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
Yeah I donāt think itās that big a deal. Especially if people already know sheās half Indian and half black. I wasnāt gonna push my political opinions because I donāt want this person to think of me any different and not a dirty little commie liberal.
Definitely understandable and your choice if you want to put yourself out there like that to be judged. I tend to focus more on political leanings with family since itās more my area of effectiveness. I will say though, that the more exposure to ādirty little commie liberalā ideals they see, the more it might seem like not such a far-out there idea.
