Trump claims that he didnt know Kamala Harris is black. He says she turned black a few years ago. He says she was Indian and then she made a turn and became a black person.
End snip
He's making enough commercials for Kamala to last the season.
Weird whiny old racist.

(4,983 posts)illegals taking "black jobs". When asked what a black job is all he said was "A black job is any job" and then continued referring to "black jobs".
He was also ranting on about countries "emptying out their prisons and insane asylums". Is there any evidence at all for such a claim??
birdographer
(2,487 posts)He must have read about people seeking asylum here, and since he has no vocabulary he read that as people coming from insane asylums. And his whole MO is to keep his followers scared shitless and so he wants them to think prisoners are coming to get them but not to worry, he will fix it. The man is a moron.
Disaffected
(4,983 posts)But, since IMO it would not be entirely surprising that some countries might try such a thing. I still wonder if there any credible evidence to support such a claim?

(63,728 posts)"Fidel Castro emptied out his prisons and insane asylums and sent them here" was a big right wing whine back in the day. Exact same words.
This will resonate with older Republicans, including wealthy Cubans in south Florida.

AZ8theist
(6,389 posts)He's just a vile racist pig. Been that way his entire life. Taught by daddy.
And a really, really low IQ.
This was my first thought. Very similar to his attacks on Senator Warren. He's really reaching down into his misogynistic, racist insult tackle box to find a slur that got some traction in previous situations. What a fetid, weird piece of shit
FormerOstrich
(2,729 posts)he has confused the two women. In his mushy brain he is thinking the are the same person.....
Ursus Arctos
(29 posts)I think this is a real possibility. He may be confusing Vice President Harris and Senator Warren. He doesn't know the difference between Indian and Native American and all women are interchangeable to him. Since he has a history of confusing Speaker Emerita Pelosi and Nikki Haley and as recently as last week he confused Nikki Haley and Vice President Harris, I could see him doing this. More evidence that the misogynistic, racist is also in severe cognitive decline.
FormerOstrich
(2,729 posts)Unfortunately I have been around way too many narcissistic misogynists. Plus, there has been a lot of dementia in my family.
All women are inferior to him. A woman (which obviously there are few and it's not Hillary because she is more memorable to him IMO) challenged him awhile back...and here she is again.....but wait she claims to be black now....what was that name I gave her before?
There are far too many times I think I understand him when it seems gibberish to most.

(745 posts)to be as absurdly racist as possible.
He is not trying to get black votes.
He knows the election is lost to him.
He will cheat and use his loyal shithead base to again attack democracy,
His useful idiot base needs to be strong.
So he feeds them this racist red meat.
I wonder if he will continue to have rallies after he loses.
all the ruckus of the election and the fallout violence (hope for none), there are but three things tsf can be.
1 He will be dictator.
2. He will be a "king in exile".
3. He will be in prison.
and there will be rallies.

(5,189 posts)With his MAGA crowd it probably will. With anyone else, they are appalled. So, let him talk all he wants when he is unscripted.
Besides, he never once answered a question that was asked. He just rambled the same old same old BS over and over and kept digging himself deeper in the pit.

(24,092 posts)with all candidates, but especially Trump, is to cut their mic when they refuse to answer the question and instead ramble on about another topic.
Trumo would walk off the stage or set, but so what?
But, since nobody would ever actually cut off someone who evades the question, just allow time after the interview to discuss the possibilities on why questions were evaded. Maybe that would discourage interviewees from doing it.
