Trump: I will tell you that coming, coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking black jobs, you have the best…
Female Reporter: What exactly is a black job sir?
Trump: A black job is anybody that has a job that is what it is anybody that has a job…

He’s definitely off his game a bit. He’s usually about making sure his comments can be interpreted multiple ways. The black jobs comment and saying Kamala recently turned black in the space of 35 minutes was a tough stretch for him.
I'm an anti-Trump voter BUT I don't think that Trump's comments (about K. Harris, at national Black journalist meeting) were particularly RACIST. Racism would be to say, "because she's Black she's stupid" or unqualified or whatever. His comments were factually inaccurate -- bluntly false, IMO, or (perhaps in the opinions of his supporters) merely the type of hyperbole that is usual in political campaigns. He was pandering to his base, rather than trying to win new supporters. It was a bad setting in which to try to pander to his base. But this idea that he's somehow BIGOTED about her is a different idea, only vaguely supported by his comments.
To me, it's basically this. "OK, I'm Trump and I'm going to go say the things that people like for me to say, when people like me. The people who like me, like me to say these sorts of things. So here are these things." Thus, it makes the statements poor choices (these weren't people who would approve of those statements) and it makes clear what sorts of people he would prefer to be pleasing (his base). But it doesn't suggest that he's stupid enough to think that Harris is incompetent, to the point of incapable of winning an election, strictly because she's Black (or Indian). People in politics know, don't underestimate the opposition. Trump didn't.
PS these are excellent quotes from Puddy Tat. I also spotted one in a different thread, by a Black business leader and philosopher, about how married Black couples have very little crime but "Black" culture was stupid exploitative etc. etc.. All very to the point.

Trump attended the event; Kamala couldn't be bothered to attend. She plays the black card, yet can't grace black reporters with her presence.
And, the reporters were on CPT, yet Trump patiently waited 30 minutes for them to start. Then, the reporter began with her hostile line of questioning. But it's TRUMP who is the a'hole?

The OP hasn’t been in a club in 4 years. He desperately needs to get laid to clear his racist ideas from his head.

This is how the Democrats act, or as CJ "Title Couldn't Say It All", here ya go:
Merriam-Webster: "Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"
In this instance I think he was flustered and ended saying something foolish. He’s clearly not as sharp as he’s been in the past, not at Biden levels, but it’s undeniable. He’s been flailing ever since Biden dropped out.
All these fuckers coming into the club I'm "working," taking MY job. They think they can come in with their club pants, smoking a little weed (I don't mind that part) and muscle in on ANY of the girls in MY club!
It's absolute anarchy at the door.....completely porous.....security just lets them in. It's total bullshit.
The OP nitpicking over a poor choice of wording - let’s not forgot what Biden said:
“the person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity. And that person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court”
—
That may be the most racist, sexist comment any (modern) President ever said.
How do exclude entire races of people? And limit it only to females? This absolutely is worse than any stupid comment by Trump to reporters
Trump was TOO SCARED to take NABJ (National Association of Black Journalists) Stage!
