If he weren't a paid plant do you think that black man would be able to get that seat right behind

1. That guys is apparently real and scary nutz

giveaway is the gods2.com on his T-shirt

2. All those people with the Yellow wrist bands are the paid

happy clappers.

[JoeOtterbein]

3. The guy may be a "plant", but what does being black have to do with a guy supporting Trump?

[DesertFlower]

6. either he was a plant or looking for his

15 minutes of fame.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

19. Attention-seeking for sure. There was something very wrong with this guy.

[Hekate]

7. You really have to ask that? After the Mad King's embrace of the effing KKK?

[JoeOtterbein]

9. We should never call anyone a "plant" without some kind of proof. That has nothing to do with Trump.

Even after Trump's insane speech tonight.

[DesertFlower]

4. i was wondering about that too. he kept

jumping up with that sign. if he was my son, i'd disown him.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. He's a crazy cult leader. Really. He is.

11. He's really crazy isn't he?

[dalton99a]

34. +1

[FlightRN]

8. Does anyone read the articles?

Post after post. The man is insane. Read what your fellow DUer's post for you. Goodness.

[JoeOtterbein]

10. Yes, he is likely legally insane, IF adjudicated as such. And, at the same time the fact he is Black

...is TOTALLY irrelevant.

Updated to correct spelling in the title. x2

[FlightRN]

12. It's relevant because a mentally ill person

Is being used by Trump to show he is NOT racist, when in fact he is. A man is being used as a prop. If that's okay with you then goodbye...

[JoeOtterbein]

13. Using mentally ill people as a prop is evil. My own mentally ill son was left in TT prison in LA...

...for months despite a judge's order to release him because he was adjudicated as unable to care for himself. So please don't. Please.

[FlightRN]

17. Okay so aren't we on the same page?

I'm am so sorry about your son. I did behavioral health nursing prior to trauma. I believe you may know that the medical field considers those with psychiatric disorders a vulnerable population. One to be protected.

This is my concern for this man. He's seemingly being ushered to these rallies and used. His writings on the website are schizophrenic in nature, if they are indeed real. So this is making me very upset. He is a human being who needs help and instead he's being used. It's sick. I don't think we'd disagree on this? I hope you see where I am coming from now. I'm on my phone at work and I've tried to explain it as fully as I can right now. If I'm unclear, I apologize.

[JoeOtterbein]

20. Yes. That is exactly why we should not point him out...

I feel heartbroken for him, AND those close to him.

[Egnever]

22. Oh for the love of pete

You are going to have to try harder

[FlightRN]

24. I see

I know you're coming at it from a parent angle and I am coming at it from a professional angle. I understand. It's terribly sad and it's terribly wrong what Trump is doing and it pisses us both off but for different reasons. I can't NOT say anything, but I can stop speaking to it now. I apologize. I know now Joe, I didn't before. Thank you. I have a call out, so please have a good night.

Emma

[JoeOtterbein]

28. Thank you Emma. Please sleep well tonight.

[Egnever]

23. OMG you two are ridiculous

It is not one guy it is a cult/gang

They have been behind Trump many times.they are not victims. They are using Trump every bit as much as he is using them.

Both of them are despicable.

[FlightRN]

26. Have a lovely night.

[Egnever]

31. .

[jberryhill]

36. No. There are people who simply post what pops into their head, and do not read much on DU

That guy, his cult, and his appearances at Trump events go way back, as do discussions of him specifically here at DU.

For some, DU is simply their personal blog where they post stuff, but don't actually read much.

[Egnever]

14. This is the first time you have seen him?

That clown or some of his cult members have been in the background for Trump since the primaries.

Go to the website on his sign and you will see how crazy they are instantly. The funny thing is Trump let's those lunatics stand behind him because they are black, completely ignoring how bat shit crazy they are.

Somewhat amazing he hasn't been raked over the coals for giving those clowns attention.

[JoeOtterbein]

15. Ok, but that has not one thing to do with him being Black, or being mentally impaired.

[Egnever]

16. No idea what you are going on about

Trump is letting those lunatics stand behind him to show her has the support of black people. That is it full stop.

They have been there since the primaries.

Trump gets to show black people behind him they get to advertise their crazy ass cult.

No normal president would let those lunatics anywhere near them. Trump does because he knows most people won't bother going to the website and seeing how fucking crazy they are hell he may not even know because he is an incurious fuckwit

He would not be there though if he was not black. He would just be another clown in the crowd with a goofy sign.

[JoeOtterbein]

18. Thanks! That is why we do not need to add things the RW can blame us for...

...like attacking a mentally ill Black Man for supporting Trump. We need to live up to our own standards.

[Egnever]

21. I don't think you get it

It's not just him and I have no idea if he is legally insane.

He is part of a cult in Florida I think and several of the members of the cult have stood behind Trump.

Whatever gave you the impression he is just one mentally unstable individual was wrong. The cult he belongs to appears crazy as hell to any rational person but that doesn't mean he is actually crazy. Nor does it means the rest of his clown car that have also stood behind Trump are actually insane.

If you are trying to protect people with mental issues that is a nice thing but these clowns are not mentally ill in the sense you think.

They are just members of an unhinged cult.

[jberryhill]

37. So, let me get this straight...

If I say that Jim Jones, the leader of the People's Temple Cult responsible for the death of 2500 people in Guyana, was crazy; then I'm "attacking a mentally ill man"?

I'm not sure you understand the situation here with this person.

[SweetieD]

25. This dude is a cult leader and has a criminal background. I really can't believe the secret service

allows him so close to Trump all the time.

[Egnever]

29. I can't believe it isn't pointed out what nefarious assholes these clowns are

Every time Trump lets them stand behind him to get his black cred.

[JoeOtterbein]

32. I think it is because Trump is a criminal, racist cult leader. He, as POTUS, leads by example....

...but horses do not need to be led to water when they are dying of thirst for more racial divisions.

[forgotmylogin]

33. I checked the URL on his shirt.

I checked the website on his shirt. It's all about Democrats fostering the KKK back in the day. Couldn't read it. If the Ds were that way in the past, they certainly aren't now.

He seemed like he was having a good time, and he kept finding new and interesting ways to fold his sign. I was hoping he'd fold out a previously hidden "?" so it would read "Blacks for Trump ?"

[MFM008]

35. Did anyone see the movie

"The Life of Brian".
Remember the scene of the street preacher (Terry Gilliam) screaming nonsense in the street with 2 or 3 people standing there?
That's the maggot in chief and ONE of those guys had to be Mr. Hopping up and down and most likely WELL paid
sign guy.
