Ok thanks, I saw that part and it did not strike as laughing WITH Trump in the least. I lol’d as well when I first saw, because he’s a buffoon

Armed with the link I provided to zeze, maybe zeze can figure out which logical fallacies Trump is employing there

So is that it? That’s all the evidence provided?
He's claiming that if you watch the whole thing, there is more of the same. I'm not motivated to go through all that, because I trust the opinions of @Roger Wilco and @Amused on this one (they've already watched it for us).

I have no idea how many Trump staffers are on hand at an event like this; but if it was a lot and they were boisterous, then essentially they fooled the OP into believing it was NABJ attendees who were cheering on Trump. At this point, he's not changing his opinion and there's no sense trying. In fact, he calls it "lunacy" to disagree with his observations.

What I don't understand is what's Trump's point of claiming Harris not being black. He's not black either so why even bring it up? The way his mind works is so weird.

He's trying to imply she's an opportunist who will use any angle to win votes. With DJT, it's ALWAYS projection of course.
Like I said in a different thread, Harris has to my knowledge always been proudly Black. Trump is just full of shit, but at least he's consistent about it. :p

She pledged to, the oldest black sorority in the US, at Howard University back in the 80's IIRC.
If that's not saying you're black, I don't know what is.
So the orange menace is full of shit as usual

not sure how many maga types you are around from day to day, but they are big on the idea that minorities are "using" their ethnicity to get ahead.

Every time one of them starts whining about how white people (especially white Christian men) are being held down, I just hear the peasant from Monty Python's Holy Grail. "help, help, I'm being repressed!" Buncha whiny ass whiners who can dish it out (for 400 years) but can't take it apparently. A level playing field looks like a pit when you've been on the mountain, is how I see it as a white dude myself.

So to Trump and his merry band of racists, it's some kind of "aha!" moment when they think they've caught someone "abusing" their lofty status as a minority. I mean, who has TWO THINGS??? "She said she was Indian! Now she said she's black!" Gotcha!

I just watched it again. Definitely one of the more noteworthy and entertaining trainwrecks Trump has inflicted upon himself. I really like watching him try not to grimace when people laugh at him.

And then he and his handlers run away like someone told them Kamala's motorcade just pulled up.

At least that cowardly orange traitor is good for some laughs. Run fascist, run!

But the scary thing. Blacks that support them won’t get turned off by yesterday.

It's quite fascinating to a racist like Trump and his minions that a bi-racial person can identify with both parent's ethnicities. 🤣

A cursory examination of this thread leads me to believe me I am not attached to to this opinion, that the OP believes that Trump made a good speech somewhere. If I have this right then my response would be so f-ing what. What would I care if a known psychopath who is rapidly degenerating mentally might perform like a trained seal. No matter how well he might perform his typical tap dance he remains a dangerous threat to the US as a Presidential candidate. You would have to be profoundly deluded to be impressed by anything he does. He was a master con man. It shouldn't take more than a couple of brain cells to see that. He reeks of narcissism. Jesus, wake up.

Oh that's right. Woke is a dirty word.

Racism has its origin in self hate, the last thing we want to know we've been programmed to feel but the effort to suppress all awareness of that inner rage and desire to get revenge for what we were put through makes it leak out safely via projection. It's not OK to hate the people who fucked us over as children because they made us fear to fight back, but it's perfectly OK to dump that hatred on those we were likened to as a means of putting us down.

Of course to be told you are worthless creates a need to feel better and one way to do so is to claim somebody is actually much worse, somebody other, somebody who is identifiably different, and for whites being black is an easy target.

And after centuries of racist bigotry blacks can fall victim to prejudice themselves and hate themselves, of course unconsciously, for being dark skinned. This is the phenomenon that creates what we call Uncle Toms with Clarence Thomas as a good example. There are many many advantages to being a Black hating Black provided your self respect is profouldly damaged enough, which of course is what self hate does.

I find it interesting that the charge that conservatives are weird seems to be effective as a slur. I have seen it as click bate in internet ads for a rather long time. My theory is that we are so insecure about ourselves because of self hate that we need to keep up with anything weird so we ourselves can have a heads up not to be weird ourselves. Seems like it requires incredible courage just to not care what others think. Here is a saying that helps me with that. Try to please people and somebody will be offended. Please yourself and somebody will be offended. Any question which way to go?

You can't sell policy that nobody wants, that stinks like shit. There is no clean end of that turd so they will not handle it. This " pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" on policy has come home to roost for these fuckers and I could not be happier.

This is such a weird thread. The OP continuing to say s/he hates Trump while praising 'his great performance' is sus and reeks of bot account... And the delusion is far worse. Could be a hijacked account.
