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
There are cultural differences between Afro-Caribbean people and āblackā (ADOS) Americans. The trump fans might be trying to use that to drive a wedge in the Democratic Party.
But thatās like the difference between Scottish and Irish people. They are basically the same in English history, lesser people to be conquered. Meaningless when it comes to racism.
I donāt know that many MAGA folks with that nuanced a view of race.
Yeah I was worried Iād sound insensitive by posting that. But honestly, to this specific group, I want to just say O now skin color doesnāt matter.
