PORTSMOUTH – After crediting himself with forcing Barack Obama to make public his Hawaiian birth certificate, billionaire businessman Donald Trump today accused the President, his supporters and the national media of playing the "race card" against him.

In an interview with UnionLeader.com, Trump, who is seriously considering a run for the GOP presidential nomination, said the media is trying to make his pursuit of Obama's birth certificate issue "a race card," and, "This has nothing to do with race. Absolutely nothing.

"There is nobody who's less of a racist than me," said Trump.

1. Well he does say he's got "a great relationship with the blacks"

Certainly, you can't be racist if you say something like that :crazy:

[varkam]

8. Of course not. Why, by definition, anyone who has a great relationship with *the* blacks...

could not possibly be a racist. Whew. We can all rest easy, now.

[LynneSin]

2. Just because you've married women born in Czechoslovakia and Slovenia doesn't mean you aren't racist

nuff said.

And based on what these dumbass birthers are saying, 4 of your kids aren't qualifed to be President since one parent was born overseas (only Marla's kid could run).

[bullwinkle428]

3. At what point in the interview did he claim he has lots of black friends?

[Viking12]

25. That was a previous interview..

"I have a great relationship with the blacks. I've always had a great relationship with the blacks,"

4. Hey, Donnie, let give you a little hint here......

When someone calls you a "racist asshole" the important word is the "asshole" part. Racist is just an adjective, you know.

Asshole.

[MineralMan]

5. Trump has many black friends, I understand.

They work in his casino and other buildings. He says "Hi!" to them when he sees them.

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. Wonder how black employees of Trump inc feel about his behavior

[MineralMan]

22. Unprintable, I'm sure.

What a moron.

[lpbk2713]

6. Nobody? Such a statement is ludicrous.

But then ... consider the source.


:rofl:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. My first thought.

How about a baby?

How about a 1 day old?

How about a 2 day old?

How about 90% of the planet?

[Wait Wut]

7. The man is fuscia.

He can't be racist.

:crazy:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. Poor baby. Did that big mean President pick on you?

Did he take your new favorite toy away from you and put you in time out? I think someone needs a diaper change right about now.

:rofl:

[Wind Dancer]

24. LOL!

Love it!

[zazen]

11. actually, I've never known a narcissist who was really racist

I know this sounds weird, but it's like, narcissists are egalitarian in the way they see everybody (until they split them into "make me look good" and "unworthy to live because they don't prop me up," so people's utility as narcissistic props overrides their membership in particular groups.

I'm thinking of one famous narcissist politician of recent memory in particular who was happy to employ and truly listen to African American men and women and white women, as long as they told him he was wonderful. That's all he saw in them--narcissistic supply.

[BobbyBoring]

23. Wow cool point

I've been studying personalty disorders as of late and you're right! As long as one will listen to all the self aggrandizing, they can be black, green or purple.

[Raschel]

12. Racists always say that.

"I'm the LEAST racist of all...blah blah blah. I have Black friends, blah blah."

[ecstatic]

13. Quickly losing track of all the dog whistles Trump used this week. Add "race card"

to the mix. :eyes:

[Liberal_in_LA]

19. yeah, he's out of control.

[Raschel]

14. "there's nobody less of a racist than Bill Clinton".... WTH, is Trump the racist expert now?

[Liberal Veteran]

15. Hmm. So from that I must conclude if you aren't a racist, you're a fucking piece of trash.

A piece of trash that would gag a basilisk.

[OKNancy]

16. He might have gotten away with this except the accusations he made about

his educational qualifications was blatant racism. You just can't disguise that you fish-mouthed creep.

[rurallib]

17. He reminds me so much of the loud mouth assholes from my youth

- and by 'youth' I mean late '50s & early '60s - that would throw out racist terms and reinforce the usual racist stereotypes and then end with a (you all know what comes next) "some of my best friends are ____________." Or a "There are some good _________"

Once I thought we as a society had moved somewhat beyond this crap, but it was only suppressed for a while. It is coming back with a vengence, spurred by the media.

I hated it then, I hate it now. Even when confronted he will deny, deny, deny. Just as racists always do.

[malaise]

20. Only racists like Trump must be allowed to play the race card

Fuck you Trump!

[fishwax]

21. lol -- keep digging, donnie

:rofl:
