2. Hey, I don't see color...

[CaptYossarian]

13. Then we won't bother asking about the orange guy in the middle.

I'm always embarrassed for those people behind Trump. They're that stupid.

[Hoyt]

4. trump style Affirmative Action.

[barbtries]

5. they're from my city.

[Martin Eden]

6. The blackness they refer to

Is in their heart, and in their soul.

[Faux pas]

7. Boy

They're fooling everybody

[LakeArenal]

8. The irony is deafening.

And still they don’t realize how tone deaf they are.

[TimeToGo]

9. I'm not sure

I'm not sure those are real photos (the blacks for Trump) Did anyone check the URL?

I mean, maybe, but . .

[Alwaysna]

17. These not current pix but still worthy.

[TimeToGo]

23. Yea

That webpage on the signs is . . . very very strange.

18. That was one of my first thoughts, too.

Guarantee you if we interviewed those people they would claim they believe they are helping blacks and other POC by supporting Trump, and by manning that booth and holding those signs.

KY.......

10. Wow...Alex Cole ...good find. Need to follow him !

[Midnight Writer]

12. Well, Republicans are reaching out.

[ProudLib72]

14. If you say it enough times, it becomes true!

You just wait until tomorrow when they wake up black.




What do you suppose they would think? "Oh shit! Now I'm black and I know how much white people hate me because I used to be a racist white person! I'm as good as dead."

15. During the 2016 campaign,

I actually saw a man holding a sign that said, "Women for Trump". They really don't even try to be convincing.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

16. Just thought of an ironic scene...

if people at a Biden rally were handed signs to hold that said "Whites for Biden" for show on the TeeVee.

Rethugs and Faux News would be all over that one......

[PatSeg]

24. Ha, ha, ha!

19. I remember seeing those signs on the news at some of the early rallies

The guy usually holding them made sure he was on camera and he wasn't actually there to support Trump, but to publicize that very scary website:

'Blacks for Trump': The strange story of the US President's least likely fan who considers Oprah Winfrey the devil

'Michael the Black Man' a highly eccentric right-wing activist from Florida known by at least three other aliases who was once acquitted of conspiracy to commit double murder

At a number of political rallies over the last two years, a character calling himself “Michael the Black Man” has appeared in the crowd directly behind Donald Trump, impossible to miss and possibly planted.

He holds signs that scream “BLACKS FOR TRUMP” and wears a T-shirt proclaiming with equal conviction that “TRUMP & Republicans Are Not Racist.”

Almost always, he plugs his wild website, Gods2.com, across his chest.

And so it was Tuesday night, before a crowd of Trump supporters in Phoenix who had come to watch another show. There was the President, whipping up the wildly cheering crowd, and then there was Michael the Black Man, chanting just beyond Trump's right shoulder in that trademark T-shirt.

The presence of Michael the Black Man - variously known as Michael Symonette, Maurice Woodside and Mikael Israel - has inspired not only trending Twitter hashtags but a great deal of curiosity and Google searches. Internet sleuths find the man's bizarre URL, a easily-accessible gateway to his strange and chequered past.

The radical fringe activist from Miami once belonged to a violent black supremacist religious cult and he runs a handful of amateur, unintelligible conspiracy websites. He has called Barack Obama “The Beast” and Hillary Clinton a Ku Klux Klan member. Oprah Winfrey, he says, is the devil.

21. Thanks, Rhiannon for reminding us about that guy.

I've also read that Trump's rally setup people along with some right-wing support groups bring large numbers of signs and other paraphernalia to pass out to the crowd.

The deception is that people holding those signs brought them along which is likely not true.

It's all part of the tRump carnival.....

[Rhiannon12866]

22. I was going to post a link to the website, but I thought better of it

I'm sure not going there! We have had the occasional disruptor show up here with such things, but they never get past MIRT. And this guy is just a whack job who was looking for publicity for his scary conspiracy site. He obviously had ulterior motives. And, as we know, anyone who isn't there to show enthusiasm for Trump is quickly shown the door...
