Reminds me of this racist poster by the local far right party (switzerland).
“Expel criminal foreigners. Achieve security.”
I just kind of assumed they already enforced an ethnostate tbh
While he is a racist POS, this quote is edited from what he really said. Here’s the context and full clip on snopes:
While telling a story about Air Force One and the call sign for when a U.S. president is aboard the aircraft, Trump referenced its age and also former President Barack Obama, telling the BCF audience, “I love this great equipment. Although the plane’s 32 years old, I ordered new ones, and I saved $1.7 billion from what Obama was willing to pay. I have to tell you, [he’s a] Black president, but I got $1.7 billion less. Would you rather have the Black president or the white president who got $1.7 billion off the price? I think they want the white guy right now. Got $1.7 billion off the price.”

That context doesn’t change the meaning even slightly. If anything it makes it worse. He’s talking about an issue which is not related to race in any way, but he injects race into it. It shows exactly how he sees every aspect of the world.
We’re still not seeing the full context. I assume this was part of a wider conversation about the role of race in politics.
He’s making the point that a president’s actions matter more to voters (specifically black voters in this case) than a president’s race, which isn’t a bad point. (And I guess that’s what the audience is cheering for.)
I’m not a fan of Trump, but I’m also not a fan of taking things out of context.
I agreethat the full clip is just as damning. Which is why editing it to be misleading is unnecessary and counterproductive
It’s not really misleading. It’s the size of clip that fits.
I mean, he was speaking at the Black Conservative Federation. It’s sorta relevant just given the venue.
That’s really just the cherry on the shit sundae, unnecessarily bringing race into the conversation just for the sake of racism, and you’re being racist against the crowd you’re speaking to. I mean, I’m sure there’s plenty of self-haters amongst that group who see themselves as “one of the good ones” and don’t have a problem with it, but still.
It was awkward and racist, but if you watch the video the crowd cheers as he instantly relates it to money. I’m tellin’ ya, we’re fucked if every Dem and Trump hater dont come out of the woodworks to put this guy in his place. His support is way more entrenched than Lemmy will have you believe. We have to descend upon the polls like the Golden Horde.
I was shocked to hear my next door neighbor last night tell me “be prepared if Kah-mala wins. They think January 6th was bad? That was a drunk frat party compared to what’s coming. She never even got the nomination. I got my guns ready and I know people with more than that. If these democrats steal the election in November, you better be ready. There’s going to be blood in the streets.”
compared to what’s coming […] got my guns ready […] blood in the streets
Never ceases to amaze me how people boast about “what’s coming” like they wouldn’t be the first to turn into cannon fodder were something to actually happen
She never even got the nomination
Well, she did though. There was a whole convention for it. But of course facts don’t poll well with that demographic.
The convention didn’t have the right color fringe on their flag, so it doesn’t count. Or something, I dunno.
“They didn’t even vote for her, they voted for the other guy in the primaries.”
Me complaining about how fucked up two-party primaries are in the first place
“It’s in the constitution! They claim this is a democra-…”
Me tuning out until his stupid words turned into violent words
You reported him to the FBI, right?
In Texas? For what? Being too Texan?
It’d be more efficient to drive to the nearby FBI campus and insult someone’s mother if I wanted to get harassed by a federal agency.
I wish I were joking and I wish I weren’t so scared.
I’m not saying they’re not going to try, but it will be much harder for them to do anything like they did last time on Jan. 6th. They had police, the DOJ, local officials and all kinds of state help last time while trump was still in office. This time, a lot of them have been put in jail and are certainly on lists. You have to be willing to put your world on the line and can’t claim innocence, so you’d have to be an idiot to try anything. I understand how it feels to be surrounded by the worst of them, but I really don’t think that’s the deal.
January 6th and certifications are a known issue. I’m more worried about domestic terrorism from the anger. Hopefully they’re loud about what they’re planning, the current administrations seems to take that stuff seriously.
Me when I head to the polls next month.
“hey guys, I’m racist and hate you, vote for me!”
He tells it like it is!
[bloody gargling noises from the face-being-eaten-realtime person next to them]!!
every time I hear the phrase ‘quite part out loud’ I’m reminded that despite everything he still has a chance.
anyone who thinks the quite part survived his presidency is a danger to themselves and their country.
the whole game plan has been sensory overload from day 1 of his presidency, pay attention idiots.
Last I saw the odds the bookmakers had them even (have they changed since the hurricane?)
Just checked again. Trump is odds on to win
The strongest memory of the Trump presidency was an exhausting series of scandals as he did this that and the other illegal thing. Felt like every single day some new leak or expose would be posted of something incredibly illegal he did, usually within the last 4 weeks before the article
It truly does just boggle the mind. Worst part is he’s got way more than a chance. He’s trying his absolute best to fuck things up six ways to Sunday and it just doesn’t seem to do absolutely anything. It’s kinda wild.
does anyone have a video?
I linked it in the post body with a twitter mirror
oh,I get an infinite loading screen.
Dunno why you can’t view the video. It’s 13 seconds long, and he says:
“Would you rather have the black president or the white president who got 1.7 Billion off the price … I think they want the white guy”
I don’t know what price he’s referring to (I’m not American).
wackadoo.
okay, thanks, I’ll try it on my computer, maybe it’s a platform issue with that site.
I believe the quote and you, I just find that idiot so literally incredible, as in unbelievable, that I have to watch and say these stupid things in person.

Is Nitter back?
There are some instances that still run. Not exactly sure how, to be honest. The main two I know about that still work are
xcancel.com (what I linked in the body) and nitter.poast.org
Yeah it is so obvious now.
