Democrats are claiming that President Trump is a racist because he is deploying help to clean up the giant poop spill in the Potomac.
On Monday, The Washington Post reported:
President Donald Trump said Monday that federal authorities will respond to a major sewage spill that occurred four weeks ago in the Potomac River, which flows between Maryland, Washington and Virginia. In a post on his social network, Truth Social, Trump said the Federal Emergency Management Agency would play a key role in a response involving “Management, Direction, and Coordination” to protect the Potomac. FEMA is one of the agencies affected by the current partial government shutdown; in past shutdowns, its employees have largely been required to work without pay.
Trump blamed “local Democrat leaders” for “gross mismanagement” in his post, and he singled out Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D), suggesting that the governor is incapable of handling the situation. On Air Force One on Monday afternoon en route to Washington from Mar-a-Lago, Trump again criticized Moore. “I don’t like the fact that he did that horrible, you know, with the pipes and the Potomac, and he’s not doing the job,” Trump said. “I’m going to have to get the federal government involved in getting it fixed, because he can’t fix anything.”
Wes Moore tried to claim it was actually the federal government’s fault. It is not. He says he’s a victim of President Trump now. Sure, it’s his state pumping raw sewage into the rivers, but it is President Trump who is the real exploiter here.
Moore will most likely run for president in 2028. I think that would be a quixotic quest; I do not think that he has “it,” whatever “it” is.
“I think the president just seems to have a very real issue with the fact that I do not bow to him and I will stand up to him because I will always defend my people. But the fact that I am the only black governor in this country and the fact that he seems to have a real issue with me, I think that’s an issue he’s got to take up,” he declared.
It’s very sad. What a victim.
Moore also claims that President Trump may be a racist because he is “assaulting” employment opportunities for black women.
He stated, “He also has spent the past year making a direct assault on scholarships for HBCUs. The past year, we have seen the greatest assault on unemployment for black women that our country has ever seen. He’s spending his time attacking history and banning books. I honestly think that, you know, it’s a question not just for the president, but frankly, I think it’s also a question for white America. If they are looking at his actions. I think that’s something that people need to wrestle with.”
This is ridiculous. The unemployment rate in the country right now is 4.3%. Trump is not undercutting black women.
If the claim by Moore is that government employment has been cut in certain areas and that demographically this disproportionately affects black women, that does not mean that Trump is specifically targeting black women by cutting federal jobs.
Claiming victimhood on behalf of black women everywhere because President Trump is cutting federal jobs is truly silly, especially on the same day that President Trump was celebrating Black History Month at the White House.
Our apparently incredibly racist president said this:
Black Americans have stepped forward to defend the flag and to defend our country like few others. And you’ve never really been given the recognition that you should get for that. I don’t think a lot of people have given the kind of recognition, but, everyone knows all about the Tuskegee Airmen. They were great and amazing. The Buffalo Soldiers, you know, the Buffalo Soldiers? Good stuff, right? Black leaders from Frederick Douglass to Martin Luther King. … have made our country freer. What they’ve really done is made life more just.
What a racist. That is egregiously KKK-type racist stuff.
One reporter on Wednesday took the opportunity to ask about whether Trump is a racist, since he has been called racist so many times.
He asked, “Where or when does the president believe he’s been falsely called racist?”
“You’re kidding, right?” White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired back, “I will pull you a plethora of examples. I’m going to get my team in that room to start going through the internet of radical Democrats throughout the years who have accused this president falsely of being a racist. And I’m sure there’s many people in this room and on network television across the country who have accused him of the same. In fact, I know that because I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”
I love it.
One D.C. resident gave a very lively speech during this event at the White House. Her grandson was violently killed in Washington, D.C., and she raved about Trump:
“We need National Guard, which we did years ago. He brought it on. I love him. I don’t want to hear nothing you got to say about the racist stuff. And don’t be looking at me on the news, hating on me because I’m standing up for somebody that deserves to be stand up for. Get off the man’s back. Let him do his job. He doing the right thing. Back up off. And grandma said it!”
But, oh, look at that vicious racist in the White House.
Say what?
