Mary Trump On Donald Trump’s Racist Rhetoric: ‘Not Just Ridiculous, It’s Dangerous’ | The Last Word

80 comments

  1. I can’t wait for the 4th debate next Tuesday when Mary Trump is the moderator. Donald gonna have a lot of homeworks to do this weekend.

    1. @Tim Smith Just like Trump not recognizing Biden’s sarcastically calling him “Abraham Lincoln”. I only learned AFTER once Trump had become president that there are people who are abjectly incapable of registering sarcasm, satire, or subtext. They lack a capacity for ‘abstract thought’ which is why, I guess. Abstract thought being the ability to consider/imagine the “why nots, what ifs, and suppositions” of any given thing; the gray area between B&W.

  2. To give the audience credit in 2016 when he said he got along beautifully with women he got along better with them than anyone no one had done more for women than him everyone laughed. You could hear it.

  3. If you’re not a racist, then you do not have to proclaim that you’re not a racist. It would be very easy to tell racist groups you don’t support them. Vote ByeDon/Harris

    1. @Liz Chelle I’m aware of Biden’s comments and don’t support them. What about you? Do support all of Trump’s comments?

    2. ​@Starshine ‘If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black’. This is a statement from Joe Biden that is solely race based. Now can you give one thing that Trump said that is race based?

    3. @David Dorn’s life matters I don’t play fetch; especially with people who lack any objectivity when it comes to Trump and race. If you’re a Trump supporter, you know his track record on race and either you share it or it’s not a deal breaker. Enough said. Now read my post to Liz Chelle again and found someone else to entertain you.

    4. @Starshine My objectivity is that you can’t accuse someone of racism without proof that the person’s action or attitude is SOLELY race based. Just because a person’s action doesn’t benefit certain group or certain criticism doesn’t play into the rhetorics of identity politics, it doesn’t mean racism.

    1. @Patrick Tolman thanks but pretty sure I’m not. I have been working alongside President Trump’s followers and I know exactly what kind of group of people they are, their views, their backgrounds. I completely understand. 💙🌀💙🌀🦋💙🌀💙🌀🦋💙🌀💙🌀🦋

    2. @Books Bags Blooms It’s frustrating how Trump supporters “know” we’re being brainwashed, just like we “know” they’re being brainwashed.😉 Nothing they say will change our votes, just like nothing we say will change their votes… 🤷🏼‍♀️It is what it is.
      That being said…🗳️ Vote BIDEN-HARRIS! 👍

    3. @Suzy Q exactly, I’m kind of sad though , but like I said, I do completely understand why they do what they do. Stay safe 💙💙💙💎💎💎

    1. He “are”. Trump is obviously either not putting enough tax into schooling or is funding too many bad ones.

    2. @H C My list is extensive but I’m too sleepy, but just look up all the KKK related stuff to me campaigning for racial segregation in the 1970s and 1980s.

    1. @Scott Swinehart How about normal Americans build a wall around backward backwood inbred states in the South you people are repulsive

    1. @3 stages of meditation America is dying because of the media. It’s absolutely terrifying and beautiful at the same time.

    2. They caught BurismaHunter, ChinaBiden and Obummer selling out America to China! Rotten flag burning cop killing rioting dumbocrats!💩💩💩🇨🇳🇨🇳👎

    3. @Patrick Tolman If in the future you will meet the orange monkey make sure that none of your family will be with you! I’m only reminding you that he is a p++++ grabber 😂😂😂 Such a 💩 you are

    4. I did say how shameful republicans can be to support someone that ripped 545 children out of the arms of their parents and for the last three years they have sat on a cement floor with blankets supervised by security.
      We don’t allow that kind of abuse here in America. But they also thought sexually assaulting 26 women and rapping a thirteen year old was ok. And I suppose if you see a woman you like…just grab her by the p*ssy.

    1. @gregory garner White people “hating” other White people isn’t racism. That just people of the same race having different views on a number of different subjects.

    2. @gregory garner If more than one person calls you racist maybe you should take a look at yourself and your behavior. Maybe they see something in you that you can’t or won’t see in yourself. Just sayin.

    3. @Starshine That’s just the point…there’s NOTHING to the word…you guys have cheapened it to the point where it’s white noise…Once EVERYTHING is racist, NOTHING is…Adults understand this…time for liberals to do so, as well….but that won’t happen, because you people have profited so heavily through tossing the accusation around…You know that many white people will go down on their knees at the mere HINT of being called a bigot…so long as it’s working, you won’t change…

    4. @StarshineThat’s not what I said, of course…what I meant was that white liberals use race as a means of having leverage on other whites…This is their way of looking down on other white people…anyone who doesn’t grovel to minorities is immediately labelled a bigot…As I said, it has much more to do with whites despising other whites than the minorities, themselves…Liberals are the most vile, toxic of people….they are the enemy of all things decent. And race is one element of their strategy that they have worn out, and will CONTINUE to wear out, til it stops working…

  4. I never had to tell somebody I am not a racist, because they know I am not, and I am politically active in that. But everyone who told me they aren’t racists, in my view, happen to be obvious racists. Quite franky

    1. Yep. It’s the usual ‘compensating for deficiencies’. Anyone good or bad at something doesn’t need to say it, their skills, talent, intelligence, athleticism, experience, actions will speak for them. Same with attributes: a girl who constantly tells everyone how “hot” she is; a guy bragging about how much “tail” he gets; a country-folk politician from a small town in Alabama who vehemently fights against LBGTQ rights despite having _”never met”_ one in his life — all compensating.

  5. Each individual vote is precious now. Vote safely but VOTE VOTE VOTE!!! Let’s get this troll out of the White House.

  6. Here’s a question: why say you’re the least racist person in the room when you literally said “Good” to the fact that you deliberately destroyed families at the border forever?

    1. I agree! Why did no one pick up on that? I had to rewind to make sure i heard him right. What a despicable human being.

    2. @President Biden First, I just voted for you.. I will say during the debate you had a chance to refute that and said…. “Go On” to the moderator.. You should have made that clear during the election. Trump asked you over and over… WHO built the cages.. We did not build the cages. You response made me believe you built them but it was for the families.. NOT the children

  7. One more week to go!! Mary is the only glimmer of hope to come from the horrific Dump dynasty. I pray good prevails over evil, truth over lie, fact over fiction, and science over opinion. Please let us restore our democracy and reclaim it from this con artist and imposter POTUS.

    1. @Richard Barry Richard, learn some damned history. One of Hitler’s main goals was to destroy to Bolshevism…..you know….blipping communism and to a lesser degree socialism. Other than increasing living space for Germans, wanting to destroy communists was why Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941.

      Too often people confuse the “socialism” the Nazis used with actual socialism. Nazis were fascists.

      Ironically after WWII East Gernany was a communist country.

      Do you want to know why so many capitalist companies incorporate in Delaware? Joe Biden.

    2. No one believes the lies about Hitler and the “nazis” anymore.
      You people sound as nutty as flat earth people! 😂😂😂

  8. Dear people it’s instructive to note that Trump the pathological liar, speaks in opposites. When he said at the final debate that he was the least racist person in the room – what that translates to is that Trump was the most racist person in the room

    1. Indeed … it is an admission that he is indeed racist and that he believes others are racist as well … and more racist than he is.
