Donald Trump suggests Kamala Harris 'happened to turn Black'
www.abc.net.au
Donald Trump uses an appearance at a gathering of Black journalists to suggest his election opponent, Kamala Harris, has switched racial identities from Indian to Black.

(the detail is that he’s talking about how she self-identifies rather than her appearance itself, but that would ruin a perfectly good nottheonion moment)

    I remember when Donald Trump suddenly became a “Republican” when he was a registered Democrat.

    He flipped because he knew the Republican base is easily duped/conned.

    In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat”, explaining: “It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats…But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we’ve had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans.”[5]

        If you watch interviews with him when he was younger, his cognitive decline is shocking. He still comes across as sleazy asshole though.

          Even as late as the 2016 RNC debate. He was speaking coherently, responding to opponents, making logical points. He was still lying and promising to do terrible things, but he seemed in control of himself and I could see how some conservatives might call him charismatic even.

          Nowadays he just kind of picks a vibe and spews out words vaguely related, and the audience projects what they want him to mean onto it.

          The habitual drug abuse, no sport except for golf (because the body is a battery and you die earlier from sport according to him) and an exklusive diet of coke and hamberders probably didn’t help either.
