23. That's why any effort to reach out to people of color is a very bad, and sad, joke.

They're never gonna forget how Trump led the birther movement against President Obama, and not casually, either. He jumped right in with both feet and his mouth wide open and flapping a mile a minute, and elbowed everybody else out of the way. Wore it around like one of those sequined satin Miss USA cordons that slides over one shoulder and down across the chest to the opposite hip.

I won't, either. I won't EVER forget the hatchet-man job Trump tried to do on President Obama. I'll never forget the fast-talking diarrhea of the mouth he spewed about all the investigators HE personally had sent to crawl all over Hawaii to "find out what is going on", that phrase he just LOVES to say, and how "they can't believe what they're finding." Or more like "theycan'tbelievewhatthey'refinding." Which, as we all know was just another filthy lie. Which, as we all know now, was completely not true - he never sent ANYBODY over to investigate ANY of this.

That fast spew of strung-together words was the same kind of shit that he rapid-fired out of his lying mouth about Mrs. Khan and why her religion somehow kept her from speaking out in public and insinuating sinister reasons why she didn't say anything onstage with her husband at the convention. He seems to specialize in those fast diarrhea-squirts of words and phrases that he spews, that ALL run together, in a barrage of three or four or five sentences in one.

He's a liar. HE. IS. A. LIAR. Sorry, William Safire, TRUMP is the one who's the "congenital liar" (NOT Hillary as the late NYTimes shit-stirrer tried to slander her -- https://www.yahoo.com/news/hillary-clinton-congenital-liar-other-003100002.html?ref=gs ).

I'm thoroughly convinced by now that Trump is also a racist. We've all known he's quite the sexist. He's a shyster and a cheat. AND a very BAD businessman whose most steady silent partner was usually a sneaky-ass bankruptcy "out" or running to his rich daddy to pump another infusion of a few million dollars into his IV drip when his shifty business "accidents" landed him in a proverbial emergency room.

I remembered that just days ago while watching him deliver a speech in that all-white community in Wisconsin - and inexplicably chose THAT lily white suburb in which to issue a verbal reach-out to African Americans. For Pete's sake, Donald, do you REALLY think you're gonna make inroads with Black voters? After everything you did to try to negate and delegitimize the Presidency of our first Black President? Do you SERIOUSLY think that block of voters is going to forget that? Dayum, Donald, you're not just a liar, you're an idiot, too.
