'Trump’s New National Spokesperson Is African-American Tea Partier Katrina Pierson'

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has brought on Katrina Pierson, a black Tea Party activist, as his new national spokeswoman, Politico reports.

Katrina Pierson used to be a liberal, then she turned Tea Party, then she backed Ted Cruz and then she switched to Trump.

That is not surprising because Trump transcends party politics as he is a populist and not a traditional Republican; he was (and probably still is) liberal himself. That is why Trump's biggest fans, the Stump for Trump Sisters, who are African-American, "ditched and switched" from Democrat to Republican in order to vote for Trump.

This isn't about what's coming out of Trump's mouth. It's about what's in his head.

'Claig are you so stubborn that you refuse to see that Trump is nothing more than a racist, misogynisctic arsehole'

Then why are the African-American Stump for Trump sisters, his biggest fans? Why is the black Katrina Pierson his national spokesperson and why do famous black Republicans like Dr Ben Carson and Herman Cain support Trump?

There are always crazy people in this world. See my post about Katrina. Ben Carson is definitely out there, and the Stump sisters are not far off.

'All that Hillary needs to do now is sit back and watch him sink further.'

A lot of commenattors have said the polls are skewed.

Trump gets far more likes on social media than Hillary and packs out stadiums, unlike her. We will have to wait 90 more days to see who wins.

Claig, you didn't actually answer my question. I didn't ask about his other supporters. I asked about you.

[claig]

'I asked about you.'

I have said, I don't believe that Trump is a racist, misogynist. I think Trump will scrap the free trade deals, bring jobs back, end Establishment cronyism and politicians being bought by lobbyists and end globalism, and that is what most of his supporters want.

[Roussette]

I think it was intended to be a joke and it went wrong. He doesn't read off scripts usually and he says the first thing that comes to his head sometimes. He opens his mouth without engaging his brain sometimes and that is why he does so many gaffes

That's going to go down a storm then isn't it, when dealing with North Korea. Or China who exist for formality. Orany other country other than the US for that matter

'That's going to go down a storm then isn't it, when dealing with North Korea. Or China who exist for formality. '

Yes, that's Trump. He won't change because he can't change, as Hillary says "there is only one Donald Trump". The world will have to adjust to it.

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

People who blindly support someone inspite of all the evidence that should be persuading them otherwise are the scariest of all.

[Lweji]

I don't believe that Trump is a racist, misogynist

Why not? What evidence to the contrary do you actually have?

Maybe because he loves "the blacks" so much?
"“I have a great relationship with the blacks,” Trump said in April 2011. “I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.”"

The world will have to adjust to it.

He will be very surprised in November, then.

[claig]

'Why not? What evidence to the contrary do you actually have?'

Because he has employed the formidable Katrina Pierson, who is black, as his national spokesperson and because many prominent black Republicans support him. As do the legendary Stump for Trump sisters. I figure they all know more about it than I do.

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

And the fact that he said he would ban all Muslims from America? Is that not racism? Reducing women to nothing more than a piece of ass? Is that not misogyny?

[originalmavis]

Doesn't he also like uneducated people too? I don't think he knows half the stuff he comes our with.

He's like a half cut uncle at a wedding reception spouting all sorts of nonsense and nobody bothering to call him on it.

And as for not being racist... the 'some of my friends are xxx' defense hardly stands up does it?

And - here's a shocker - you can be a racist and not hate every single 'other' group out there.

[originalmavis]

Banning Muslims isn't racism, as Islam isn't a race. He is still a twonk though.

[ImperialBlether]

Claig, how on earth can you say he's not misogynistic?

[Lweji]

I've already replied to those two examples.

She is NOT black. And she does her best to look "white".

What do you say of all the other examples of racial stereotyping and discrimination?

What do you say of the long list of non-whites who don't support Trump and do think he is racist? Why are they wrong and barely black inconsistent Katrina is right?

[claig]

'And the fact that he said he would ban all Muslims from America? Is that not racism? Reducing women to nothing more than a piece of ass? Is that not misogyny?'

I don't think he meant those things, which is why he has said the ban will only apply to countries where there is terrorism unless the people can be vetted. And I don't think he thinks that of his daughter and wife and many female employees.

[claig]

Why are you saying that Katrina Pierson is not black, when she is and says so herself. Are you also saying that Obama is not black?

'What do you say of the long list of non-whites who don't support Trump and do think he is racist?'

Everyone is entitled to their view. Katrina Pierson and the Stump for Trump sisters and HermaniCain and Dr Ben Carson and many others disagree with them, and they are entitled to their views too.

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

He didn't mean those things? Is that the best you can do? Scary!

Original, quite right. I take it all back. He's a handsome, loving and inclusive man. You know, I think he reads to disabled children and the elderly when he is not spouting cheap.

Ye Gods. I can't believe I just read that. The US are just part of the world and its views like that that create a lot of anti-Americanism.
