"H appeals to the mindless majority,I can't believe he said what he said but he'll shrug it off blame everyone else for misunderstanding what he said. I do genuinely believe he's partly responsible for the current state of the world today and the spread of misinformation,his Blaise attitude has almost made it seem perfectly ok to spread bullshit and lies not to mention his personal attacks at others.

I haven’t got a clue but it looks like I’m the odd out."Given that she comes from split parents she can call herself whatever she wants. Her competence as a president is far more important than being Indian or Black. Surely she's just American, why the need for labels? | |||

He can plant a seed and the Internet does the rest..."His followers need constant feeding of this sort of nonsense to keep them onside and donating money. That's why he has to do it. Otherwise they lose interest and go back to shooting each other. His problem is he also needs to win votes from swing voters who are probably more worldly and intelligent. I doubt this appeals to them. His next problem is the main reason not to vote Democrat was Biden's age related competence. Harris just needs to be competent and a unifier to be the next POTUS. Trump knows this already and is appearing desperate. Perhaps he is getting advice from Rishi and his team. They followed the same route.... | |||

Two points:
1. The fact that he is asking the question in the first place - why?
But remember he did the same with Barack Obama.
2. That he asks this question at a convention hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago.
What colour she identifies as really isn't the issue.

I did smile when I read this and yes one would think there was some sort of a strategy to what might come up although I'm not sure what he's said in relation to this issue would have ever entered his people's minds as anything other than wtf.. He didn't testify in the hush money trial which I would think was his lead council not allowing him to.. | |||

He often goes off-script and someone comes out later to "clarify", or he gets guided off. This happened during his presidency, too.

Surely his PR people must have known what he was going to say in advance?" Sort of…. At the beginning where trump talks about the event running 30 minutes late because of “technical issues on the organisers side “ ….. well the NABJ’s side of the story was that they told the trump team that the people doing the interview were going to fact check him in live time.. and they absolutely did not want this and refused to come out You will notice the only time they did it was on the abortion question where he claimed democrats supported it right up until live birth… which they rightly stated that is actually illegal in all states | |||

"Trump’s been making great inroads with Hispanic voters and to a lesser extent with black voters. This has no doubt been a major annoyance for the Democrats who think that they can rely on black voters to overwhelmingly support them come what may. A bit like the UK Labour Party has always assumed that it can rely on the north of England to vote Labour no matter how shit Labour is. It harks back to Biden’s comment about people “not being black” if they don’t vote Democrat. The clear media messaging here is that black people need to “get back in their lane” with the group identity and stop thinking independently." Good point, what about Labour. Joking aside. This is a good insight to how people who like Trump will react to his comments. Trump can do and say anything, they just don't give a fuck. | |||

Absolute bs… sorry this sort of spin needs to be called out! If that is your take with what happened yesterday you obviously have not seen 1 second of the 34 minutes of that interview Trump literally went off the plot from the very first answer and got no better, he was woefully unprepared for what he could or would be asked (probably because of the type of interviews where he has been lobbed softballs by Fox News, Newsmax, OANN ect) and wasn’t prepared to the pushback to his stock answers (when he did answer them and didn’t go off on a tangent) | |||

"It’s a very silly thing to say and there are many political things he could challenge her on without going down this route. However, he isn’t the only one who uses very clumsy/inflammatory language. It wasn’t long ago that Biden said “poor kids are just as bright as white kids”…. The USA does have a problem with clowns rising to the top, always has, always will. The UK says “Boris Johnson”
And Liz Truss.
Why was Liz Truss a clown?

"Trump was clearly just trying to stir up controversy, and saying stuff that he knew would get headlines. But it does make me think. Back in the day America had the "one drop" rule, which effectively said that if you had any black heritage, no matter how small, you were black, and hence prohibited from certain things. That law has rightly been repealed, but it seems that nowadays people are queuing up to claim that they have one drop of black blood, and therefore deserve special treatment. I wonder if there is a backlash growing amongst people who consider themselves "properly black", and don't like all these newcomers trying to join the club. Is it possible that Trump had scripted these words in attempt to appeal to those people? Just to be clear again, I'm not attempting to justify Trump. I'm just wondering whether this was a random meander from him, or if it was a pre-planned thing." I think you give Trump too much credit. I think it was just random brain firings, as per normal. | |||

You mean are you trying to ask if he is trying to split the “lights” from the “darks”…… sorry, I am being really facetious…. Let’s me try and answer that question the nicest way I can… if you think there is advantage to being black, I’ll let you take the questionnaire… and you can join the club!!
(I hope you took the above in the joking spirit I said it!)
Something came to me whilst I was in bed last night… trump plays this card a lot
Remember he has form of questioning identity before
Remember the barrack Hussain Obama.. and him demanding to see the long form birth certificate and that he wasn’t born in the US
Did you also know he played the same thing with ted Cruz in the republican primary saying he parents weren’t American and he was born in Canada
And then in this primary season when he was having issues with Nikki Haley, (she also has Indian heritage.. mum Indian dad white) he started calling her by her full given name, Nimrata | |||

"You mean are you trying to ask if he is trying to split the “lights” from the “darks”…… sorry, I am being really facetious…." That's what I meant, but if I'd phrased it that way I'm sure the responses I got works have been rather different. "Remember he has form of questioning identity before Remember the barrack Hussain Obama.. and him demanding to see the long form birth certificate and that he wasn’t born in the US Did you also know he played the same thing with ted Cruz in the republican primary saying he parents weren’t American and he was born in Canada And then in this primary season when he was having issues with Nikki Haley, (she also has Indian heritage.. mum Indian dad white) he started calling her by her full given name, Nimrata " That does seem more likely, just sowing doubt in people's minds that they know who she is. | |||

"What special treatment are you talking about?" Mostly it's just the ability to shut down all criticism by claiming that the other person is racist. | |||

"H appeals to the mindless majority,I can't believe he said what he said but he'll shrug it off blame everyone else for misunderstanding what he said. I do genuinely believe he's partly responsible for the current state of the world today and the spread of misinformation,his Blaise attitude has almost made it seem perfectly ok to spread bullshit and lies not to mention his personal attacks at others. He'll just pull the old "I was nearly assassinated" card every time he does or says something the likes of you and I couldn't get away with. Let's hope he's gone to far this time and he's assassinated his own presidential aspirations." Facts!!! | |||

"I wondered if this would come up…. I decided not to because I know I’d be accused of “something or other “ If you have not watched the entire 34 minutes (he was due to be interviewed for an hour… but his team cut it short!) I would absolutely encourage people to do so!! I would call it a shitshow… but that would be offensive… to shit!!! Black twitter was an absolute riot last night….. the hashtag #wheniturnedblack may have some of the funniest things I have seen in ages
I’m going to ask the question….
Did she in the past claim to be Indian, and what do Indians prefer, Indian, black, of colour? How does she prefer to be described now?
I haven’t got a clue but it looks like I’m the odd out.
Two points:
1. The fact that he is asking the question in the first place - why?
But remember he did the same with Barack Obama.
2. That he asks this question at a convention hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago.
What colour she identifies as really isn't the issue.
"Trump is about causing division. You can't look for rationale in a human that clearly doesn't have any. He's one of the most dangerous people around. I say that because he has a frightening amount of power and influence over ordinary people, who are then going to follow him and do something stupid or dangerous. There is never an in-between when it comes to Trump supporters. | |||

"Trump has crapped the bed, instead of changing the sheets he's decided to roll around in his own excrement. "Good point! Terrible mental imagery. It's got so far down the road these days that nothing he says will ever get the 'never-trumpers' to change their minds about him. So what does he do?.....double down on everything that upsets them. By doing so he cranks up the 'forever-trumpers'.. It's nothing more than reality TV and mindless entertainment. Gotta love the meltdowns though. | |||
