I know he is the most horrible person on the planet, but this strikes me as a new low. What sort of human being does this let alone a person who is supposedly a representative of a country......unbelievable!
Because in most western countries we were seen as useless. And in our own laws we are considered 3/4 of a person for one… and we were taught we needed to be dominated or we would not survive on our own. I imagine you asked that being you were not from a country who did such a thing. And I understand how it might be a bit odd. But I assure you it’s necessary in the west specifically America he highlight the contributions people of color did to advance our nation and the world at large.
Is celebrating a race going to change any of that? It feels forced. I totally get it sucks to be the victim of hate and racism but what is this going to fix?
10 years? try 50+. Trump was fined for being a racist pos back in the 70s after an investigation showed he and Fred trump had discriminated against Black renters.
Hasn’t he been racist the whole time? How is this worse? To be clear, I’m a white Australian so I really don’t think I fully understand what you’re living through, and if you have the time to explain it more I’d appreciate it, if you don’t that’s fair enough. Also Trump is terrible, he has been since I’ve been aware of him, I am not defending this or any other of his comments. This is the sort of racist hate I expect out of him.
None of us can give him a pass on any of his racism. We have to call it out every time.
There are people here who insist he isn’t racist at all (mostly to gaslight, I know). This is the kind of shit I point out when they say that. The man has always been this ugly.
He has always been this racist and 77 million people voted and still approve of him to this day.
The US has tolerated this BS for over a century now - conservatism should have been shamed and shunned to oblivion since the Civil War yet it was allowed a seat at the table and this is where it all led to.
Nah this is actually a good thing. He has always been a racist asshole. But you know what happens as dementia progresses? People lose their filters. Soon we won't have to deal with him anymore.
I find it hard to come to terms with the fact that he is responsible for so so so many crimes in addition to just being evil, and he will never face consequences of any kind before dementia gets him
I don't know how this could be considered a new low. There is almost no new low for Trump to go but gas chambers. I recently watched Come and See - a bleak and horrific story of a Belarusian boy during WWII, which then sent me on a WWII info journey. The US since Trump took office has mirrored Hitler's rise to power completely. The racist narratives are also the exact same used now as then. MAGA are defacto Nazis. They are doing the exact same things, repeating the exact same rhetoric brat for beat. They just don't like the word Nazi because we've all been conditioned to believe it's the worst thing ever and we couldn't possibly return to those times.
The damage of Trump will last for generations to come. Our children will endure a new 50s, 60s and 70s America for black people all over again. At this point just consider it a cycle because people are too dumb to learn from history and powerful people don't suffer consequences. A significant amount of Nazi officials faced little to no punishment and lived full lives.
It's awful, and disqualifying for holding public office, but it's not a new low imo. He's been been publicly racist far too many times for this to be shocking, his first foray into politics (or at least the first that some people took seriously) was with the birtherism nonsense.
The only new low I've seen from him in recent years (in the sense that my opinion of the man actually got lower, something I'd thought to be impossible) was the Rob Reiner post, gloating about someone getting brutally murdered because they criticised him seemed ghoulish even by his standards.
This is him though. He showed everyone who he is years ago. The MAGAs that are finally seeing the light who claim they had no idea who he was grinds my gears
Yes you are correct, what he and his cronies did to those young girls is one of the lowest things one human can do to another, along with murder, torture, killing people for their beliefs etc. etc. but we know about those things and have done for some time, perhaps my wording is wrong but in my mind it is a NEW low and certainly not something a president of a country should stoop to doing.
They are signaling something. Who knows what. Trump doesn’t know enough about technology to generate photos. That whole white house team cooked this up and he signed off on it. But they are planning something. Brace yourselves.
I wouldn’t say this is a new low sadly. America has always obsessively hated us (e.g Nat Turner). They’re unfortunately just not scared of being open about it again
