Donald Trump on Friday celebrated that he's potentially being seen as a victim by some within the Black community, saying it's been "pretty amazing" that "Black people like" him because he's being prosecuted in several criminal cases.The former president was the keynote speaker of the Black Conserva...
That’s pretty racist
ColinDonald.Idk, it’s kinda dumb for him to say it, but it isnt racist to acknowledge the facts about the private prison complex. It’s dumb because he is trying to connect with them on an uncomfortable truth, but at least as far as he claims, trump believes he was the victim of a justice system out to get him, which, if it were true, would actually give him something in common with an average black person.
The justice system has been working in trumps favor for his entire 70+ years of life. Even in his wildest dreams trump has has nothing in common with those targeted by our racist system. Trump has always been given the benefit of the doubt and has suffered zero tangible consequences.
Im not saying he’s right, just that, according to his public persona’s claims, he has something in common with them. If we take it at face value that he actually believes what he says, then he would also believe they have this in common
I’m just saying even that amount of abstraction does not line up because trump is repeatedly treated with kid gloves when he walks into the court.
Not according to him. According to him, every judge he’s ever met has “trump derangement syndrome”.
If that’s the game you’re playing then Trump knows that’s untrue, in fact he counts on it. So it’s just a flat out lie and strait up racist.
I’m sure he doesn’t believe it, but he has to act as if he believes it. This is part of that act.
Yup exactly. Nothing to do with if what he believes is true or not. But that’s what he believes. He has done numerous things that deserve jail for the rest of his life and all his assets seized.
Unfortunately the things that have currently “gottim” aren’t those things. Those cases are still working through the courts slowly or not at all. Property valuation fraud is the name of the game in the US for a developer. Insulting someone is the American way.
The reason they got Al Capone was taxes. The government looked at him, said he was guilty but couldn’t prove it. So then found other charges just to get him in jail and threw the book at him. This happens to brown and black people all the time. Looking suspicious is enough to find crimes you’re guilty of. What is happening to Trump right now is similar. He’s being punished for things that no normal person would be punished for. It’s only because they want to get him. He has a point that he is being victimized and anyone who has been victimized by the injustices of the US system recognizes it.
Hopefully the cases with actual merit, that do exist and he’s overwhelming guilty by admission, resolve soon so he can’t play this card anymore.
