It's how he keeps his base engaged.

Black men are to be reviled and diminished at every turn and at all costs, particularly those uppity black men who have the nerve to bring attention to groups like the KKK.

This weekend saw more activity from that particular group than has been seen in a long time.
Of course that's no coincidence.

Trump may not know much, but he knows, or is being told by Stephen Miller, that that's the side that his bread is buttered on.

So, here we are.

I have seen many claims that Spike Lee is a racist, I guess supporting black issues is now considered racist.

Trump pulling the race card on another person when he himself has said racist things is rich.
Truth be told, I would imagine that many people on this forum here are guilty of something similar at times (on-line or in-person). I am guilty of this as well.

I don't like Trump, but this comment ^^^^^ doesn't make much sense.

If they didn't care, they would ignore him......which you're admitting that they don't.

Yes a person that took out a full page add on the Central Park 5 and whose father excluded blacks from housing calling someone racist, that’s another one for the record books.

A tweet is 20 seconds, so why do you care about 20 seconds?
People spend way more time in the bathroom or eating a snack etc.
In fact Trump may have been in the bathroom when he tweeted.

Particularly one, who, when the Central Park 5 were exonerated on the basis of DNA evidence, insisted that they still had to be guilty.
Because black and brown people have to be guilty of something.

This tweet just proves that all Trump does is watch TV.

I cannot be bothered to care.

Donald Trump, Spike Lee? Both are insufferable egomaniacs who feel the need to bombard the rest of us with every inane thought that flows through their heads.


I do like Spike's films though. Most of them.
