Trump saying no tapes exist of him using racist language.

Man I hope someone on his team has fucked up, and the tapes get released.

Trump is too confident, that they must be locked up in a fort knox vault somewhere.

1. A of course there are it is just a matter of getting them released, but, HOWEVER

B. so you are saying you have obviously used the words, there is just no TAPE of it

2. Strong denial: "I have never used such language and never will!"

Weak denial: "There aren't any tapes of me saying that!"
Very weak denial: "My old calendars do not contain any record of me saying stuff like that on any weekend"

3. He's parsing his words... No tapes, but news reports such as his "shithole" countries?nt

4. With Trump, saying something like this usually means he just found out someone has a tape of him

using racist language.

He's often over-specific in his denials when he's trying to get ahead of a story.

5. As if it matters to his constituency

You know they'd love it.

7. And today when an African American female reporter (April?) asked

him about the use of the word "nationalist" and how it might be interpreted as support for white nationalism, he looked at her and said something to the effect that the question was racist and turned to someone else. Not sure if he told her to sit down or if that was another female reporter.

8. He left out ONE WORD

That word is WITHOUT!! It comes right after the word (exist) This is how it should be. Trump saying no tapes exist WITHOUT him using racist language.

9. He says racist shit about every fucking day!

[Chellee]

10. So... If Trump says that there are no tapes,

what I'm hearing is that absolutely there are tapes.

11. i think we overestimate the use value of such evidence

Trump says "i am not a racist". irrefutable evidence is then presented of him being a racist. what do we get from that?
1. Trump is a racist -- we all knew that already, and his supporters see it as a feature.
2. Trump is a liar -- again, what's new here? he lies like a rug on a regular basis. he lies like he's defending the world record for lies per day. this isn't exactly a shocker.

the real problem here is the electorate knowingly chose to put a lying racist into the presidency. how we address this issue going forward will tell us volumes about who Americans are as a people.
