During a Friday campaign rally in Redding, California, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump illustrated his “tremendous” support from black voters by pointing to a black man in the crowd, exclaiming, “Look at my African-American over here!”
The real-estate mogul used the unnamed black male to relay a story about how the media allegedly mistook his black supporter “cold-clocking” a protester in a Ku Klux Klan-like hood to be a Trump anti-protester. “We had a case where we had an African-American guy who is a fan of mine, great fan, great guy,” he said before pointing. “Look at my African-American over here. Look at him! Are you the greatest? Do you know what I’m talking about?”
Nah, Muhammad Ali was the Greatest (you know…a Muslim-American? Or more accurately, a convert to Sufi Islam in his later years). And what are you talking about?!
Next he will be trouting out his Mexican-American friend.
Sorry, FA. I’m still not there yet.
The only thing Trump really has going for him is the terrible two candidates on the opposite side of the muck pond; and the anti-Trump idiots protesting his rallies, which helps him rather than harms him.
