I'm really, really sick of Trump using "Low IQ" as a racist dog whistle to insult women of color

I'm not going to post his remarks here...it's all bullshit you've heard before...but it's become Trump's go-to "descriptor" to attack women who aren't plastic surgery Botox Mar-a-Lago fembots who show him the expected levels of fealty.

Most often, AOC and Jasmine Crockett.

I'd bet any amount of money that if you put Trump face-to-face with either of these women, alone in a room, he'd piss himself out of fear.

But if there's anything more odious than racism, it's a racism and misogyny layer cake.

CONTEXT: He had a go at both of them for the "press gaggle" on Air Force One, but as I said, it's nothing you haven't heard before and I really don't want to post it here.

Call it out immediately, keep calling it out until he understands it’s not acceptable. Where are the pit bull media people?

That was the #1 criticism I've heard of Maggie Haberman since Trump's first term, that her priority was staying on his good side to retain access.

I couldn't name one and if there is one, you know he/she wouldn't be allowed anywhere near him.

The mainstream media will never call him out on anything.

up against the IQ of the felon in the White House any day of the week. I'm reminded of one of Trump's professors, William T Kelley's remark that Trump was "the dumbest goddamn student I ever had". Enough said.

Really, that's only quality he has. His voters want and love that because most only have racism to give. They're total zeroes besides that. Maybe less than zero.

Racism, the let the rich fuck me over excuse his followers have used for years.
