Trump replies ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’ to tweet about his attacks on African Americans

[Flicky]

[quote]President Trump kicked off Thanksgiving Day by replying to a tweet that said his latest Twitter rage is part of a racist pattern of attacking prominent African Americans.

Trump’s response, tweeted at about 6:30 a.m.: “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

[media]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/933659179348299776[/media]

The tweet that prompted the response from the president came from Greg Sargent, who writes about politics for The Washington Post. Sargent had shared his opinion article about Trump’s latest tweetstorm related to LaVar Ball, whom the president has repeatedly called out for not thanking him properly for his role in resolving a shoplifting charge in China against Ball’s son.

In his piece published Wednesday, Sargent argued that Trump “goes out of his way to attack prominent African Americans,” including Ball and professional football athletes.

“Trump’s rage-tweets about LaVar Ball are part of a pattern. Trump regularly attacks high-profile African Americans to feed his supporters’ belief that the system is rigged for minorities,” Sargent wrote on Twitter Wednesday.

To which the president replied the following day with his campaign slogan. In response, Sargent retweeted Trump’s tweet with a comment: “Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. President.”

It’s unclear if Trump’s tweet was meant to agree with or acknowledge Sargent’s points that his behavior on social media fits a racist pattern against African Americans, or if it may have been sent by mistake. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.[/quote]

This plugin is just too accurate man

[Destroyox]

Hahaha holy shit, he's not even trying to hide it anymore.

[BlackMageMari]

Either:

a) he thinks being racist and attacking black Americans makes American ""great"" again (which just further shows his racism)

or

b) his only reply to any criticism is "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN", which is just. yeah.

[TurtleeyFP]

It's been 12 hours and it's still not removed... jesus christ, it wasn't a mistake. I admire his ability to, somehow, lower the bar even further.

[Xion21]

Yeah, there's no "but what he really meant was x" about this. It's simply "Yes I do constantly attack and disrespect black people, you are correct! MAGA." and there's no way around it. This is the first time I would actually agree with someone that told me he tells it like it is rather than how he wishes it was.

[ThatOldAgeDud]

I think when Donald says "Make America great again", he means "Make America white again". His idea of "great" is how things were in the 1950's, when there was segregation and police sprayed black people with hoses and sic'd dogs on them, townspeople lynched them and used racial slurs freely. That, but with the addition of "the rich get richer and fuck the poor/middle class and especially fuck the environment".

I'll say it again, I'd take George W. Bush back as President if it meant no more Trump.

His comment of "the war on coal is over" and then his talks of "clean coal" are what lead me to believe the man is clinically insane.

i think trump is actually suffering from dementia or something of that sort

It'd be 10x better (and I'd even start using it) if it used a font that resembled a child's handwriting with a crayon with certain letters flipped horizontally, but only for Trump's Twitter.

[Raidyr]

I've never been one to call Trump an outright racist (despite some questionable comments and actions on his part) but I'm really struggling to find a way to explain this that doesn't make him look bad. The best I can come up with is that it's just a random retweet of his slogan and not really meant to mean anything in particular but I feel like that's stretching the benefit of the doubt to the breaking point.

[Smug Bastard]

Four legs good, two legs better.

This is the new normal.

i think that trump is essentially the racist old uncle who is losing the plot that we all seem to know

the whole twitter feud has been an embarrassing shitshow. even if we assume this one to be a blunder, the rest is still not something that should be coming from an US president

The President of the United States and leader of the free world everyone

Look at him and laugh

My god, every day that passes is another day that the integrity of the POTUS position is degraded further and further. Soon there will be nothing left.

[CyclonatorZ]

I'm hoping at this point that when we finally get the pee tape and everything else they're hiding, the package comes bundled with the tape Tom Arnold promised a while back - the one where Donald Trump uses the n-word behind the scenes of The Apprentice.

Well it IS a bit hard to remove a president from office, no matter how bad he is, you know...

[Froztshock]

It's kinda' hilarious that the republicans have degraded to such a degree that they've been completely unable to elect someone who's not at least borderline retarded to office over the course of the last sixteen years.

Even more hilarious, they keep voting for borderline retards!

[QUOTE=Xubs;52918164]you have to be extremely bad at judging moral character to not see that donald trump is at best a black-fearing racist motherfucker morally on par with "the good" racist white southerners from the 1950s. The ones who merely saw black people as subhuman animals but didn't want to, yknow, kill them

if he had any more drive in him than his fucking lazy ass could muster he'd probably be a white ethno-nationalist calling for ethnic cleansing, but he's [i]so fucking lazy[/I] at everything he has ever done that he cant commit to his own blindingly obvious, universally telegraphed hatreds[/QUOTE]

He practically already is lmao. He's been quiet on the Muslim and Mexican racism for a little while, but who can forget about the [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/10/26/donald-trumps-conspiracy-theories-sound-anti-semitic-does-he-even-realize-it/]anti-semitic conspiracy theories?[/url] Or like that time he defended a picture of Hillary Clinton on a pile of cash with the Star of David with this:

Or, of course, when he defended white nationalists outright. The only thing standing between him and ethno-nationalism is him admitting it.

Well, how much worser can things get?
We are almost at the point where Trump comes out with something not even his voters would like, and just outright answers something like "Look, we are evil, we want money, and we don't give a fuck about any of you, so fuck off lol"

Sadly, it's likely his true supporters would still support him, even if he outright said that.

Have a feeling it would go this way :s:

He tweeted the same exact thing 10 minutes later as it's own tweet instead of as a reply.

I know Trump sucks 'n all, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here - even if it hasn't been removed yet [I]somehow.[/I]

I can't help but imagine him sitting at a desk with two big buttons, one that says MAGA and the other says POST and he's slamming his fists on them in alternating timing.

[BuffaloHops]

For what it's worth, this might be Trump misunderstanding a new Twitter UI change, but it still means he was viewing that Tweet though:
