He's one of them (I'll submit to the irony).

Multiracial people make ethnostates more complicated

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!")

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Well apparently she just turned black.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My wife and I were thinking about turning black. It's just so much paperwork.

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.

Well, he is a 78 year-old child

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

There's a joke involving peril sensitive sunglasses here somewhere.

[–] finley@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that dude's got tiny hands

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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"

[–] Crowfiend@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

As someone who grew up in a (not so surprising) racist family: I promise you, they don't care. If she had an (R) 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 did not consent to July.

[–] ahornsirup@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

Well, good news for you: it's August now.

[–] abaddon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And only July for today. You ok qooqie?

Qooqie time travelled from the past to warn us about a grave threat in our past.... These Marvel movies keep getting worse since End Game.

Such an old weirdo. He is quite old and rather weird!

You didn’t know? Black is a choice!

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago

Cool. I’m opting out.

One generational wealth, please.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Weird how so many people choose to be brutalized by cops, isn't it?

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.

[–] Tire@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

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

What a fucking moron. My god he represents his voters well.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

And his repugnican cronies just smile and nod just like hes speaking gospel. Can them all, tuna style

[–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Anyone want to vote for any of racist Trumps?

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Must be why he hasn’t been asking for her birth certificate.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Just like his heart, except that was too long ago to remember.

[–] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I see it is back up to its old tricks again
