Trump said:
The thugs last night in San Jose, and then this Democratic mayor gets up I think it was Donald Trump. You know what I say to that? When we have a protester inside, which isn’t even very often, I say be very gentle. Please don’t hurt him. Take care of him. If he wants to shout, if he punches you in the face smile as your nose is pouring blood out of it. Be very, very nice. We had a case where we had an African-American man who was a fan of mine. Great fan. Great guy. In fact, I want to find out what’s going on with him. Aw, look at my African-American over here. Are you the greatest? Do you know what I’m talking about?
Trump just melted down in the middle of a rally and said something completely racist. Somebody might want to tell Trump that slavery is illegal. There are no African-Americans that are “his.” African-Americans are people, and Donald Trump doesn’t own his fellow human beings.
With one outburst, Trump proved that everything that Hillary Clinton is saying about him was true. Donald Trump divides everyone. When he looked into that California crowd, he didn’t see supporters. He saw white supporters and an African-American supporter. Trump has the temperament and impulse control of a toddler.
The man is a full-blown racist, who is an embarrassment to the United States of America. It will be a great day in our nation’s history when voters toss Donald Trump into the dustbin of presidential losers.
