DONALD TRUMP IS CHANGING HIS CAMPAIGN SLOGAN TO PROVE HE’S NOT RACIST

After a week of nonstop criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike for comments many condemned as racially charged, Donald Trump claims to be altering his campaign to be a little more inclusive. While the presumptive G.O.P. has long promised to “make America great again,” Trump now says he’s adding two words to slogan to illustrate just how non-racist he really is.

“You know, I have the theme ‘make America great again,’ and I've added a couple of things,” Trump announced to supporters at a campaign rally in Richmond, Virginia, on Friday night. “Right now I’m adding make America great again—I’m adding ‘for everyone,’ because it’s really going to be for everyone. It’s not going to be for a group of people, it’s going to be for everyone. It’s true.”

The allegedly amended slogan, which has yet to appear on any official signage or Trump merchandise, comes after the presidential candidate spent the first half of June repeatedly denouncing Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge of Mexican heritage presiding over the Trump University class action lawsuit, as inherently biased against him. (Curiel was born in Indiana.) His comments were widely condemned by the Washington political establishment, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who suggested he may be an idiot, and House Speaker Paul Ryan, who called Trump’s statement the “textbook definition of a racist comment.”

1. I feel much better now.

[trof]

19. You even look a little better.

[Major Nikon]

2. That may cause him more trouble

For Trump supporters, "great again" means a return to the days when they could be more overt with their racism like Trump.

[rurallib]

5. the very thing that came to my mind immediately

his base ain't a gonna like it

[lunatica]

36. They'll explain it away as Trump just joking

They're always ready to say that what he says doesn't mean anything just after saying that he says it like it is.

Evidently jumping from the one brain cell in their skull to the only other one isn't very difficult.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Making America Hate Everyone?

Yeah. That's an improvement, Orange Man. You are the gift
that keeps on giving.

[volstork]

10. Exactly

like a perirectal abscess!

[jtuck004]

4. He's evolving too. n/t

[rurallib]

6. Well, that should fool the blacks, latinos, women, poor, middle class, muslim

and every other group he's insulted.
They will all just forget everything he ever said.

Unless, unless - someone recorded him saying that stuff and it can be replayed in commercials.


for the humor impaired

[sofa king]

21. Hear, hear!

Trump doesn't make me ashamed to be a white guy. He makes me ashamed to be a human.

But like I keep saying, everyone whom Trump has targeted plus me equals a landslide for Hillary Clinton.

[PatSeg]

7. "Make America Great Again for Everyone"

As long as they are white males!

His followers will just read between the lines (yeah right) and everyone else will know it is BS.

[63splitwindow]

8. Read my lips...

I am not a racist!

Yep, that's the depth of thought of him and his ilk. Fortunately, not nearly the majority is so shallow and stupid.

[NuclearDem]

9. For Everyone*!

* Everyone may not be your everyone. Your everyone may vary.

[Plucketeer]

11. If all the "Great"

ever dumps outta Donald at once, we're gonna need the GREAT LAKES to flush it all away.

[NastyRiffraff]

12. Oh, goodie a new slogan!

That must mean Trump isn't a racist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic asshole after all!

And the new slogan will still fit on a bumper sticker. A bit crowded, but hey!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Trump unveils new hat design

Make America
Great Again
For Everyone *

* except Mexican judges, Pocahontas,
bleeding women, all Muslims,
unpaid contractors, [continues on back]

** includes "my African-American"

[yardwork]

34. That is funny. Thank you for adding a little levity to a depressing subject.

[Scootaloo]

14. Now all he has to do is turn his logo into a kinara and he'll be set n/t

[forest444]

15. Reminds me of the Viva Bush bumper stickers.

Which did indeed have some success - until Hispanic voters discovered that sub-prime lenders had been specifically targeting them, and with the approval (if not outright encouragement) of Bush-era regulators.

[mahannah]

16. Not enough lipstick on that pig.

[murielm99]

30. AND, not enough room to print that on the hats.

It won't work. Think of all those wasted hats!

And we know what he is anyway. Shut up, Donald.

[IrishEyes]

17. Well, now he's got my vote. That solves all of his problems.

Wait, except that he has so far outrightly insulted

The Disabled, Women, Asians, Blacks, Latinos, Veterans, Gays, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Immigrants, Scientists, Journalists, etc.

Also, the phrase "make America great again for everybody" isn't effective. It still doesn't answer the question of when was America great for everybody?

Most of my large family are older, white, rich republicans. I am a liberal democrat. I've asked them what they think of this election. Nobody in my family is voting for Trump. They can't stand him.

[postatomic]

18. But he still hasn't paid for the old hats he had made

Oh well. Maybe he can use them to panhandle after his entire "empire" comes crashing down.

[Doctor Jack]

20. Well, this changes everything!

I can't believe I ever doubted him. I guess you can call me a "Trumpocrat" because I am on board!



What a fucking dumbass.

[ToxMarz]

22. Note to Ivanka:

We're going to need bigger hats
YUGE hats

Love D.

[Enrique]

23. the hat just got an inch taller

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

24. His followers will hate that

They want to be assured they're "Taking their country back"

[TexasBushwhacker]

25. He's what I call a "racist but"

They say "I'm not a racist, but ..." and then say something racist.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Revlon doesn't make enough lipstick to pretty up this pig.

[Lance Bass esquire]

27. Today in Fla

To paraphrase : I love the mexicans..I have thousands of them working for me.

Came across as: I love the mexicans ..everyone should own one.

[Iggo]

28. If it's for everyone, including me and you, who exactly are we taking our country back from?

:headscratch:

[pandora nm]

29. This?

[Sunlei]

31. TO LATE. REPUBLICANS MAKE AMERICA HATE.

[Scuba]

33. "It's true," Trump lied.

[Bragi]

35. Hope Media stay all over this

I predict most Trumpistas won't update their signs, which will become something media will now report on, and ask about, at every rally. The explanations for not updating the slogan from his racist base base will be fascinating.

[chelsea0011]

37. By everyone, I suppose that also includes that fictional person

he could go out and shoot on 5th Ave. and still lose no supporters? I have never and never will get past that batshit crazy comment. he can say shit after shit everyday and I will always go back to that as the dumbest.

[smirkymonkey]

38. Sorry, cat's out of the bag already.

It's a bit like getting toothpaste back in the tube.

[jmowreader]

39. Y'know, guys, when I read the thread title...

...I thought he was changing his slogan to "Some of My Best Friends Are Minorities." See? All better!
