* on edit: Wolf Blitzer just covered this in his 8:00 (central) time slot. Trump thinks he can turn his shitty week around by addressing race, because he thinks all the talk about defunding police departments will help his re-election chances.

[Zoonart]

1. OMG!

Just NO.

[Journeyman]

2. Sure to be on par with his "infrastructure" proclamations . . .

and will most likely prove even more divisive.

[onecaliberal]

3. Please no

[dweller]

4. never a day goes by

✌🏼

[Loki Liesmith]

5. Oh sweet Jesus

[C_U_L8R]

6. This ought to be sickly amusing.

Trump faking compassion is so pathetic.

[fleur-de-lisa]

9. What could go wrong?

[C_U_L8R]

12. He might even appear with his black 'friend'

[safeinOhio]

21. A broken teleprompter.

Sweeeet.

[backscatter712]

64. I know, right?

[gademocrat7]

7. Stay in the bunker.

[qazplm135]

8. David Duke wasn't available?

oh my.

[Raven]

10. I guess he thinks he can talk himself out of the mess he's in.

[FirstLight]

11. no. Just NO.

He has no right to speak on this.

[Chemisse]

13. Oh great. Riots to follow. n/t

[bdamomma]

29. Inciting more hate he should just STFU

Just got this on the news 80% of people polled "country on the wrong track" you think??



Open mouth insert leg.

[2naSalit]

14. Hoo boy!

That can't possibly be a set up for greater failure than that one, especially if Moore is writing the screech.

[treestar]

52. The "screech" !

very good.

[2naSalit]

58. Thanks for noticing!

I've used it a few times before, it fits in with my other scream/screech thingy... "full scream ahead".

[Nevilledog]

15. The Spirit of George Floyd told him to do it.

After dickhead said that George Floyd was happily looking down from heaven after the released the rigged employment report, I saw someone here on DU suggest that every question reporters ask trump should start with "What would George Floyd think about this....."

What would George Floyd have to say about the increased police presence?
What would George Floyd think about you gutting all the environmental laws?


I support this idea.

[uponit7771]

16. Trump: "... The sheriff is near !!!!" (Blazing saddles)

[littlemissmartypants]

17. Our President is an idiot. Why won't someone tell him to STFU? nt

[Newest Reality]

18. Well my opinion...

STFU Fascist. You have already done enough to divide and your words are simply meaningless. They come from your insatiable desire to dominate us all and nothing you say will act as any kind of bromide or salve. NOTHING.

Go politic in the bunker and try to re-elect yourself.

[shockey80]

19. Nobody will believe that speech.

Everybody knows who Trump is.

[fleur-de-lisa]

25. He wouldn't get two minutes into the speech

before offending people of color and then attacking his perceived enemies and airing grievances.

It would be a complete cluster fuck.

[Claustrum]

38. I would bet that he will double down on the "George is happy" speech

That's what he always does. He says something stupid and outrageous, get calls out for it and then double/triple/quadruple down as if what he said wasn't wrong.

[42bambi]

47. He will turn it into a campaign speech. He can't resist, it's going to be all about his greatness.

[bullwinkle428]

68. 30 seconds in : "I have the lowest black unemployment numbers of all time!!"

Count on it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. Written by Stephen Miller of course.

That will be something.

[soothsayer]

22. Plus they said "law and order"

....to claim victory for the peaceful protests.

This will go spectacularly wrong, and fast!

[sheshe2]

23. His speech:

There are very good people on both sides. I kid, there is only one side and that is every god givin' christian wypippo's. They are the amerikka I love, I stand beside them and misguide them here through my own warped and twisted mind.

I am white you are not. Neener.

Amen

………………..

Speech given behind his chicken wire fence.

[trof]

24. MAGA loves the blacks. A lot of people are saying it.

Everybody knows that.

[Yonnie3]

26. I'd encourage him to make this speech

(as if he'd listen to me)

He should use his oratory and people skills and discard any prepared remarks. He has the best words and the biggest mind not to mention the biggest ... err ... hands so it should go well. Only he can fix it.

The result will be another hour of ads ready made for the Lincoln Project.

[LNM]

54. This

The dumbass will bury himself.

[Solly Mack]

27. In the annals of bad ideas there sometimes comes along

an idea so ludicrous in its conception that the world pauses in gobsmacked horror for the punchline.

[NRaleighLiberal]

28. it will end up being about NASCAR and how people get along in the stands

[MissB]

30. Please proceed.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. That should be special.

[CanonRay]

32. They'll never let him do it

[fleur-de-lisa]

55. That's what I think too.

It was announced on Ana Cabrera’s show on CNN but she also said Dump’s aides weren’t committing to it yet. I think they were floating the idea to see what kind of traction it gets. Anyone with a lick of sense would say this is a terrible idea.

[lame54]

33. Will his African American be there?

[dalton99a]

34. "MAGA really loves the black people, but they should stay home because of the China Plague"

"The Mexicans should stay home too"

[yellowcanine]

35. Good. Trump Bingo drinking game!

[spanone]

36. Oh my....

[nolabear]

41. That's really pretty...though it makes me a little dizzy.

[Demovictory9]

37. the speech will contain weasel words... will deny systemic racism

but acknowledge blacks "think" there is racism as if black people are misguided

[stillcool]

39. that's something I might actually watch...

except... someone posted a pic of Trump in the shower, and the image was so grotesque. I need no reminders.

[nolabear]

40. Holy crap. There's not enough popcorn in the world...

[Ferrets are Cool]

42. I would rather watch a cow piss on a flat rock than see one second of that

evil MFer.

[Fiendish Thingy]

43. Please proceed, President Bodybags!

He’ll drop another five points in the polls if gives such a speech.

I’m sure he thinks Steven Miller will come up with the “best words”, better than Obama’s and Biden’s...

[photokath]

44. that will be fun

a drinking game where one gets drunk in the first 5 minutes???

[leftyladyfrommo]

45. That's right up there with the Listening Tour.

Sirry guys. You are way too late.

[SWBTATTReg]

46. Oh great, the racist bunker boy is making a speech on race relations...the most unqualified ...

person probably in this Country to make such a speech.

[captain queeg]

48. I'm the least racist person ever. Believe me!

[empedocles]

49. Borowitz & Onion, step aside

[Cha]

50. GasLighting LYING POS. FO FENCE TROLL BUNKER *******

[treestar]

51. What could go wrong?

[marmar]

53. Will his "African American" be there?

[PCIntern]

56. Some people are saying it's going to be named:

The Annual George Wallace/Bull Connor Speech, named after those two very fine people.

[maxrandb]

57. Nobody's done more for blacks than me

me, me, me, me, my, my, mine.

Greatest economy until my incompetence started killing people.

Just the other day, I was talking to the White House butler. Great guy... strong guy...he comes up with tears in his eyes and says; "sir, you've done so much for black people, before, we had bare cabinets...the cabinets were bare, but now their full"

Dear Penthouse Forum,

This has never happened to me before, but the other night....oh wait... that was something else I was working on.

You know, a lot of people are saying; "America is going to be just like after Jesus came... great guy BTW, but he couldn't have done what I've done... but people are saying, America is going to start tracking year with BT and AT, everyone's saying it.. I've done such a great job... tremendous really... but people are saying, we'll be saying Before Trump and After Trump, because we've done so well

Thank you President Trump"

[Renew Deal]

59. Is he going to say "my blacks"

[dalton99a]

60. He'll say OUR African-Americans

We have a problem that a month ago nobody ever thought about. It is called RACISM.

But it’s gone really well, and they're still treating ME very badly

[Renew Deal]

79. lol

Exactly

"I'm going to put Jared on it."

[Xolodno]

61. Well, this ought to be good.

Going to get some popcorn.

[lunasun]

62. Eww no . Plus you know he will at some point in his race baiting speech blame Obama

Just another chance for him to cause anger or intimidate citizens
Stfu Donny

[Hekate]

63. Is he now? I can hardly wait...

[Hekate]

65. I'm putting my popcorn popper on standby now

[Danmel]

66. Ben Carson said we would be hearing from him

When Jake Tapper interviewed him today after Colin Powell. I cant even imagine what he is going to say that wouldn't make this worse.

[zak247]

67. Trying to figure what the hell you were saying

I got it now...LOL Trump is dump.

[sinkingfeeling]

69. Thought he already did that. "MAGA loves the black people."

[Skittles]

70. HAHAHAHAHA

how would he do this while still dog whistling.....OK SCRATCH THAT......while still USING A BLOW HORN to be racist enough to satisfy his fucked up racist base?

[StarfishSaver]

71. Oh, God

[Talitha]

72. I hope his base tears him to shreds for it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

73. "Black people love MAGA. Black people love me".

[AntiFascist]

74. What will his base think?

We already know how he feels about his "fine people".

Also, one wonders how he cherry picked his secret police force?

[Dorian Gray]

75. Is it wrong

that I hope he actually attempts to do this?

Because it'll be an unmitigated disaster.

[fleur-de-lisa]

77. There's no way he doesn't fuck this up royally.

Please do it, Dumpus, please please please.

[Initech]

76. Pass the popcorn!

[MustLoveBeagles]

78. LOL

I can't wait.

[Withywindle]

80. DO NOT make this a drinking game!

You will probably die. We need you alive!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

81. Overdue but he'll still fuck it up.

"Nobody has done as much for black people as I have."

[helpisontheway]

82. And his advisors think that is a good idea? 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂nt
