Trump’s unapologetic racism crushes even a silent Donalds, Carson

File this under Must be seen to be believed. Donald Trump is truly the racist of racists. He doesn’t even know when he’s racist. He freely spews racist tropes and clichés, because to him, they are real. And oh yes, he has his token blacks. There are always a few Oreos on his payroll and plenty more where they came from, ready to sell them for a few dollars. Here’s Trump hosting a “barber roundtable” with two of his best black friends – who look like they’re trying to pull off a Mike Pence-style invisibility act. (Remember when Trump announced he was going to shut down the government and “bear the mantle” to do it – and Pence stood still and tried to sink into the upholstery of the Oval Office chair?)

Trump calls into the “Barber Shop Roundtable” hosted by Ben Carson and Byron Donalds and talks about how black voters now love him because of his photo. That’s his whole message to black voters: You should love me because I’m a criminal. https://t.co/puFIVexOqu

Yeah, Donald, between the photo and the sneakers, they love you so much in the neighborhood. Well, that’s what they told you in Detroit, with tears in their eyes, big strong men: “Thank you, sir, for coming here to the neighborhood.” Barack Obama never gained the upper hand. He just wasn’t cool like you.

Trump is the king of bullshit

And that’s how it’s perceived. But he thinks he’s winning over the POC with all that. Let him think.

For the record, neither Elvis nor Frank Sinatra were ever convicted by a jury of 34 crimes. But that won’t stop Trump. He’ll just mix it up, being Mr. Cool.
