Trump on black supporter: 'Look at my African-American over here'

[Doctor Jack]

Source: CNN

Donald Trump sought to tout his support among African-Americans on Friday by pointing out a black man in the crowd and calling him "my African-American."

"Oh, look at my African-American over here. Look at him," Trump said. "Are you the greatest?"
The remark didn't generate a noticeable response from Trump's audience.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN Trump was "just referring to a supporter in the crowd. There's no ill will intended, obviously." She added Trump was "grateful for this person's support."

Hicks also rejected the suggestion that Trump's use of the possessive "my" to refer to the supporter was racist, saying such a charge was "ridiculous."

Sounds like he "loves the African Americans" as much as "the Hispanics"

[Cooley Hurd]

1. His? As in possessive?

Drumpf didn't get the Emancipation Proclamation memo from President Lincoln 150 years ago? Check yer inbox, Drumpf.

[Doctor Jack]

3. Just part of his goal to repeal the 13th amendment

He has to pay his pesky workers every now and then or else the law suits keep coming. This will be his common sense, straight talk way to increase American productivity.

[ehrnst]

23. I wonder if it was his house African American or his field African American (nt)

[scscholar]

53. And even worse, I read that the guy said he wasn't offended!

WTF!

[yardwork]

55. Well, he was at a Trump rally.

[Shrike47]

2. I wonder how much Trump paid for him?

[valerief]

4. He didn't call the man "his boy?" He must be evolving (I say with great sarcasm).

If she were a woman, I wouldn't be surprised if he called her his mammy. Cuz he has so much KKKlass.

I hope that AA man was paid well for his appearance there.

[winstars]

5. He is such a fucking dick. And he proves it every day. (minute?)

[Doctor Jack]

8. "He is such a fucking dick"

No truer words have ever been spoken

[winstars]

10. its really that simple and having grown up in NYC, I have been saying this about him all along...

He is many, many things but mainly:

A FUCKING DICK!!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. "Fucking dick" implies a functional dick

and that gives Trump too much credit.

[RoccoR5955]

35. Okay, how about lousy damn micropenis? n/t

[ailsagirl]

60. ewww

[L. Coyote]

19. How about calling him an incompetent fool.

What you said just reflects badly on you and on DU, no matter how true.

[awoke_in_2003]

25. "Incompetant fool" is just not strong enough. nt

[winstars]

36. L. Coyote because of your great reporting on the Bundy's I respect you and will tone it down

it the future.

Its just that I have heard and read about this "person" for most of my life and he has always deserved these harsh words. I know people in Queens who grew up with him and they say the same thing.

When we were kids in NYC, the oft heard phrase was: "If you don't straighten out you are gonna get sent to military school"...

Well, he didn't straighten out and got sent to away to one... If he wasn't the words I called him his entire life, he would have possibly went to one of those exclusive private schools he probably sent his kids to. But he got sent away and now he is a step away from being President.

Its a bit scary...

[L. Coyote]

70. Interesting perspective on Trump's "military school" as full time detention for the bad kid.

It goes way, way back, the anti-socialist. Another domain of incompetence.

[ailsagirl]

61. I just call him GROTESQUE because that's what he is n/t

[IrishEyes]

57. More like every second.

Every word out of that pathetic, repugnant, vile little man is horrible. He makes me sick.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Ross Perot had a similar love for "you people"

If the roles were reversed would Trump like to be call 'my carrot top friend'?

[sufrommich]

7. Who said it? Donald Trump or a slave trader from the 1800s?

[BumRushDaShow]

9. At least he didn't call him a "blah" person

[maddiemom]

40. Trump's the first person to come along who's ever made me think:

If absolutely forced to vote for either him or Rick Santorum---what would I do (assuming slashing my wrists wasn't an option)?

[Doctor Jack]

11. He would probably get a much more positive reaction from the crowd

if he said "Look at all of my Klan members over here!".

[laserhaas]

12. Ah ..ha ha...what an asswipe this guy us

[red dog 1]

13. "Look...that guy over there is...BLACK!"

Trump gives new meaning to the word "asshole"

[Doctor Jack]

14. I heard they are going to start showing "The Birth of a Nation" to fire up the crowd at his rallies

They expect a very positive response from his supporters

[Mendocino]

18. Next he'll use the term

War of Northern Aggression, refer to Lee and Bedford Forrest as heroes, and claim that David Duke is just misunderstood.

[bullwinkle428]

68. And he'll name his plan to end illegal immigration the "Final Solution"!

And then plead total ignorance regarding the historical significance of the term!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

78. +1000 nt

[left-of-center2012]

15. That is so revealing about Trump

And so disgusting.

[olddad56]

16. Donald was probably thinking that slavery had not been abolished yet.

[Doctor Jack]

17. Makes a lot of sense considering how he treats his workers

[imari362]

20. Oh, he said "him"....

At first I thought he was referring to Omarosa

[Cryptoad]

21. How many,,,,

"African Americans" does Trump own?

[bravenak]

28. Seriously.

[Cryptoad]

30. Seriously

he said he owned one,,,, just natural to wonder how many he owns,,,,

[bravenak]

32. Probably a whole fleet of us

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

22. Oh my God....I'm back to thinking this is a troll....he is not serious as a candidate. n/m

[awoke_in_2003]

26. Part of me thinks...

that he got into the race just for publicity, but he gained a lot of momentum and doesn't know what to do. He keeps trying to derail, but his audience is eating the shit up. Performance art gone horribly wrong.

[maddiemom]

43. Sounds about right to me.

How else to explain it other than his being seriously mentally unstable ( a theory gaining ground with many serious people).

[awoke_in_2003]

46. That is a scary thought. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

24. I should be shocked...

alas, when it comes to this bag of dick, I don't think I can be shocked anymore.

[procon]

27. Trump's comments remind me of Paula Deen's racist remarks. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

31. "My African-American"

Sounds like Trump thinks he owns him.

[bravenak]

33. It sure does

Trump is a creeper

[bravenak]

34. Trump reminds me of Ashley Shaeffer from the tv show Eastbound and Down

https://m.

[dhill926]

37. ok...having a difficult day...

especially with the news about Ali. So fuck this motherfucking piece of motherfucking shit. I hope his eventual implosion is one for the ages....and I hope his supporters are shunned from any kind of participation in public discourse....goddammit...sorry if the profanity fucking offends...

[3catwoman3]

42. Not to worry. The circumstances entirely justify...

...your colorful language choices.

[c588415]

38. Trump: Look at my Uncle Tom over here

[rpannier]

39. The Blacks love him

He told us that 6 years ago
"The Blacks love me!"

[bravenak]

54. I was very surprised to hear that

[rpannier]

72. I thought it was riduculous

Looking back on his behavior over the last year, it's pathetic, and possibly delusional at this point

[klook]

41. My Black friend

[IronLionZion]

44. Was it Ben Carson?

because Trump might actually own certain GOP politicians. He probably owns Chris Christie

[3catwoman3]

45. I heard this clip...

...on the Norman Goldman show as I was driving home from work, and thought, "What the bloody bleeping hell kind of thing is THAT to say?!"

He has no social filter whatsoever.

And what the hell does he mean by "behaving himself"? As if this were unexpected?



(I am getting callouses on my forehead.)

[caballojm]

50. Exactly!

I was just about to post about that because everyone seems to be skipping past it. Reminds me of Bill O'Rielly being pleasantly shocked while dining at Sylvia's in Harlem:

"I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship.
...There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea.' ...You know, I mean, everybody was -- it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all."

[intersectionality]

47. I wonder if he has binders full of his African Americans...

Nt

[PoliticalMalcontent]

48. I don't know, man... It seems like Trump either doesn't want to be President, or he's really that

culturally unaware after living in his bubble for so long... Probably the latter, but holy shit. Maybe both though!

He's a schmuck, and it says a lot that so many people voted for him.

On the other hand, Clinton gladly schmoozed with him at various times through her career, and bleh. That being said, Fuck Trump. America would probably go far downhill if he president, while it will just stay incredibly mediocre with Clinton at the helm. Sure would've been nice to have a better choice.

[jamzrockz]

73. or maybe

he just doesn't have a good command of the English language.

[Gman]

49. Yessah massah

Is that what he means?

[LonePirate]

51. This is the America we can expect if DU's #NeverHillary crowd has their wish granted.

Actually, it will get much, much worse.

[IronLionZion]

52. Trump was talking about this incident:

and feeling very proud of this for some reason. Asshole

[Democrats Ascendant]

56. UGH!

Gotta get this buttwipe not elected....

[ailsagirl]

58. This is great that CNN (again) is printing stories about drumpf that are highly uncomplimentary

Let's hope they continue to do so!!

[sofa king]

59. Oh, I was so wrong!

Only four years ago I said that Mitt Romney had a chance to go down as one of the worst Presidential candidates ever.

That was soooooo 2012. My guesses are the worst. Sad.

[ailsagirl]

62. Nitt looks practically normal compared to der drumpf!! n/t

[Doctor Jack]

63. I remember thinking in 2012 "They can't possibly find someone worse than Romney in 2016"

At this rate, they are going to nominate a rabid dog that has mauled a child.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

64. And we thought Dan Quayle was stupid.

[Person 2713]

65. "The remark didn't generate a noticeable response from Trump's audience"

[Doctor Jack]

69. "Trump owns a black guy, how awesome!" thinks everyone in the audience

[cyndensco]

75. I'm thinking it was more,

"What the hell is that ni***r doing here?!"

[Judi Lynn]

66. How could a grown person be this infantile, and odd? It's like an act of public masturbation

every time he swaggers onto a stage.

There is NOTHING interesting about him. All he has is perhaps a lot of money. That's IT, and his father gave him that.

Hard to imagine there are people anywhere who would go to hear him other than internet[font size=4]S[/font] trolls.

[MrMickeysMom]

67. What to expect from a pig, but a grunt?

Predictably piss poor protoplasm.

[L. Coyote]

71. Opens his mouth, loses his only African-American supporter this week! Way to go Donald!!

[center]

[sinkingfeeling]

74. Does anybody doubt that if slavery was still legal Trump

would own as many as his money could buy?

[sarcasmo]

76. Kick

[TomCADem]

77. Wow, You Just Can't Make This Up
