Leaked Trump tape: 'You are the special people'

[Shadowmelded]

To make fun of the PotUs's skin color a year ago would have been considered racist. I wonder why I find that so strange that it isn't now.

Because Oompa Loompa isn't a race.

He was liked enough to win an election. The popular vote is completely meaningless in a system where voting is voluntary, yet the left keep clinging to it like it's a life raft.

They will cling to it like they clung to the loss with Gore.

[JohnBrown1917]

How does this even make sense?

He constantly rants and raves about the 'evul left'(not that the US has any left wing politicians outside Bernie & co), I doubt he makes much sense.

Its not his natural skin colour, he not from the race of orange people.

I suspect the amount of people out there marching was dwarfed by the amount of people sitting at home watching them on television and calling them idiots. So I'm guessing he did something right, like win an election. The term 'silent majority' comes to mind.

There is no 'silent majority'.

[Allybeboba]

Orange isn't a race, what?

Caucasian is a race/ethnic group.

Trump was born orange?

Caucasian is a race/ethnic group.

White people generally don't have orange skin.

[Draco-Onis]

Caucasian is a race/ethnic group.

Caucasians are not born orange.

[JohnBrown1917]

Caucasian is a race/ethnic group.

He is not being made fun of for being white?

[Garnier Fructis]

Caucasian is a race/ethnic group.

Are you being intentionally obtuse or do you really not get that people are making fun of his ridiculous tan, and not the fact that he's Caucasian?

[Torto]

How does this even make sense?

Huh? How does it not? How can anyone claim Hillary was more popular when not everyone voted? Trump cannot make that claim either, but he won the election which in the end is all that matters.

[Allybeboba]

Trump was born orange?

The former PotUS was born 1/2 "orange".

Because Cheetos brand tanning isn't a race.

Of the people that voted, more people voted for Hillary. Ergo, Hillary was more popular than Trump - in relative terms.

[Draco-Onis]

At least you have some sense of humor about it

To be perfectly honest, I'm getting the vibe that you're one of those people that thinks the only correct way to do statistics is with a census (i.e. not statistics).

Making fun of people is awfully immature don't you think?

[Elegiac]

Making fun of people is awfully immature don't you think?

I for one have never mocked a disabled person.

[Garnier Fructis]

Sure, but that's not what we were discussing. Don't dodge; you said it would be considered racist. Once again, how is that so when they aren't actually criticizing his ethnicity?
