Is he orange or is he white? Because up until a few years ago he was white, then went orange.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

His race is "asshole"
Please, do not disparage assholes.
Perhaps he's bi-asshole.
Now you are just disparaging two groups
Thankfully I'm non-bi when it comes to disparagement!

It's a shade of weird
Someone should look into that

Crab people, crab people, taste like crab, walk like people
Trump meltdown again reveals his named bigotry.
Yeah that’s like saying “Apple reveals Apple’s existence as a corporate entity alongside new iPhones for 2024.”
Memo to headline writers: please never put the words "Trump" and "naked" near each other again.
So, back in the Runup for 2020, and when I still hoped a certain uncle wasn’t a full on cultist, I was trying to explain just how “unpresidential” and how scandalous he was as a president.
During the conversation, I pulled a picture of Trump in tan suit pants from somewhere, and threw some pixelation like they do on cops, and stuff.
That was all I did to, just pixelated his pants.
Then I showed them, saying “he’s so bad you don’t even question if this is real.”
The stared at the picture then totally thought he was just having some kind of wardrobe malfunction and that people totally lose their pants on stage… all the time
IMO, the real scandal was Trump wearing tan suit pants. How unpresidential can you be???
Tan suit pants? Like some sort of foreigner terrorist?
Did he do a fist bump??
You mean a terrorist fist jab?
Where are my pearls? I need something to clutch! I’m getting the vapors!

May have been an ad for Bigly Bleach (for eyes, and safe to inject!).
Do you think Melania massages his taint?
she probably oranges his asshole
Who was holding their breath? Do we have to wait until after the Doom Slayer comes for him until we're sure he's also a fucking demon?
I think she's American.
The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth. A leader who doesn’t respond with hostility and anger when presented with the facts. We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us. They are an essential source of our strength.
Damn right
Looking at the Obama/Romney debates just makes me sad. Things used to be so civil.
That's a great way Harris could respond to this: "Yes, Donald, I am Indian. I am also black. Most importantly, I am an American.
An American who loves our country and the strength our melting-pot of diversity brings. "
The "undecideds" are not looking for measured, reasonable "we go high when they go low" type responses - that's not the mindset for this moment, unfortunately (even if it's the decent thing). They are looking for her to dismissive tell him he's weird and move on. Because he is and she should.
Realize the weight of this moment, we can stand on principle as the ship sinks, or we can save the boat from sinking and then hopefully work back to civility from there.
These aren't mutually exclusive. I'm entirely onboard with kneeing them when they go low. But you can do a one-two punch with mockery and dismissal while injecting some truth in a bite-sized form. That's literally what satirists do.

American, black, and Indian? How?!! We already have the mystery of the trinity. This is too much!!!
Wrong picture. I think this is Trump at his MAGAGA event. They sure did make those Gloryholes great again.
Trump is going to dropping N-bombs by September.
I'm sure he never stopped. He may just get publicly saying it.
Betting that when he drops it, Fox News will cover it up like, "Ah it was just locker room talk!" Or "How come you can say Cracker but you can't say N word what's the problem?"

It is a tactic that has long been part of the underside of American politics: presenting an opponent as somehow ‘other’ or ‘not one of us’ — someone who cannot be trusted or truly known. But, it is a different time.
It didn't take this meltdown to see his naked bigotry, it's been on full display for decades.

I thought it was great seeing US journalists acting like journalists again, and asking actual real questions. They should have pushed even more so for him to actually answer the question. Don't go to the next question until the current question has been answered, even if it takes the entire night
It wasn't exactly hidden before
