DONALD TRUMP IS RACIST
Internet Mocks Trump as White House Mulls Presidential Address on Race: Whats Next, a Speech on Sexual Consent?
Published on June 8, 2020 at 09:25 AM ET

As the nationwide protests over the police killing of George Floyd enter their third week the White House is engaged in an internal debate over whether or not President Donald Trump should deliver an address to the nation on race and national unity. Americans on social media are having a blast mocking the idea. Many believe there is not a president less qualified to lecture the nation on race, given that many also believe this president is a white nationalist or white supremacist.
Given Trumps bad behavior on a wide variety of topics, there are a wide variety of other equally bad opportunities, which many were only too pleased to point out.

This is like Harvey Weinstein giving a speech on how to behave in the workplace.

(16,616 posts)How many statements/speeches did Trump give on Charlottesville? We know the drill: even if he can fake empathy for fifteen minutes, the very next day he'll tweet or talk to Fox and Friends and blurt out something that undoes it all.
Bottom line: Trump's sincerity is shot.

I worry that he will cause further pain to minorities, but if it helps get him out of the WH in November, a little pain more might be worth it in the long run.

(7,324 posts)It'll either be the "totally drugged, eyes-dilated, slurring through his teleprompter" Trump, or it'll be the unhinged "George Floyd was no angel believe me, there are very good cops that are treated unfairly" Trump. Both are wins for us.

(101,322 posts)his speeches? That would be as big a car-crash as if Trump tried to make it up himself. I suppose he might consent to reading out something concocted by Javanka, but do they write speeches? I reckon that would turn out to be another MBA buzzword salad, that Trump would have difficulty in reading out.

He is almost as tone deaf as the Cheeto in the White House.
