“Look at my African-American over here,” Trump said, pointing to a fan out of view of cameras. “Are you the greatest? You know what I’m talking about? Okay.”

Then he proceeded to tell a story about a Black American, but kept referring to the man as “the African-American,” “the African-American.” Never once saying, “this man,” “this African-American man,” etc.

So, are we back to rich people–like you, Donald–possessing other human beings? “…my African-American …” Yeah, Donald, we get it. Question is: Did your African-American?

It’s the Palin Rules - you just copy down what he says and put it in the teleprompter. How could you improve on it?

Racism has come knocking at our door. We can open the door and let it in, which is what the republican party has decided to do, or we can slam the door in its face. I believe God will hold us accountable for what we do in this moment.

Trump:

He slugged this guy wearing the Ku Klux Klan outfit, but by the time he
got up to the top, you couldn’t see it was a Ku Klux Klan outfit.

Um, no. The guy who Pettway punched was wearing an American flag shirt:

There was a protester wearing a hood, but clearly not the same person.

I know the answer to this, but how the hell did this guy end up as the Republican nominee? I keep muttering that to myself on each new day Trump spews the most unbelievable shit.

So basically, I’m muttering it all the time now.

Is this a dream? Have I crossed over and this is the fifth level of Purgatory? Certainly this can’t be the real world. Can it?

Been saying it for months. He has simply been unable to out-crazy the Repug base.

OK. That’s one.
This is the rhetorical equivalent of: “Some of my best friends are Negroes”
