with you! Black is the color of one's skin. Did Dumbo Orange Felon think Kamala was pink before she 'turned" black? OMG - he is crazy AND stupid.

That's the only explanation for saying she used to be Indian and then she "turned black" and "I didn't know she was black." Either way, he's way off track. Who thought this q&a would turn out good for him? 🤣 🤣 🤣

Hey, Trump, maybe she'll reveal her secret to deciding to turn black? Wouldn't that be awesome?

Oh, snap.
