Trump has also fielded calls from donors who are upset about his running mate, JD Vance, and the Ohio senator’s previous comments including referring to Harris as a ‘childless cat lady.”
Trump dismissed calls for Vance to be replaced on the ticket, but he also asked advisers if they were aware of the comments before Vance was selected.
At the Hamptons dinner, Trump also downplayed the Democrats’ strategy of painting the GOP as “weird.”
“Not about me. They’re saying that about JD,” Trump said, according to the Times.
Oof. Incredible lack of self-awareness while also throwing your running mate under the bus lol

Trump whipped a violent mob into a frenzy ready to actually lynch his last running mate. JD just needs to look at Pence to see what his own future holds.
If they win, they are going to 25th Ammendment Trump. Then it will be Peter Thiels puppet in charge.
Make no mistake about it.
It would be funny to see Donald stroke out with rage from that. But it would be even funnier to see him stroke out with rage if he is defeated by a black woman. Also it wouldn’t be a fascist dictatorship, so I’d greatly prefer the latter.
lmao he genuinely thinks people don’t find him weird. what a weirdoooo
If by “genuinely thinks” you mean “is in denial”, sure. It’s not so much a matter of believing it or not, he just says what he wants to be true, simple as.
“They don’t hate me, they hate my VP.” What a dimwit.
I feel like it was the kind of thing that worked better before articles were written about it and then literally every article and comment since then has included the word.
Openly talking about it as a strategy feels like it’s turning it into our version of “Let’s Go Brandon” in a way.
I thought the same thing, but it has sparked a huge discussion about if the word “weird” is a good label for Trump, Vance, and the most fervent MAGA supporters. When you’re fighting a cult, I have a feeling it works.
Fair point, I see where you are coming from. This is definitely one of those “I’d rather be wrong” opinions on my end.
It’s a dog whistle. He just wants to constantly remind his racist cult that she’s black, so they won’t focus on him being senile, belligerent, and stupid.
let him spend his energy on people who will anyways vote republicans no matter what even if he is 105 years old
God forbid that he lives up to 105.
I live in a blue state. Almost all of the kids I see nowadays are mixed race. This sort of shit is almost over. As soon as the boomers die out, there won’t be a majority white voter.
In some far future utopia we will’ve all interbred and evolved to a nice caramel/olive skin and our descendents will imagine us as cavemen. If we mange to make it that long.
I gotta say this is actually something I’m disappointed by.
Not because I want white people to survive forever or think any race is better than the other but because I like the idea of living in a world with other races. Like a fantasy setting with different types of elves or whatnot.
I like the diversity and would love to see just how different each race could become while still being the same species.
Mama? Did those white people glow in the dark?
I pretty much do :(
Same. If I stood naked against a white wall and closed my eyes you would swear I had disappeared.
I don’t glow in the dark, I’m just pretty much see-through. I also burn in a matter of minutes in the sun.
Whenever I remove my shirt I hear “The beacons are lit! Gondor call for aid!”
RIP sunscreen manufacturers lol
Everyone needs UV protection to defend against cancer regardless of skin color
Especially in spaaaace.
but in space nobody can hear you cream
I thought that people with darker skin dont need it that much compared to people with lighter skin, especially people with really white skin that instantly get sunburn?
That’s why they’re so afraid. You should see the looks I get from boomers when they see my tanned ass with my white wife
Saying it got him attention. He is gonna keep saying it as long as it gives him attention.

In his mind biracial doesn’t exist so he’ll keep going; one day it’ll stop just not today.
His mind also can’t admit he made a mistake. That quote is just way too perfect “I think I was right”
My first reaction was to wonder why anyone would care what her race is. It is the least interesting or important thing about her
Racial Colorblindness is still racism. Kamala Harris, like anyone mixed race or nonwhite, has had a measurably different experience living in America than her white peers.
Fixating on her race the way Trump and Republicans are doing is absolutely racist.
But hand waving her racial identity away like it is irrelevant is also quite a racist thing to do.
In what ways is it relevant to judging someone’s capability to be president?
Having certain experiences means intimately knowing the problems affecting others in a similar situation, and that puts you in a better position to fix them.
She might know a little bit of the struggles the non-white community in the US have to go through, possibly experienced it first hand one way or the other. That might lead to a more inclusive presidency than what Trump would do.
Yeah, but can that same logic be applied to say black conservatives? Some people see struggles, including their own, as something they should work to help others avoid. Some see struggles as a membership fee or filter to make a better way of life more exclusive and are glad they are there, even if it was hard to go through them.
Plus, not all experiences are equal. While dealing with some racism might be universal for minority races, specific experiences can vary wildly. Think like fresh Prince of Belair where social status and wealth meant Will’s family had a very different environment that was shielded from some of the worst aspects of systemic racism like being stuck in a ghetto with many others but not many resources per person and not much to do.
That’s why I think skin colour alone isn’t a useful consideration, just like it’s not useful to determine if a specific individual is trustworthy or a criminal.
What the hell does “racial colorblindness is still racism” mean?
it’s mostly a problem in the situation where a person goes “Racism is over, you shouldn’t complain”
You can’t dismiss the power that race has in people’s lives to this day because institutional racism still exists, and the consequences of the more overt institutional racism of the past are still in effect.
Rasicm =/= ignorance
So uhh when’s he just going say the gamer word that sounds like neighbor?
Gaybar?
Hunger of Hadar?
Labor?
We know you do, donnie.
I hope he keeps it up. It’s a losing argument and I want him to go all in on it 1000%.
He looks so much more pathetic than usual.
I think he’s entirely too far right, which is the problem.
Of course he does. Racism is what carries his campain. He has nothing else to show for.
Casual racism is what laid the foundation of his cult. He stoked the flames for 8 years with an obsession when Obama hurt his fee-fees at a correspondents dinner and he’s been riding on that wave this whole time
The human race is an unscientific way of saying single species of human called homosapiens. There aren’t more, just us multicolored assholes. Now replace “race” with the real thing… “Trumpfus persists in insulting Harris by calling her a fake black person as his campaign flounders since shooting: 'I think I’m fucking racist”
In added fucking. He didn’t say fucking.
Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t. Will you walk out of the air, my lord?
