They All F*cking Hate Me! Trump Ranted About The Blacks After His Response to George Floyd UnrestBy Tommy Christopher Jun 18th, 2021, 8:46 am
Then-President Donald Trump regretted not taking a harder line against protesters in the wake of the late George Floyds death, lamenting that the Blacks hated him and would never vote for him anyway.
According to Wall Street Journal reporter Mike Benders upcoming book Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost, excerpted by Politico Playbook, Trump was seething in the immediate aftermath of Mr. Floyds murder, and regretting the meager criminal justice reform he had reluctantly supported.
Trump had staked nearly his entire campaign in 2016 around a law-and-order image, and now groaned that the criminal justice reform that Kushner had persuaded him to support made him look weak and even worse hadnt earned him any goodwill among Black voters.
Ive done all this stuff for the Blacks its always Jared telling me to do this, Trump said to one confidante on Fathers Day. And they all f hate me, and none of them are going to vote for me.

pro right wing and the rich powers that be have recently been marketing "Spanish speaking
Rush Limbaugh types" on radio stations geared to Hispanics.

(10,842 posts)That was my first thought. It was anyone with a brain and heart that hated Donald with the fire of a thousand suns.
How strange, too, that now there is an admission that Trump's campaign was in free fall.
All he had to do was follow the science and listen to his own medical advisors. Despite all the missteps, mistakes, outrageously callous and corrupt behavior, had Trump taken the lead on Covid containment, he probably would have won a 2nd term.
But the man's arrogance and ignorance wouldn't permit him do that.
His own lack of character defeated him. Thank the stars and Joe Biden for that!

As for Joe and Kamala? We lucked out for sure.

(70,589 posts).... of undress @ one his creepy beauty pageants, claimed he didn't rape a woman because she wasn't
"pretty enough," has paid for God only knows abortions, paid off sex workers to keep quite, is currently
married to a Slovenian hooker who entered the country illegally, and hung out w/Jeffery Epstein and yet
some woman and Evangelicals still support him?
Tell us what you really think, Botany.
Of course, everything you stated is true. The man is simply not a decent human being and his treatment of women has been abysmal.
Which is why his very name conjures up such angry passion. The fact that the Republican Party is still carrying a torch for the man says everything you want to know about how broken his rabid followers are. They would rather have a doddering, vindictive autocrat in the White House than someone (Biden) who will get the country and her people back on their feet.
It makes no sense but underscores the cult-like nature of the support.
Botany
(70,589 posts).... don't care. One of the reasons why McConnell wants to stop any kind of investigation into the 1/6/21
violent attempted coup because it would expose too much information. I might be wrong but Trump's being
installed into the White House and other dirty parts of the 2016 elections by in a large part by Russia was
part of the largest crime to ever hit America.
"It makes no sense but underscores the cult-like nature of the support." But to Trump's dumb fuck base
he scratches their racist itches and to them it feels good.
No argument with this:
Trump's being installed into the White House and other dirty parts of the 2016 elections by in a large part by Russia was part of the largest crime to ever hit America.
From election night on I've considered Trump as an illegitimate pretender, a Russian asset. His supporters either don't care or are active seditionists. They are anti-democratic and unAmerican. When people tell you who they are, believe them. We have a number of Republican Senators (the Republican House is largely a lost cause) attempting to make our Republic weak and dysfunctional. That's not an accident. McConnell has thrown down the glove. We need to metaphorically strangle him with it.
Which is why we continue to fight and deny the GOP power right down to dogcatcher.
The next few years will be critical.

(70,589 posts)... to help keep that hidden. The Obama administration screwed up in not making that information
public although we did hear about Hillary and her emails 24/7. Also how many GOP senators took
millions from Russia in 2016 under the guise of contributions from the NRA? Putin although evil
knew on how to get his targets loaded with "compromat."

(10,842 posts)Republicans have told us what they're after: autocracy not a democratic Republic. They will do whatever it takes to make that happen.
As Rachel Maddow constantly warns: pay attention to what they're doing, not what they say.
As for the kompromat? We can only guess but I cannot fathom another reason why Republican pols toppled so easily. Maybe the hack job the Russians did in 2016 (on both Dems and Republicans) revealed a lot of GOP secrets, the sort Republicans are deathly afraid of having exposed.
Lindsay Graham, for instance.
Hillary's loss was a tragedy for the country and the American public. She said she was the only thing standing between us and the Apocalypse.
She was right. Once again.
But Biden and Harris give us a chance to repair the damage and turn things around. Thank our lucky stars and may those same stars stay constant in the future. Along with a lot of hard work from Dems, Republic-loving Indies and disgusted Republican voters.
We've been warned. There won't be a second warning.

(1,789 posts)The only time he has any second thoughts or regrets is when in his own view he was not evil/stupid/Trump enough. And it always comes with "Somebody talked me into it."

(19,119 posts)Trump fueled racism and racist policy across the country. And he thinks people are stupid enough to think his minor CJ reforms were significant enough to make a difference in the racist system. A few pardons of prominent black people were seen as what they were, naked tokes to try to win over people he was harming everyday.

(12,509 posts)Maybe if African Americans all bleached their hair blond and acted/looked more Norwegian (see Fox n' Friends) back in 2016, they wouldn't now hate his f***ing guts with the heat of a billion white hot exploding suns.
Now Dump is probably going to make it really hard for Black people to get an apartment in Trump Tower, and other Trump/Kushner Slum Lord properties. As if......
