🍊 🐔 Donald is having a meltdown at NABJ




Trump claims that he didn’t know Kamala Harris is black. He says she “turned black” a few years ago. He says she was Indian and then “she made a turn and became a black person.”

End snip

He's making enough commercials for Kamala to last the season.

Weird whiny old racist.

illegals taking "black jobs". When asked what a black job is all he said was "A black job is any job" and then continued referring to "black jobs".

He was also ranting on about countries "emptying out their prisons and insane asylums". Is there any evidence at all for such a claim??

He must have read about people seeking asylum here, and since he has no vocabulary he read that as people coming from insane asylums. And his whole MO is to keep his followers scared shitless and so he wants them to think prisoners are coming to get them but not to worry, he will fix it. The man is a moron.

I think this is a real possibility. He may be confusing Vice President Harris and Senator Warren. He doesn't know the difference between Indian and Native American and all women are interchangeable to him. Since he has a history of confusing Speaker Emerita Pelosi and Nikki Haley and as recently as last week he confused Nikki Haley and Vice President Harris, I could see him doing this. More evidence that the misogynistic, racist is also in severe cognitive decline.

Unfortunately I have been around way too many narcissistic misogynists. Plus, there has been a lot of dementia in my family.

All women are inferior to him. A woman (which obviously there are few and it's not Hillary because she is more memorable to him IMO) challenged him awhile back...and here she is again.....but wait she claims to be black now....what was that name I gave her before?

There are far too many times I think I understand him when it seems gibberish to most.

with all candidates, but especially Trump, is to cut their mic when they refuse to answer the question and instead ramble on about another topic.

Trumo would walk off the stage or set, but so what?

But, since nobody would ever actually cut off someone who evades the question, just allow time after the interview to discuss the possibilities on why questions were evaded. Maybe that would discourage interviewees from doing it.
