President Donald Trump did a roundtable with his Black supporters who sang his praises for policies and attacked reporters and commentators of color like CNN’s Don Lemon and longtime commentator Roland Martin.

During the Wednesday roundtable, Trump was asked again about why he feels the fallen Confederacy must be “protected.” The president praised bases named after the Confederacy, saying that they were icons of “winning.”



When asked about it, Huffington Post reporter Jen Bendery noted that he refused to answer, “twice.”

Can't alienate that base. He's gotta have a roomful of bigots in Jacksonville (pending).

1. Black SupporterS?

5. At least two. Ex-sheriff what's-his-name-in-the-hat and candace owens

[leftieNanner]

9. Oh! And let's not forget

Rhinestone and Rayon

(Diamond and Silk?)

I think Omarosa has left that team behind.

10. Geez, I forgot all about them.

I wonder if they were smart enough to invest the blood money they made from their shameful modern minstrel show because I think they've reached their expiration date.

2. Well,

He is a CON-Federate. That's gives it more than one meaning.

Cheers to all our confederate, racist, promiscuous gun toters whose last BIG violent protest was a matter of treason and splitting the country apart. Don has your backs and you have his full support, well, until its your turn. Fine losers on that side!

3. It's actually Losing, Defeat, and Slavery

but what the hell. Kinda like Belushi's famous speech in Animal House.

6. Losers

4. PINO Doesn't Know The Confederacy Lost

He tweeted the word "winning" about the Confederacy!
He clearly doesn't realize they got their ass kicked & THEY sued for peace, & THEY surrendered!
What a dunce.

7. Yeah, that speech about race relations gon be LIT!

[npk]

15. He'll probably just blame President Obama

While talking about how the stock market has been going up up up up. If we are really lucky he may break out some "sleepy Joe" classic hits and then turn it over to Pence or one of his dimwit lackeys to bring it home. Really useless speech that I am sure his base will eat it right on up.

8. Fort Manson. Fort Bundy. Fort Gacy. Fort Dahmer.

Go for it Donnie! Winners all!

[malaise]

11. I thought he hated losers?

Expose this monster

[AleksS]

12. If the bases symbolize winning...

Why name them after the losers?

(He does know the confederacy lost, right?)

No military force in history killed as many soldiers fighting under the American Flag as the confederacy. Why any patriotic American would do anything more than spit on confederate graves is beyond my understanding.

16. tRump is so stupid he barely even knows history

This is the same idiot that thought Fredrick Douglass was still alive.

[Ilsa]

13. "Fabled?" It also means imaginary,

which is more appropriate for IQ45 since he lives in an alternate reality.

14. Donald Jefferson Davis Trump.

17. Way to conflate name change with shutting down a base, you asshole.

Because, that's you're doing here, you racist sack of shit. We're onto you. Just like we're onto you with your planned Juneteenth rally in Tulsa. The dog whistles are loud and clear.
