Republicans have reportedly been pleading with Trump to stay on message — but his campaign just can’t seem to help itself.
On Tuesday, an official social media account of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign posted a racist meme implying that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidency in November, nice suburban neighborhoods will be overrun with hordes of Black people and immigrants.
“Import the third world. Become the third world,” read the post on X, the former Twitter.
I’ll be honest, I do think that the photo looks pretty bad. I wrote my original comment in this thread after reading the text of Trump’s tweet but without loading the image, and after seeing the image I agree that it looks a lot more racist than what swing voters want to see. The funny thing is that usually most of the people at that shelter are lighter-skinned Hispanics, not blacks. I suppose that makes the picture even worse…
I think it’s interesting and important for Democrats to look at statistics about the attitudes of minorities towards immigrants, but I shouldn’t have done that here.
