Where does the “thief” charge come from?

I’m not saying that Florida’s GOP voters are racist. I’m saying that our racist President thinks Florida’s GOP voters are racist.

The only thing more vile than Donald Trump is his supporters.

He can’t produce the receipt for those Swisher Sweets he’s toking on.

Does the whole “public figure” thing get in the way here?

He’s just displaying his abundant racism. Again.

Wait wait wait. Trump is maligning someone who he supposes is “poorly educated”, and actually prefers someone who is a Harvard/Yale grad? What f-ing bizzarro world is he now inhabiting?

The only thing that makes sense about this tweet is that Trump is lying about Gillum’s education.

Donald Trump calling Andrew Gillum a thief is like Kim Kardashian calling Meryl Streep untalented.

How does this anti-elitist, anti-establishment thing work again?

It’s ‘nice’ to know that a lot of ‘good’ came from that HBCU meeting with Trump.

Like others here, I don’t get the “thief” thing either. Maybe Donald was saving it for one of his anti-Semitic Tweets but accidentally used it against Gillum.

Ivy League degrees are good when you’re a Republican, but mark you as an “elitist” when you’re a Dem. And if Gillum has gone to an Ivy, no doubt Trump would have claimed it was affirmative action in action, as he did with Obama.

This is certainly not subtle. I hope Gillum has good security.

It certainly sets the bar higher, but a blatant disregard for the truth and a premeditated desire to cause harm can help a plaintiff surmount even that high standard (if I remember my Mass Communications Law class from years ago).

Not even a hint of subtlety -straight up racism.

‘45’ knew what he was saying and should Gillum get over next week, he (or Conway) will tell Gilllum that it was just politics.

Must think of current Gov. Rick Scott and his Medicare ‘heist’…
