So he dished up some casual racism on live TV this morning

[senseandsensibility]

This is what he said about undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it These people do it naturally. Naturally...they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

As Sherrilyn Ifill pointed out on bluesky, the "inner city" people are blacks, and "these people" are Latino.

1. Utter Ignoramus. It's mortifying.

There's still over 3 years to go.

[Buddyzbuddy]

5. But we can stop much of this in 18 months.

Say it with me, "18 months". Much easier to digest.

[senseandsensibility]

6. Thanks for the pep talk

We need to encourage each other!

[Buddyzbuddy]

9. Absolutely!

[maxsolomon]

14. Not really easier to digest.

The 2026 Midterms are 15 months off, to be precise. 17 months till those elected take office.

We won't take the Senate, and SCOTUS has given MFer free reign to ignore Congress (should Dems win the House Majority).

[Buddyzbuddy]

18. Ok

[Skittles]

33. I hear you

[Buddyzbuddy]

39. Thank you

[LymphocyteLover]

20. certainly not with an attitude like that!

And he can still be impeached by a Dem House.

[maxsolomon]

30. Yes, failing to take the Senate will be the fault of my poor attitude.

Commenting on DU doesn't obligate me to be a Pollyanna.

[LymphocyteLover]

40. just teasing

[AllaN01Bear]

28. i will not

do this ,

[IcyPeas]

2. Wasn't there a name for that?

also can we talk about how "we tried" to get the "people that live in the inner city" to do the farm work? I feel like there was a name for that. does anyone remember the name for that?

3. I read this transcript online but didn't realize

that he said this on CNBC, not FAUX or NewsMax. To me, that's scary that he feels that comfortable saying crap like this on a somewhat neutral station.

[BaronChocula]

19. He's not really known for his filters

from one network to the next. Remember his comments on Judge Curiel who presided over the trump university fraud suit? "He's a Mexican. We're building a wall between here and Mexico."

He said it several places including CNN.

[senseandsensibility]

22. Yeah, I guess I'm out of the loop with his comments

because since day one I have refused to listen to him, muting if I can't change the channel until his lips stop flapping. I don't subject myself to what he's saying unless someone else is quoting him or in text form. And I rarely post about what he says, but this one was shocking to me.

[BaronChocula]

25. I should do more cheato muting myself

And BTW, I agree that calling Sherrilyn Ifill a racist is a bit of a stretch. Her work speaks for itself. But I didn't want to get into it seeing as the poster identifies as coming from the Inner City. You handled it well. Of course "inner city" has been universal code for "black."

[barbtries]

4. So Black people don't work

and Latinos have superhuman backs.

says the laziest FUCK in the world.

[llmart]

7. Well, he did live in a city.

Guess that means him and people like him wouldn't do the work.

[Rebl2]

13. He can't

even walk a golf course. He’s so lazy he uses a cart to get around to cheat at golf.

[Kid Berwyn]

8. Entitled turds don't have to work.

And while they haven't had to work a day in their fucking useless lives, every fucking body else has to work hard as hell every fucking day.

[MiHale]

10. Bet trumpy didn't try...or his kids...or their kids...or their wives...

So dumbshit not everybody.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

11. Ummm

Inner city people are just as much white as they are black as well. That is a racist statement point blank. I was born and raised in the inner city (I'm white) and there were and are many, many, many white people still there. People need to stop with their generalizing.

[senseandsensibility]

12. Yes, of course, but I think Sherrilyn Ifill (who is black)

is pointing out that trump is using a codeword for black people because apparently he has some hesitation to just state that he thinks black people are lazy or whatever. As usual, there's a lot of dishonesty mixed with the racism.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

15. Codeword

Codeword or not, she is using a racist statement just as much as he is. I take offense to it. I have no problems calling her a racist to her face just as I would call Trump as racist to his face.

[senseandsensibility]

16. I'm not sure that I understand

Sherrilyn Ifill is accusing trump of using a codeword, not using it herself. She is just pointing out that that's what he is doing. She's not condoning it at all, in fact quite the opposite.

[Orrex]

17. I wish he'd get a bad back and die

[underpants]

26. 🤣

I just had to explain to my family why I was heartily laughing

[Initech]

21. Days without Trump being a national disgrace and embarrassment: 0

[WestMichRad]

27. And that's the highest number he'll ever achieve.

A Zero, indeed.

[progressoid]

23. So the obvious solution is to deport the people who actually do the work!

HE'S A GENYUS!

[Pas-de-Calais]

24. What a maroon

[LymphocyteLover]

42. An orange racist maroon

[tanyev]

29. Readability Analyzer, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 4.5

[ShazzieB]

31. Uh, Donald......?

Just how the hell are "people that live in the inner city" supposed to get out to the areas where this work exists?



He's so stupid that he probably doesn't even know that farms are a very, very long way from the "inner city" and are not served by public transit.

[Skittles]

32. JFC

can you BE any more fucking DEHUMANIZING?

[senseandsensibility]

36. Dehumanizing is the word for it

And the corporate media should be presenting it that way. Dems should attack him with this relentlessly as well. It is beyond the pale to most people, certainly to independents and Dems who are the majority.

[FakeNoose]

34. Well Jeez, when Stephen Miller is writing his speeches and tweets, this is how he sounds

Just sayin'

[ananda]

35. So, what's the fractured history involved here?

That is: why Blacks live in the inner city, and why Latinos work
the farms.

I guarantee you... it has nothing to do with physicality.

It has more to do with the way racism worked in rural areas,
and that 4 million Black people were forced to starve to death
after the Civil War.

[FHRRK]

37. I have spend many years on this earth

And although I have seen some small farms in cities, the vast majority of farms are in rural areas. So how in the fuck is it inner city workers who won't do the work?

[B.See]

38. So, he's a racist POS. But then

we knew that already, didn't we.

Or at least, those of us who weren't "undecided."

[Sneederbunk]

41. Can't visualize TSF working the rows.

[calimary]

43. All I can think of anymore is "WHEN are we rid of him"?

WHEN?

How many more years? We’ve got three-and-a-half years to go, just in this current nightmare. I find myself wondering how long after the end of this miserable four-year term will we have to wait, before he’s gone?

And I don’t mean merely gone from the White House. I mean GONE. (As in “The BIG Gone”)? WHEN will he be “no longer a factor” as they say in aviation.). Or shuffling off his mortal coil. I’m sure we’ll eventually have other villains to cope with. But none of ‘em can out-asshole the donald. Could well be another 70 or 80 years before another scheming schmuck at his “level” steps up to claim the “crown”.

[uponit7771]

44. Yep
