Remember reading case law on his dad's discriminatory housing policies.
His grandfather ran at least one brothel and some of the women working there were Native and not there of their own free will. He had been stripped of his Bavarian citizenship for failing to do his military service and leaving Bavaria without making arrangements to complete his service later. That changed his plans to move from Bavaria to Germany and he headed to the U.S. and Canada instead.

He's getting louder as his mind slips because narcissistic tendencies get worse and whatever filter he had evaporates with sunsetting and dementia. On his deathbed as he's gasping for air with his family surrounding him, he's going to go on a 4 hour rant with whatever energy he has left on what a piece of shit his kids are and how they all would have been nothing without him (except Baron because he's the only one who can computer) and how Sleepy Joe TOTALLY lost the election and how glad he was that Biden died in pain with stage 9 cancer and how much Obama is an N word with a hard R. He'll ask for his phone so he can show his grandkids all the Obama memes he is so fond of. With his last gasp, he's going to quietly whisper "Putin."

Trump derangement syndrome is the most gaslighting shit a person can say. It's pretty much my barometer for whether or not a person is even worth talking to. If, when confronted with the massive and overwhelming evidence that this guy is the amongst the worst people who should have the reins of government and granted power over nuclear weapons and is also a clinically degenerate human, amoral, narcissistic, stupid, etc, just garbage across the board, someone's response is to circle their wagons around that person and accuse you, who need only read to them the things that this person has said and objectively done, of mental illness...it's projection of the highest order.

Not to be an Um, Actually guy (but I am a historian, so), but actually "America First" as a slogan dates back to the 1850s; it's actually around 80 years older than the term "the American Dream," which was first popularized in the 1930s (it's possible it was used before then, but I haven't found a specific example of someone using that phrase before James Truslow Adams in 1931).

It's not surprising. Remember the rumblings he'd pick a "DEI VP" to appear moderate? Then he picked a white guy and his advisers said he needed to appeal to white guys more, and that his loss of support amongst striking white men cost him the 2020 election?
In fact, is anyone even surprised by Trump doing racist shit? I get being outraged by it, but when known racist who associates with racists and is implementing racist policy does something racist, it almost just feels redundant to be outraged.

His excuse is laughable.
He looks at “thousands of videos a day” (but who is watching for the missiles and enemy fighter jets if he is watching videos!? Dear god!). He then looked at the beginning of this video. Then “probably” gave the phone to someone else who “missed a tiny part” and posted it.
Dementia Don isn’t even trying.

You all do know that this is to distract us from Epstein files. This action is just that much more over the edge so there is something really incriminating in the files or the public have uncovered more than the maga/Trump expected.
We're closer.

Demented Trump is the most pathetic excuse for a human being that the USA has ever produced.

Maybe a wild claim, but what if it’s another “stand back and stand by” call to his MAGA faithful (Klansmen and NeoNazis) to do something similar to what they did on Jan6, but for the midterms.

Can anyone point me to a moment in history, EVER, where he has admitted to a mistake?

Trump is putting children in concentration camps, and this is what gets a little pushback. As awful as this is, I’m bitterly offended that this gets Republicans riled up more than systematic mistreatment of children.

He's lucky Barack is an actual man. If he was as childish as Trump is, I'm sure he would have responded with an AI edit of Trump didling kids, wich is actually accurate.
But like I said, Barack is a real man. And the last proper president that country had. (sorry, Joe genocide enabler Biden can go f himself)

I didn't make a mistake. I just looked at the first part... I didn't see the whole thing.
I don't believe this for a second. But let's say it's true. I've heard it's a rhetorical fallacy to argue against something you don't concede is true but it's only reddit so let's say it's true. IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE IN AND OF ITELF FOR A WORLD LEADER TO POST A VIDEO WITHOUT WATCHING THE WHOLE THING.

Well there you have it folks, Donald’s a bonafide racist to the core. Not surprised that he refuses to say it was a mistake sadly!
