Donald Trump is proving heās racist and stupid with his latest post.
In a Truth Social post Thursday morning, Donald Trump appeared to suggest, again, thatĀ presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris isnāt really Black, ramping up his identity-based attacks to the horror of those in his party who consider racism a losing electoral strategy.
Earlier in the week, many GOP strategists, including in the Trump camp,Ā worriedĀ that attacks on Harrisās race and genderāwhich seemed all but inevitable considering Trumpās history of racism and misogynyāwould pose a serious liability for the campaign. āWe hope he doesnāt act like a crazy racist and sexist person, but we canāt control him,ā a source close to the campaignĀ toldĀ The Washington Post.
These hopes were quickly dashed in the course of Trumpās interview with the National Association of Black Journalists Wednesday afternoon, in which the candidateĀ claimedĀ that, for years, Vice President Kamala Harris āwas Indian all the way, and then suddenly she made a turn and she became a Black person.ā
Not dumb, in the sense that he knows 70% of his base doesnāt give two shits about anything, and 10% want to see vulgar stuff because itās entertaining.
This is the guy who has mocked developmentally disabled people on national TV more than once, prior to winning the 2016 election, and Iām basing his reasoning after that. His fanbase is beholden to his callous asshattery
No, heās legitimately dumb. He knows how to play a crowd, and covers it up a bit by rambling unlike Biden, but heās been observably senile since like 2018, look at how disconnected his speech gets when he goes off script and starts a thought off with something he half-remembered from the news, something grandma would send you on FB, and ends it with something that hasnāt been accurate since the 80s.
If you watch his CPAC speeches and stuff, itās almost like thereās a conspiracy of silence around showing how bad it is. You just get wacky stories that arenāt too believable from dem-alligned media, and āeverythingās fine, the 79 year old is the most stable genius everā from conservative media.
The recent interview with the black journalists association missed the perfect opportunity to ask him to draw a clock.
Heās dumb, but about as dumb as a rat that figured out how to reach the cheese in the maze. Heās kind of bumbling around and took an unintentionally Socratic approach towards reaching what he wanted. Thereās some rationality to all of it
If they already like him, sure. He lost the ability to be entertaining to anyone else a long time ago.
