Donald Trump is proving heās racist and stupid with his latest post.
In a Truth Social post Thursday morning, Donald Trump appeared to suggest, again, thatĀ presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris isnāt really Black, ramping up his identity-based attacks to the horror of those in his party who consider racism a losing electoral strategy.
Earlier in the week, many GOP strategists, including in the Trump camp,Ā worriedĀ that attacks on Harrisās race and genderāwhich seemed all but inevitable considering Trumpās history of racism and misogynyāwould pose a serious liability for the campaign. āWe hope he doesnāt act like a crazy racist and sexist person, but we canāt control him,ā a source close to the campaignĀ toldĀ The Washington Post.
These hopes were quickly dashed in the course of Trumpās interview with the National Association of Black Journalists Wednesday afternoon, in which the candidateĀ claimedĀ that, for years, Vice President Kamala Harris āwas Indian all the way, and then suddenly she made a turn and she became a Black person.ā
What does that have to do with anything? You are commenting on how much we should respect him. I donāt think we should. For any reason. He isnāt against me. I donāt need to respect a goddamn thing about him. And those that do are mentally ill.
Not respect, understand.
Iām a firm believer that we should make every attempt to understand what we hate.
What are you on about? I donāt need to understand stupidity. It shouldnāt be put on a pedestal to examine. When people say racist shit, it aināt a strength. When they convince people to follow they arenāt wise. They are a predator being a piece of shit.
