Trump: Barack Obama Will Be The Last Black President For Generations

What a shitstain!

http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/318-66/31629-trump-barack-obama-will-be-the-last-black-president-for-generations

Joining ABC’s This Week, Trump said he thinks Obama has created a “very poor standard” and has, thus, harmed any chance that voters will send another African American to the White House. “I think he has set a very low bar, and I think it’s a shame for the African American people,” Trump said.

The bellicose billionaire boasted previously that he likes black people and they like him. He also contends that, despite his virulent remarks on immigration, he will also win among Hispanic voters. Trump fired a senior campaign aide Sunday after racist social media posts were revealed.

On the possibility that Vice President Joe Biden might join the presidential race, he said, “I think he’s been very loyal to the president. That’s one thing I will say.”

He went on to say that he does not believe Biden will be effective on the campaign trail. “There’s a lot of anger in the country. There’s a lot of anger with respect to President Obama. That would include Joe Biden. Because nothing’s been done. I mean, we’ve got a country that’s in turmoil.”

how he has zero nuance. Saying Obama had driven the country into turmoil is just so crazy. No one wants a leader to be so dogmatic. Any reasoned person could find something positive to say about Obama - even if they didn't like everything they did.

had to consider anyone else and has always said whatever popped into his head. With all that money no one else mattered

He did, however, say that we had to take care of the people less fortunate than ourselves. Heard Kasich say that last night too. And Christie talked about helping people addicted to drugs and alcohol. That was the sum total of caring out of 14 people.

Yeah, yeah there's "anger" out in the country, so the billionaire has figured out the cause. Can't be the sliding middle class, or the lack of choice among lower income working families, or sales and property taxes going up which don't affect the extremely wealthy.

It just has to be because a black president has set a low bar.

And by the way: If he set the bar low, doesn't that make it MORE likely another black president will sit in the WH?
