Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Jan. 6 Capitol riots. Whereas other politicians keep their masks on and use dog whistles, Trump just says what he’s thinking. And what he’s thinking is not okay.
Trump has recently come under fire for the racist comments made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” during the president’s New York rally at Madison Square Garden over the weekend. Not that Trump cares, as he’s personally made similar comments aimed at a staggeringly vast array of different people and ethnic groups.
As the 2024 presidential campaign draws to a close, Trump and his ers have been courting the news for all the wrong reasons. The official rapid-response from Vice President Kamala Harris, Kamalahq, posted a TikTok clip of Trump at a previous event. In it, the former president brazzingly, and totally predictably, makes a racist comment. Check out the video to see for yourself:
Trump has made many bogus, sexist, and racist claims over the course of his career, politically and otherwise. He has accused Haitian migrants of immigrants as animals, and called white supremacists “very fine people.” This is not a man who’s shy about his personal views, that’s for sure.
But Trump has held onto the claim that he’s popular with certain demographics, such as Black and Latin voters. Even though he’s claimed Harris is the one losing. And it’s easy to see why, given the torrent of racist comments coming from the president and his campaign.
The mask — if there ever was one — is now well and truly off.
While the Trump campaign comes under fire for racism, Harris and her team have been visiting Black and Latin communities to talk about her plans for a better future.
The Donald Trump campaign continues to amass high-profile detractors such as Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Eminem, to major movie stars like Leonardo DiCaprio.
Trump’s real face — the one behind the makeup — is now fully on display. From his flirtations with fascism and iration for Hitler and his generals, Trump has quite the back catalog of frightening comments. The racism, sexism, and blatant disregard for societal norms and freedoms are striking and free for all to see. He’s even making jokes about it. We should all believe Trump when he shows us who he is, because who he is is terrifying.
