    A strong contender for most racist trump quote of the day.

    Though it is up against Sr discussing a migrant fighting league, so it’ll be a close one today.

      Migrant fighting league?

      Soooooo …like, MMA, but Americans are barred from combat?

      Is this what he meant by immagrants coming in to our country to take our jobs? Our MMA fighter jobs?

        I said, 'Dana, I have an idea. Why don’t you set up a migrant league of fighters and have your regular league of fighters. And then you have the champion of your league – these are the greatest fighters in the world – fight the champion of the migrants. I think the migrants’ guy might win, that’s how tough they are.

        Dana White said it was a joke but also mentioned:

        Trump added that White didn’t like the proposal, but he said it was “not the worst idea I’ve ever had,” calling migrants to the United States “nasty, mean” and “tough people.” White confirmed Trump’s comments at a news conference in Saudi Arabia Saturday.

        It may have been a joke but calling migrants nasty and mean is not really funny.

      Hmmmmm…when it’s put like that. It’s like the Trumpe are saying “We’re racist”.

    If there’s anyone who knows the plight of the black experience in America, it’s a rich, white New Yorker who grew up in a penthouse suite.

    Also, I’m guessing plenty of black people know what his position on the Central Park Five still is even years after their exoneration.

      You think “I’m Eric!” has ever had an original thought?

        Once, before the brainwashing took hold, Eric likely had some original thoughts. Now he’s just a younger version of his father, a sad creature doomed to be nothing more than a puppet.

    The former president has claimed the criminal charges against him will appeal to Black voters. In February, he told a group of Black conservatives that his indictments are “why the Black people like me.”

    Holy hell…could he be more insulting? “They’re all crooks so they’ll like me because I’m a crook like them”.

    Oh, they’ve lightly retconned it to mean “I’m persecuted for false charges like them” but that’s not what he said on the first go around. And he did exactly to the black community what he says they should relate to him for when he went after the Central Park Five.

    Is it true? My knee jerk reaction is ‘what utter racist bullshit’, but then why is Trump gaining black male voters since the beginning of the year?

      “Gaining” is doing some heavy lifting in that comment. The only “source” in this article is the idiot son.

      I mean, it might be as simple as “my alternative conservative candidate is no longer in the running”. It could take a lot of diving into the stats to figure out the actual cause and effect.

          Last I heard, he decided to bow out of politics after his anti-semitism blew up in his face. Maybe someone finally forced him to take his meds?
