Donald Trump is proving he’s racist and stupid with his latest post.
In a Truth Social post Thursday morning, Donald Trump appeared to suggest, again, that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris isn’t 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, worried that attacks on Harris’s race and gender—which seemed all but inevitable considering Trump’s history of racism and misogyny—would pose a serious liability for the campaign. “We hope he doesn’t act like a crazy racist and sexist person, but we can’t control him,” a source close to the campaign told The Washington Post.
These hopes were quickly dashed in the course of Trump’s interview with the National Association of Black Journalists Wednesday afternoon, in which the candidate claimed that, for years, Vice President Kamala Harris “was Indian all the way, and then suddenly she made a turn and she became a Black person.”
The guy is one of the dumbest people alive. He isn’t good at anything but fooling dumb people. He is the king of the dumb people and there are more than we thought.
It’s not reductive. It’s factual. Quit polishing a turd. He’s a moron. He can’t even fuck a porn star and pay her without being caught. He’s so dumb he can’t hide investment lies without being caught. He can’t plan to overthrow the government without documentation.

“There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent.” ― Lao Tzu
Your not acknowledging his strengths, which have absolutely gotten him this far. That’s a deadly mistake, one the Democrat part has already made far too much.
His strengths didn’t get him this far. His daddy’s money did.
He’s not my adversary. He’s an asshole I would rather not exist and is the epitome of stupidity. He doesn’t have strengths. He bought fame and sucks at life. I don’t need to acknowledge him as anything other than the scum that represents more scum. And you sound like you support him more than you dislike him.
I don’t support Trump. I don’t think there’s anything that could happen that would make me vote Trump instead of literally any Democratic candidate. Even that aside, I really hate narcissists.
But you’re living in a bubble if you don’t want to acknowledge how he got this far, and you lash out any one that tries to break it. Way too much of the Democrat party does. It’s how they lost, and could lose again.
Saying he’s dumb as hell isn’t saying he’s not a clear and present danger to democracy. It’s just saying he’s dumb as hell. A person can be dumb and dangerous at the same time.
I’m not living in anything. You don’t get it. I’m not a public figure. I’m just some person on the Internet. There is no need for me to see any good in a person. And he is that person.
Yet you’re here commenting on Trump news, posting what you think he’s like, and you have an interest in the Democrats winning.
I guess it doesn’t matter much one way or another on Lemmy (we won’t find many Trump enthusiasts to argue wtih here), but I feel that critcism of him can be much stronger if you look into his history instead of willingly ignoring it, and see what he’s like.
What does that have to do with anything? You are commenting on how much we should respect him. I don’t think we should. For any reason. He isn’t against me. I don’t need to respect a goddamn thing about him. And those that do are mentally ill.
Not respect, understand.
I’m a firm believer that we should make every attempt to understand what we hate.
What are you on about? I don’t need to understand stupidity. It shouldn’t be put on a pedestal to examine. When people say racist shit, it ain’t a strength. When they convince people to follow they aren’t wise. They are a predator being a piece of shit.
I’d be interested to see your take on his prowess as a trickster as mentioned in the parent comment.
We’d be really mad at someone who designed a 3D printed nuclear bomb and used it on our families. They might be socially inept and bad at geography and have no grasp of international affairs, so kinda dumb in some ways. They’d definitely be very evil. But when it came to nuke engineering, they’re evil & not dumb.
I don’t worry I’m glorifying the impeached ex-president when I say “he’s good at fraud.” He has said and done many evil things, including some cunning ones. He’s dumb in some areas. Am I really polishing a turd right now by acknowledging a horrible horrible person isn’t entirely an idiot in every facet of his life, rather only most of them?
Maybe 45’s narcissism is indeed the bigger headline. Narcissistic, evil, morally an idiot, cunning at (smart at executing) certain scams… if we just say “nope bad at everything, 100% dumb” we’re underplaying how dangerous he can be, no?
