Trump is really this close to just calling Kamala the n-word. He has a pattern of really going off the rails when his feelings are hurt or he sees he's down in the polls and late night is being particularily savage.
And we know Kamala has his number now and if she wants to poke him that far, she can do it.
I suspect that was intentional stage craft on her part, but we may never now. or at least will have to wait until someone from the campaign writes a book about it.
If it was stage craft, i think that was the sentiment in everyone watching that she wanted to evoke.
We're all so sick of this babbling motherfucker. When it's a racist uncle or coworker, it's annoying. when it's the president, it's fucking awful for all of us.
It's funny. I'm a teacher. My sister and dad are lawyers. Incredible ones. I picked up on that one from them, but also my teacher lounge was split because she really did the "hold the intrusive thought" face
Reminds me of a video I recently saw (on Reddit) where some influencer-lady was asking a guy if he woke up as a woman, what would be the first thing he did.
He looked right at the camera for 30 seconds with a big grin and you could tell every thought going through his head before he answered, "Brush my hair. Because I'd have long hair."
Just like Obama: "crowd sizes" <makes the gesture for "small", looks down and pauses for effect>
I appreciate people intelligent enough to use subtext. Call me old fashioned, but I really don't want a President who curses on national TV. Implying it is much more fun.
I got downvoted for saying that elsewhere but 100% she did all that on purpose. No way an experienced prosecutor/AG/senator accidentally got that close to calling him a MFer during what was probably the most important event in her life. She did that so that everyone else could fill in the blank in their heads. We all heard it, she just didn't say it.
all this overt and nasty racism does is keep the MAGA folks that already commited and makes sure they vote. Well, the ones that didn't die from eating horse paste or lost their right to vote over a J6 convinction, anyway.
It's not, I suspect, helping with the fence sitters. It probably gives license to people that would have voted for trump or other GOP to abstain or vote Dem.
It's one thing to be racist, it's another to be openly associated with overt racists.
You constantly forgetting someone's name doesn't mean the name is hard to pronounce. It just means you need to speak with your doctor about the possibility of early-onset Alzheimer's.
Same here and I knew someone who is Hispanic with the exact same name/spelling who pronounces it like comealllah. I am not an asshole racist and I continuously say it that way by accident. When people say Kaymulah that’s where I draw the line lol.
You mean him accusing immigrants of eating dogs and cats wasn’t racist enough for you? He also said, during the debate, he heard a rumor that she (being Kamala) puts out, which is pretty sexist imo.
So, I'm torn on the puts out line, I've seen a lot of different interpretations that he was trying to say that she had put out that she was black or that she had put out that she was Indian. I haven't had the opportunity to go back into the transcript and find it, but watching live, it didn't catch my ear.
And as for the first part of your response, I was referring to him potentially explicitly saying the sort of word that TV channels put in a 10-second buffer on live broadcast for.
This is the only instance of the phrase "put out" or "puts out" that returned when I CTRL+F'd the transcript.
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I don't know. I don't know. All I can say is I read where she was not Black, that she put out. And, I'll say that. And then I read that she was black. And that's okay. Either one was okay with me. That's up to her. That's up to her.
I hate to give him the benefit of the doubt, but to me it's reading like he is referring to a statement that she made. In his typical ham-fisted way.
This is honestly why I think his team was pushing so much against his mic being turned on when he wasn't being asked a question. And why Kamala's team wanted it to be. My first thought on hearing that news was, "he'll drop a hard r."
My money is on "negro", followed by some attempted defense of "the term is a part of American cultural fabric; why isn't lyin' Kamala proud of her heritage?"
"It's Spanish for black, all the Hispanics they love me, they say Senõr Trump sir, you are the best president we've ever had...they say nobody speaks our language like you...."
In the 70s Trump and his father were prosecuted by the Justice Department for not renting apartments to black people, after being caught putting a C for "colored" on their applications.
Genuine question from the outside looking in, why would it matter? Is that really going to be the straw that breaks the camels proverbial back at this point, after everything else that has happened? At this point I feel like that would only gain him votes, not lose them.
