I'm really angry at Donald Trump for this. I think people have become jaded and have the attitude that he says racist things all the time, but I truly believe this is the worst thing he has ever said.
I'm actually tempted to agree with this. It's so much more incendiary, in so many more directions. He has simultaneously managed to fire on women, ethnic minorities, Americans, Democrats, foreigners, and people who understand how immigration works at all. It's such a cartoonishly dumb thing to say, that for him to believe it even remotely is the greatest insult of all. It's like he straight-up hasn't been paying attention to anyone or anything. I give pretty much everyone the benefit of the doubt, pretty much every time, unless other people beat me to it. But here, I cannot even conceive of a person who would think these comments make sense, and yet there is no benefit of the doubt to give. He's just an idiot.
The obvious thing here is that he is clearly trying to rile up the media so they talk about this instead of some colossal indiscretion. No way does Donald Trump mean what he's saying up there. Even Donald Trump is too intelligent to believe that if you're black you automatically must just be visiting from Africa. If he thought that, then he would have appeared on TV wearing his clothes inside out at least once by now, or stuck his finger in a foreign electrical socket, or pooed his pants on purpose at an international summit, or believed the Avengers are real, or tried to declare war on Westeros. He hasn't done any of those, so who is he trying to fool by acting this dumb?
So: what the hell is he trying to distract everyone from? What has he
actually done this time that he needs to cover up?
