Trump is a chauvinist abuser. He hates women. There will never be a situation where Trump has honest respect for a woman. He is incapable.

If you vote for Trump, you vote for the abuse of women. This is on you.

Never voting for Trump is the solution.

Trump is addressing the NABJ as I type this (July 31 2024 14:39 EST) and hoo boy is he bonkers. Right out of the gate he insulted the host as hostile & rude, then referred to Kamala Harris as "Indian before she turned Black".

For those who missed this (or can't stomach watching) here is NABJ's live fact-check of all his many lies.

VP Harris at the NABJ compared to Trump's appearance there is just amazing.

Wajahat Ali:

Dear readers, I am not a doctor. I’m just a simple writer. I share this because I don’t know if there are indeed “racist bones” in the human body. I also don’t know what’s in “people’s hearts.” Thankfully, I’m married to a doctor who has assured me such a bone doesn’t exist. My brother-in-law, a cardiologist, has also assured me there’s no specific valve or aorta that is devoted to racism.

All we have to go by is people’s repeated actions and behavior that the world can observe with its own eyes and hear with its own ears. To quote the late Maya Angelou, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Well, Donald Trump has shown his racist ass his entire life. This is the feature, not the bug. I’ve been covering him for nearly a decade ever since he descended the fake golden escalators to announce his presidency. During that press conference, he referred to Mexicans as “rapists” and “criminals.” That was the amuse-bouche of an endless buffet of xenophobia, anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, anti-Asian bigotry, anti-semitism, and misogyny that has defined his political career. I’m going to do a test, purely for myself, to see if I can list off at least 10 obscenely racist things Trump has said or done during the past 9 years off the top of my dome - no research and no googling. Here it goes:

Trump refused to condemn white supremacy at the 2020 Presidential debate and instead told the Proud Boys to “Stand back, and stand by!” (They did when they were involved in the failed Jan 6 violent insurrection.)

Trump praised the white supremacists in Charlottesville who chanted Nazi slogans as “very fine people,” to the point where they saw him as an ally.

Trump lamented that Black and brown people came to America from “shithole countries” instead of from Norway, which is a great country that has so many white people that it made my teeth whiter during my visit.

Trump promoted the racist and Islamophobic “Birther conspiracy” against Barack Obama that forced him to show his birth certificate

Trump continues to refer to undocumented immigrants as “invaders,” the same language used by domestic terrorists who have attacked Jews, Black people and Latinos.

Trump referred to COVID as the “China Virus” and “Kung Flu,” which coincided with the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans

Trump told The Squad to go back to their country, even though all those Congresswomen of color are American citizens.

Trump refers to Kamala Harris as a “DEI hire” even though she is infinitely more qualified than him, and furthermore he alleges she “turned Black” for sake of political opportunity. (Well, he turned Republican, but I digress.)

Trump uses “Palestinian” as a pejorative to mock Senator Schumer and President Biden. (He did it again last night at his rally.)

Trump quotes Hitler! He uses his language of “vermin” and “poisoning the blood” to attack immigrants, and he praised him according to his former DHS Secretary General Kelly.

***Bonus*** Trump took out ads asking for the death penalty for the Central Park Five, who have since been exonerated. He has refused to acknowledge their innocence.

Trust me, there’s more! I passed my own challenge of listing the first ten examples off the top of my head, which is in itself quite disturbing.

[...] He does not have “flare ups” or “trip ups” or “racially charged moments.” No. Trump is a racist. He has always been a racist. He acts and behaves like a racist. He can’t help but be a racist. He has not changed or evolved or mellowed or moderated or become more serene after his assassination attempt. If you doubt me, just look at his 35 minute interview with Black journalists at the annual NABJ conference. He is supported by racists who love him for his racism. He will triple-down on racism because he’s a 1 trick pony and because he is melting down at the thought of a Black Indian woman defeating him in 2024.

THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali is right on: It’s time for the mainstream media to consistently and explicitly use the word “racist” to describe Donald Trump’s racist behavior. “Racially charged” does NOT cut it.

[closingremarks]

this shit genuinely just saddens me

In an appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists, Donald Trump said Kamala only ‘became a black person’ recently, whereas he has always been a fascist autocrat with failing cognitive abilities.

Click on the image for larger picture. Look close at his ear. Does that look like an ear that was hit by a bullet? He doesn't even cover it up anymore.

CLEAR PROOF he never took a bullet.

[azeutreciathewicked]

This was an excellent, active, and engaging conversation about policy and positions between Kamala Harris and the National Association of Black Journalists. If this conversation seems "boring" or difficult to keep attention on, it's a good sign that we need some detoxing from outrage soundbytes. This is what a candidate interview should look like, what a conversation about politics and policy should look like. It's okay for journalists to push back, and it's also okay for a candidate to push back to finish their point or to give context to answer a question well. There can be some jostling and pressure without it devolving into screaming, insults, and garbage. VP Harris was classy, clear, and demonstrated how much she has worked on and thought about these important issues, and her sincerity shines through. There is no contest.

Watch the NABJ The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) in-person conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris held on September 17, 2029 at WHYY in Philadelphia.

[tomorrowusa]

« He did crap the bed today. The only question is whether he’s gonna roll around in it or get up and change the sheets. »

— Republican commentator Scott Jennings, former assistant to President G.W. Bush, on Donald Trump's disastrous appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) on Wednesday. At CNN.

Trump will likely keep pooping in his rhetorical bed. Some of his lickspittles are already pooping in their own beds by repeating variations of what he said at the NABJ.

The MAGA crowd has apparently never heard this great American proverb...

When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.

[dicapiito]

I’m really over things that are obvious rage baiting for Black People. I just can’t see anything beyond that NABJ interview with Trump but to make Black People angry about Kamala Harris and her identity. It’s going to also inspire people to play stupid about Kamala Harris being a Black South Asian Woman and be annoying everywhere.

There’s going to be so much media trying to rage bait Black People throughout the election and when Harris wins the Presidential election that it’s definitely time to make sure to take a break if you need to because the media is going to remain stuck on stupid and want Black People to engage in their obvious racist news reports about Vice President Harris.

It’s going to be annoying so definitely make sure to balance this with some cool and mindless fun and self care 💜🫶🏾
