In this case, the journalist presented things that Trump has verifiably said or done and asked why voters would - on the basis of him having said and done those things - trust him to be their president.

So again, when you said:

lol that's embarassing for you then. Jesus, man! What are they teaching you down there?

Do you think propaganda is just when you tell lies?

Loaded questions? Leading questions? Half truths? Vague allusions? Tone? Any of this ringing a bell?
Attacking me when I asked a simple question only confirms my perception of you, Burt. :wave:

It wasn’t. The recorder panned over to Trump’s right to show his water bottle.

I wonder how that interview would have gone if it was Kamala, who has been criticized for doing a whole lot more (materially) racist shit than calling a black DA an animal or saying Obama was born in Africa.

Oh what am I saying, I'm sure it would have had the same energy.

how about insisting that the central park 5 were guilty even after another guy confessed to the crimes

how about not renting to african american people, being sued and then forced to rent to african americans?

is that racists enough?

The Central Park 5 definitely did some robbing and some beating that night. They got off because the prosecutions theory of the crime didn't include another person, not that they were uninvolved. Trump doesn't sweat the details, par for the course.

Now the apparent strategy is to double down and say Kamala isn’t black.

Which is funny because it implies there is real value in the skin color of candidate and that a debate over that is more important than a policy debate. It's literally the red team's weakest area and exactly what the blue team wants, for Trump to walk into a situation where an 80 year old generational-wealth-rich white guy tries to discus the nuances of race in America.

Others are saying that, but did Trump? He "respects" her newfound black identity and original Indian identity (mocking her for changing her self ID based on political convenience).

Did the NABJ get enough credit for striking a blow against the white supremacist concept of "being on time" by starting 35 minutes late?

I hope you all are comfortable enough under a Harris administration to do the work and deconstruct whiteness. Clearly you aren't there yet.
