The Root: Trump Interrupted a Black Woman While She Spoke During a Town Hall. It Didn't Go Well

[StarfishSaver]

Basically, Black women have been saving America from itself and putting America in its place since the beginning of time, so it was no shock when a Black woman stood up to President Trump and he stood down because the president is a lot of things but he hasn’t lost what little mind he has left.

Ellesia Blaque, an assistant professor who swapped her superhero mask for a face covering to be COVID-19-compliant confronted the president of white supremacy over his efforts to continue running his fuckshit express all over the American people. Blaque wanted to know how Trump’s efforts to repeal and never quite replace the Affordable Care Act were going to help people like herself with preexisting conditions during a town hall event Tuesday.

...And that is the moment he knew he f*cked up:

Blaque: Please stop and let me finish my question, Sir. Should that be removed, within a 36- to 72-hour period, without my medication, I will be dead.

You know that there was an implied “bitch” at the end of that sentence. And you know what the president did when Blaque told him to shut the f*ck up? He. Shut. The. F*ck. Up.

1. He really did. You could almost hear his lips slap shut.

[dawg day]

3. I remember when he went to a Black church and started trashing Clinton

And the woman minister said, sharply but calmly, that he was invited to see their civic actions, not to politic.
He shut right up.

Everyone should do that with him-- sharp but calm.

[Solly Mack]

4. That might help.

8. Sharp but calm.

I know from experience that it works with most old white men. They are so surprised that a younger woman would stop them, correct them and explain why they are being corrected.

[lunatica]

11. They react the same way to older women shutting them up

But most enlightened younger men, having been brought up by Feminists of the last century actually think women are smart and wise and powerful.

Men brought up by feminists have turned out to be quite comfortable with their masculinity too.

[Delmette2.0]

12. You are absolutely right.are. nt

[gratuitous]

9. Trump's reaction tells me he does know how to behave himself

He clearly makes a conscious choice to be rude, dismissive, and antagonistic.

[bullimiami]

2. What a full of shit liar. He sure likes to hear himself babble though.

6. Kamala, Susan Rice, the Mayor of Atlanta, et al.

THIS.

This is why what America really, truly needs and deserves if it's going to heal, is a black woman president.

Shut the Fascist, racist, dumb-phuck white supremacists up fo'eva'

7. That was a beautiful thing.

She handed his ass right back to him. I have never seen anybody shut him down like that. Not even Nancy Pelosi.

[Bettie]

10. I have enjoyed watching that clip

over and over.

OH, I just can't wait until he is just a private citizen again and being prosecuted for various things.

13. so I sat down and

talked to my dog about the trump healthcare plan and my dog made more sense than the gish galop coming out of the PINOs mouth.

P.S. My dog wanted to know when he could see a copy of that plan shitforbrains was talking about.
