At Texas "MAGA rally," Trump slams "Florida Mayor Cory Booker"

[Miles Archer]

There were many awkward moments during the Texas Trump rally for Ted Cruz, but one moment was an epic blunder.

During President Donald Trump’s attack on the Democratic Party, he started in attacking a mayor running for governor in Florida.

“The mayor who did one of the worst jobs of any mayor other than the guy running for governor in Florida. He was a horrible mayor. Cory Booker. He destroyed what he did,” Trump said.

Booker was actually the mayor of Newark, New Jersey and Andrew Gillum is the mayor in Florida who is running for governor. Both men are African American though they look nothing alike and live in completely different states. Booker is now a Senator and Gillum is still the mayor while running for Governor. Still, Trump can’t seem to get them straight.

1. I see Blacks for Trump guy is back

In Trump speak I actually understood what he was saying. I should be learning how to speak Spanish but instead I'm learning Dumbass.

[John Fante]

39. At least 63 million Americans are fluent in Dumbass, so it's not

a bad idea.

[Xipe Totec]

59. I think it's Black for Trump - Singular

It's got to be lonely being there.

[SunSeeker]

60. The Blacks for Trump guy is a deranged former member of a murderous Florida cult.

He comes to these rallies because, as the only black man, he knows he will get seated in camera frame to publicize his conspiracist website:

... he used his prominent placement at rallies to show off signs and T-shirts directing people to his truly insane website, which accuses Cherokees of secretly running America's banking system and alleges an FDR-created secret program is sabotaging conservatives.

https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/blacks-for-trump-founder-maurice-symonette-banned-from-bankruptcy-court-for-abusing-system-10764071

He, like Trump, is a deranged con man.

[underpants]

61. Yeah I remember his back story

cherokees running the banking system huh? I'm assuming that somehow gets twisted around to the Tribes of Israel....or maybe he's just a little confused.

[nini]

2. Well.. you know those black folks are all the same

God.. will this ever end?????

[spanone]

3. there should be a test...he's too dumb to be 'president'

[Miles Archer]

7. It's like SNL's "Celebrity Jeopardy"...

"In this category, all you have to do is say a letter. Any letter."

[spanone]

8. Exactly!!!

👍🏼☮️😎

[grantcart]

36. Perfect lolol

[DBoon]

37. or Cheech and Chong's "lets make a dope deal"

For ten points Bob, answer the following question: What is your name? Hint, it starts with a "B' and ends with a "b".

[TexasTowelie]

4. My brother and BIL made it inside to the rally.

I'm not looking forward to when he arrives home.

[vercetti2021]

14. I would tell them to fuck off

If they open their mouth

[TexasTowelie]

24. Today has really sucked thus far.

First the rally; then arguing with my sister who says she isn't a racist but doesn't anymore brown people to come; the broadband service isn't working; and my weed dealer screwed up seriously and was busted.

The worst part is that the only thing that might get fixed is the broadband service.

[vercetti2021]

42. Sucks about the weed

Least you'll get the Internet. I have a cousin like that and I can't stand her. I get into shouting matches with her all the time.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

58. Paz!

[MontanaMama]

64. Just the fact that tRump is in your state

is enough to throw anybody off all by itself. I had a complete melt down at the news that he was coming to Missoula last week. Be good to yourself and don’t take any shit.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

67. get that broadband fixed!

You start threads on a wide range of topics -- I'd miss 'em.

[TexasTowelie]

68. I called the technician and they will be coming in this evening.

It's strange that the modem is having problems since we had replaced it earlier in the year. However, AT&T does use a lot of rebuilt equipment. The data limit for my cell phone is low enough that I don't want to play many videos.

I'm glad that you like the threads that I post. I try to provide a mix of topics from the serious to the quirky. I hope that everyone enjoys learning as much as I do when I read the articles.

[Stuart G]

5. He cannot get it straight because the bottom line..Trump is "stupid"

Only a total " blank" would make a statement like that...I guess the only thing Booker and Gillum have in common is that they are both Afro-American. I guess that is what Mr. Stupid was thinking.....
....He ain't very smart..

[techne7319]

6. Stable genius

Gosh! If anyone had any doubt as to whether or not this guy “has a clue,” I think it’s safe to say he does not. He has no business being president of anything, much less a country.

[Stuart G]

9. Well said.. He needs to be in a .."horse stable" cleaning up the poop..!!

I am not even sure he could do that....

[Cha]

66. Stable Horse's Ass.. Not Fit to Serve.

[SMC22307]

10. FFS Raw Story it was intentional, not an "epic blunder."

"They all look alike." Racism. Not an "epic blunder."

[bitterross]

20. Exactly! He'd have said that "Boy" if he thought he could get away with it.

I'm surprised he didn't. THAT crowd in THAT state would have loved it.

I'm sure they loved what he did say. Not to mention, most of them don't know the difference between Booker and Gillum either. So it doesn't matter.

[SMC22307]

31. They know who Booker is. Many b/c of the Kavanaugh hearings...

and others before that. I have a couple of wingnut "friends" on Facebook and he's one of many on their shit-lists. Along with "Fauxcahontas." And Kamala Harris who they claim had a relationship with an older man to advance her career (?). I don't even know what's going on with that accusation but I guess I better find out cuz they're slinging it around.

[GulfCoast66]

11. The guy is an idiot.

Remember the line ‘Who knew Lincoln was a republican?’

[3catwoman3]

26. "Who knew Lincoln was a Republican?"

Pretty much everybody.

[techne7319]

27. I'm willing to overlook...

I’m willing to overlook a “small” historical detail, but it’s 2 weeks before a national midterm election and he doesn’t even know who the candidates are in their respective states. Give me a break! Booker isn’t even up for re-election, is he? And why talk about Florida when you’re in Texas? Nonsense

[Delmette2.0]

12. Now? Can we talk about the 25th amendment?

This man has serious problems.

[hatrack]

13. It's OK, Shitstain. . .

We know "they" all look alike to you.

[SMC22307]

32. Exactly. How are people in this thread not getting that?

Drumpf knows EXACTLY what he's saying and who the two men are.

[MontanaMama]

65. +1

That’s the whole effing point to all of this.

[vercetti2021]

15. Get the fuck out of our state

Shit head

[UniteFightBack]

16. I took this as the only worse mayor than 'the guy' running for Gov in FL is Cory Booker.

[MissB]

18. Same here. That whole article was a head scratcher since the sentence was pretty clear.

I mean, for a t-rump sentence, it was pretty clear.

[pnwmom]

53. The sentence doesn't read clearly. I didn't understand it either. Trump often flips back and forth

like that, and counts on the listener to be able to follow him through his syntactic gyrations.

[mr_lebowski]

63. Yup ... whole article is silly, pretty obvious what Trump meant, he wasn't saying Booker was the

mayor running for the Florida Governor's office.

Shit like this just makes our side look stupid.

[hay rick]

49. Agree. nt

[peekaloo]

69. That's how I read it, too.

Reading is fundamental.

[lpbk2713]

17. Are those the same roadies behind him?

The same cheerleaders he usually brings with him?

[EricMaundry]

19. The cliched white guy who thinks all blacks look the same

... come to life.

[bitterross]

21. No one there to see him cares. The MAGAts not there don't care.

They could care less if he called him by the wrong name. It all comes out as "Boy" to them and their racism.

[Va Lefty]

22. When will this end?

[LBM20]

23. RACIST IDIOT!

[dlk]

25. Trump is Becoming More and More Incoherent

[nocoincidences]

28. His brain is deteriorating

in front of an audience of the world.

Reagan did the same damn thing, if you had the eyes to see.

He needs to be removed, soon.

[babylonsister]

29. I am laughing and not surprised! nt

[vlyons]

30. yes, but for Trump

"They" all look alike ... and I'll bet his stupid Trumpsters clapped clapped clapped any way

what an asshole

[YOHABLO]

33. 2 takes here: 1)He's totally ignorant. 2)I suppose he thinks African American mayors all look alike.

Probably more emphasis on #1. What a disgrace to our country.

[George II]

34. Not sticking up for him (and there will be plenty of others to criticize before we know it), but...

...he said "...one of the worst jobs of any mayor other than the guy running for governor in Florida..."

He's still a stupid, hateful fucker though.

[BlueStater]

40. It's because of his clumsy way of explaining his points.

The stupid, senile shitwad doesn't know how to properly end a sentence.

[George II]

41. Or start a sentence or any of the oatmeal in the middle of the sentence...

...I actually had to read that sentence three or four times to figure out what he said, knowing of course what he meant to say.

[grantcart]

47. I am convinced he has some form of dislexia

Always has strange word order, doesn't seem to read well.

[grantcart]

44. You are correct

Listen to the tape

He was insulting a line of Dem Senators and Congresspeople


Pelosi, Waters, Feinstein (mispronounces her name) and Booker

“The mayor who did one of the worst jobs of any mayor other than the guy running for governor in Florida. He was a horrible mayor. Cory Booker. He destroyed what he did,” Trump said.

He was referring to Booker as being "among the worst" (sic) and then added a reference to Mayor Gillum

[ecstatic]

55. lol. He's not confused, just racist.

Of all the comparisons he could come up with, he just happened to pick 2 black guys who are in completely different lanes as far as the offices they're currently in and/or seeking.

[ProudLib72]

35. That's the Rump? I thought it was Cruz.

They look the same to me!

[BlueStater]

38. All black guys look the same to the racist old fuck. n/t

[FSogol]

43. Exactly, all those Florida Mayors look the same.

[smirkymonkey]

45. Can we give him the hook now?

He's bat-shit crazy and a raging racist asshole. I cannot take another two years of this, let alone another six. I honestly think I will go mad.

[grantcart]

46. Rawstory got it wrong, not for the first time

Listen to the tape

He was insulting a line of Dem Senators and Congresspeople


Pelosi, Waters, Feinstein (mispronounces her name) and Booker

“The mayor who did one of the worst jobs of any mayor other than the guy running for governor in Florida. He was a horrible mayor. Cory Booker. He destroyed what he did,” Trump said.

He was referring to Booker as being "among the worst" (sic) and then added a reference to Mayor Gillum.

[nuxvomica]

70. My reading as well

And he actually said, "He was a horrible mayor too." Plenty to criticize in that speech but I don't think he confused the two guys.

[sheshe2]

48. All 'blah' people look the same to tRump.

Just to be safe.

[Dr Vegas]

50. I'm from Jersey

One Booker story I recall is one that after a huge snowstorm he went around with staff and help dig people out. I believe that he was using twitter or email to communicate and when one guy bitched that his mother had to wait till the other people who contacted Booker first got dugout, Cory asked "Brother , why don't you dig your mother's car out if you can't wait?" I don't know how much of that was true or not, but that story did leave an impression on me

[Me.]

51. I'm Betting Booker Will Not Get A Single Vote In Florida

[shenmue]

57. Hrmm

[RhodeIslandOne]

52. How long before he just starts dropping N bombs?

We've been waiting for it. Time to let loose.

[brooklynite]

54. As much as I hate to stand up for Trump, that's not what he said.....

“The mayor who did one of the worst jobs of any mayor other than the guy running for governor in Florida. He was a horrible mayor. Cory Booker. He destroyed what he did,” Trump said.

He's beating up on Cory Booker (former Mayor of Newark) presumably because he sees Booker as a threat in 2020,

[bucolic_frolic]

56. The worse job Trump does, the more he accuses others of doing the worst job

True projection, and this strategy has worked for him his whole life. Total bias, total non-objectivity.

[47of74]

62. Racist fuck.
