The GOP candidate for president cannot manage his mouth

Trump continued his multi-day effort to court the African-American vote with an appearance Saturday night on Fox News.

Trump’s message to the black community: Your lives are so miserable, I couldn’t possibly make things worse. He ignores the black middle class and describes the entire racial group as uneducated, unemployed and desperate.

Trump told Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro that blacks in America have “no health care, no education, no anything.” He described the lives of African-Americans as “a total catastrophe.”

Pressed on what he would actually do for African-Americans, Trump said that he would “get jobs,” without elaborating. Trump also promised to bring “spirit” to African-Americans by being a “cheerleader.”

Trump’s argument ignores that the vast majority of African-Americans have jobs, health insurance and do not live in poverty.

    Bumbling and bloviating, the campaign to elect Derp to the presidency goes on.

    I thought he was supposed to reset his campaign and start reading actual speeches with actual facts.

      I guess the reset won’t work unless you switch dbags too and not just use teleprompters.

    …AND, it’s not even close to being the most racist sh*t to drop from his orange pie hole.http://deepleftfield.info/the-collected-quotes-of-donald-trump-regarding-the-blacks/

    Has he not met Omarosa? I thought he is the one that brought that piece of work to us, maybe he doesn’t realize she is African American?

    Racism expresses itself in a variety of ways.

    Team Trump’s racism toward the African American community is expressed by their tendency to apply stereotypical socio-economic identifiers and character traits to an entire ethnic demographic group of people, followed by a haughty disdain for these character traits and by their arrogant, condescending suggestion that they — as an outsider to the culture — understand the challenges facing people of said demographic group better than members of the group themselves.

    “Your lives are so miserable, I couldn’t possibly make things worse.”
    Maybe they didn’t all have rich daddies who could afford to buy them anything they want.
