I see people saying that Trump went to #NABJ fire up his racist base, that makes no sense to me - he was tied in the polls.
You can’t win with just your base.
He turned off a lot of independents.
He may have fired up his base, but he cost himself the election.

DJT hates women. But there's nothing that he hates more is a person of color trying to hold him to account - DA Bragg, Fanni Willis, and especially a black woman journalist.
It seems the plan was that it would be an open panel discussion, which his team thought it meant softballs, so DJT would be able to hit them.
When you are a narcisist and a racist, who are only surrounded by sycophants, even the slightest pushback or challenge is an insult.

Let's unpack this. His team thought any question not related to his imaginary friend or sharks or bird deaths was going to be a tomato he could crank out of the park?
@InUnfunky @PussyFootingAround @Bliss @Bix @CLManussier
BUT even if everything was a softball question, he can’t prevent racism and sexism creeping into the convo.
Partner suggested he thought this was one of his rallies, where everything could be laughed off. That “when did she turn black” would be met with snickers.
Which in a way sounds more believable. He kept repeating it, as someone who can’t believe his “joke” was failing.
Which makes him even more horrific.
That's horrible. As a bi-racial child it was tough growing up in the US, DJT's commentary only makes it worse. I can only think how Usha's kids and those who are bi-racial must be feeling right now.

Bliss sending you love. Fuck the racists.
@Bliss @feloneouscat @InUnfunky @Bix @CLManussier
Exactly. I would love to know the conversations they have as a family and how they explain this to their kids.

“#IOKIYAR for us, scorn and scapegoating for them. Tax cuts and deregulations uber alles!”

You forgot, "We won't force you to give birth, sweetie."
@InUnfunky @PussyFootingAround @Bliss @feloneouscat @Bix @CLManussier
China is doing that too.

They are trying to over correct from banning births for years.
@InUnfunky
they need more bodies to be sacrificed for the mother country.

I don't think he thought of it as a rally at all. The disdain for being there was dripping off of him. He knew where he was. He knew why he was there. Like everything else, he couldn't control some of his most feral impulses & that is to be racist, sexist, & misogynistic to his own peril.
he is posting pictures of Kamala & her Indian family on his online diary right now doubling down.
Again, asking for Usha, what's wrong with being Indian?
