“I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world!”
Yeah. Indeed, ConDon has provided us such a *SPLENDID* demonstration of his own claims!

[anon_user]

I’m starting to wonder if he really passed the cognitive test…

[Dan-udhz]

The word you're looking for is "incorrigible". Trump is irremediable. And irredeemable. That's what Conservatism is too.

[epochchange]

Glad that the UAW endorsed VP Harris for President. Dump wants to abolish unions and dismantle the Labor Department. It's all right there in Project 2025!

[Anthony-wczv]

I am glad we got to see his truer self. He is full of hate and grievance. No trump ever again.
We're not going back!!! Vote blue 💙

Don't call Trumps behaviour "childlike", because that's an insult to children.

[LLL]

He’s such an embarrassment, not to mention a failed and fraudulent businessman, who is legally banned from running businesses, universities, and charities. Why would anybody think he should be near a seat of power?

[zuirkjg]

Michael Steele picked up another aspect of Trump that I think is just as powerful as the "weird" thing - and that's "childish". I'm amazed journalists haven't focused on it more. For a man approaching 80, who wants to rule the World, his thought processes are extraordinarily immature.

This is who Donald Trump truly is. You could always count on him to say the quiet part out loud. He's not tactful with his words, nor is he graceful with them either. Because he doesn't have a filter.

Dear racists, will you please make up your mind: Is Harris to black or not black enough to be president? Your waffling is sad to watch. Man up and own up to your views!

[nonsibi]

I watched the NABJ "live" and came away with the insight that Trump had no intention of engaging in a dialogue, anymore than he did at the Biden/Trump debate. Trump, terrified that he was no longer at the center of the media spotlight since Harris and the DNC grabbed it, desperately wanted to "make a scene" and, thereby regain the media spotlight. And he's gotten it! He reminded me of a poor impersonation of 'The Larry David Show'.

[rodkoehler]

Totally agree with the former RNC chairman on this. We need to see this.

[zeromotivation]

Notable that he was pulled off stage as soon as someone started to ask a 2025 question.
Also on the DEI question, he asked for definition, ignored the answer to that and kept asking for the definition. Then, like all the other questions did not answer the question.
Also the petty move of grabbing the journalists water.

[Northcountry]

Soooo, is he Weird, Orange or Both ?

[Tomscomment]

He thinks he can attack anyone as he likes, but everybody has to be "nice" to him just for who he is. Textbook narcissist.

[macspectral]

I'm hearing his irritable bowel was acting up today, that's why he was so touchy.

[jsun]

Her father’s parents are Afro Jamaican. 80% of Jamaicans DNA is African. I don’t understand why mixed race is complicated for some .😂

[robbiehollywood]

Why is it so important to make people believe, Kamala Harris is “black“?
Are we judging by the color of skin now?

[eynnettebailey]

Yes, that went very well for the Third-graders camp!! What that was is him "Owning the Lib's", and him (as Caucasian folk back in the day saying) "You put them Black folk back in their place"!!

[gersonhay]

They did not let him start the Narrative, NABJ put out the First Strong point and Trump was Hit in the Gut.
