Dude, that’s exactly what TM is saying. Let me channel what I think one of my union member cousins in the Ancestral Homeland thinks:
He may be a jerk to people, but I like his plan to reopen factories and save our jobs. Yeah, [insert name of his one black friend who he played basketball with in high school], hates him. And [] makes some good points. But I’m saving $1500 on taxes and the f——ts are kicking kicked out of the Army, so I think he just needs to cool it a bit with LeBron, and he’ll be good.
Bingo. My cousin Sully would tell you that he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body, but is ok with a certain level of racism in Trump.
