Trump asked why pretty Korean lady isn't negotiating with NKorea, surprised whites are on welfare

Popular vote, Russians, disease, mental health. etc
Anything except face up to the fact that half of your country is virulently racist and knowingly voted for one.
I'm not American, so you're barking up the wrong tree there
don't get it twisted what hes been doing for the majority of his life has been riding off of his fathers money, hiring people to do his dirty work/ run his business, and being a celebrity-sort of. That's what he's been up to. Does anyone really still believe this is a brilliant businessman who will figure out anything?
my question is will he still hit the speech circuit and charge out 100k per appearance like all the other presidents after hes gone? I am assuming yes because there's never enough NRA rallies or pharmaceutical company retreats you can speak at about the woes of being a 1% in America.
I've been seriously thinking about doing something that doesn't involve a computer or a phone. I am busy with my life but I could be busy with this which would honestly be more important that whatever I have going on.
Yo relax big guy. Pointing out that more people voted for someone else is has nothing to do with not facing that fact. We've been acquainted with it for a long time now.
It is an important point though, especially for people outside the U.S. Do a poll right now and I bet most people abroad will say Trump won because he got the most number of votes and I'd think their perspective about the whole thing would be slightly different knowing that's not the case.
I think a lot of us would drop what we're doing to ensure he gets thrown out of office. Without a guarantee, it feels like a fruitless endeavor.
Every time I read a quote like this I'm like: "Yup that's Donald Trump"
I'm not even sure if the comment is racist, insensitive maybe. The girl looked Asian and he wondered where she was from.
Because she is of Korean descent she can negotiate with North Korea and he always boasts about good looking people working for him.
Remember he decided on cabinet posts purely on looks. John Bolton didn't get a job because Trump doesn't like a mustache.
Did anyone 'really' expect Trump to be different as President as he was during his civilian life?

The racism part comes from the fact that he kept asking her "Where are you from really?" Even though she said New York. When a white person says "I'm from New York," we don't immediately say, "No, where are you really from? Germany? England?"
It feeds into the idea that somehow white people are native to America, even though they came from somewhere else too, and anyone that's born in America is not really "from" America unless they're white too.
Like, it's the height of "racial ignorance," if a Native American were to go to a white person and ask him "Where you from?" and the white person says, "America, of course," and the Native American asks "No, where are you from REALLY?" and the white person gets mad and keeps insisting, "America, you idiot, I was born here!"
"America" and then look at you like you're silly for even asking.
I'm not sure if this is true in Trump's case.
After all he was obsessed with his own Scottish heritage and even stole someones family shield to use as his own.
He's Scottish?
For some reason, I thought the dude was Bavarian. Or at least his great grandfather was, before hopping over to America to dodge the draft.
No it's racist.
I read your other post.
No, it's still racist.
Also, it's really fucking stupid to say someone "looked Asian" and that's it's fine to "wonder where she was from."
First of all, she doesn't "look" Asian, she is clearly an American of Asian descent.
Second of all, the very fact that so many people in the US think of Asians are "really" being from "somewhere that is not the US" falls into the perpetual foreigner syndrome. (Which, btw, is a fucked up way to treat and view people.)
Third, I hope you're only pretending like his logic is sound for the sake of the argument, and you don't actually believe someone of Korean descent can negotiate with Korea just because they're Korean.
So you can think whatever you want, and maybe some people will agree that it's not racist, but it's still a racist question.
I really all you have to do is talk to some Asian people and ask what it's like to grow up in the US always being told that we aren't "really" American and that we *must* be from "somewhere else."
Nothing is a guarentee. What matters is what's worth fighting for. The one guarentee for me is if Mueller gets fired in making a trip to dc.
I know we all take a small comfort from this lie, but let me tell you, I know plenty of well educated whites that voted for him.
Obviously I didn't mean they were the only ones to vote for him but as a group they were a relatively large block of his voters.
This is the guy who said about china at one of his rallies: "They will come to me and say "we want deal!" In some racist broken english bs.
So this should not be surprising.

People in this day and age are more concerned about YouTube stars than political figures.
There is always a long thread about offensive YouTubers.
It's like people hold YouTube stars to a higher standard.
Archie bunker had the capacity to learn, grow as a person, and care about people. Trump doesn't
because I only go to jail for good reasons, mostly. and they would definitely put me in.
Also, Archie Bunker hated Nazis, the Klan, and other white supremacist organizations
I've gotten that shit from cops a lot, most recently at the airport when I came back from visiting family a few months ago.
"Where are you from?"
"Here, Atlanta."
"No, where did you come from?"
"Canada."
"No, where did you really come from?"
"I was born in Canada." When I really wanna say "fuck off." The look on the dude's face...lol

Hehehe the first part of this is sooooooo familiar and she does such a good job of the cringe you feel when someone asks you where you're from and make helpful statements about your ethnicity.
Also yeah the implication lol. "Where are you from?" "Oh I'm American." Yes all the obliviousness of the offensiveness of the statement right there.
I asked this to someone at work a couple of months ago. They were a new transfer in, and I meant what department, but i sure looked like a shit to the other americans. She just laughed and said she was Nigerian. I still feel mortified.
I already know how we lost to his ilk but it's still worth asking in exasperation.
TBH if you were embarrassed and then followed it up with, "no I meant what department," no one is going to think it's because you were being insensitive and everyone is going to understand it was a misunderstanding where no one was at fault.
I fucking hate getting "where are you really from"ed. Teasing her after she refered to herself as from America twice.
Half the country thinks this way.
Get it out of your head that Trump is an outlier. He is the average Republican voter is every single way. Getting him out of office will not fix this.
I hope you mean about damn time the media reported on it. Americans of Asian ancestry have been speaking up about racial injustice for a long, long time.
