Trump Gets Torched For Praising Non-Existent AIDS Vaccine

President Donald Trump got ripped apart on Twitter after praising the non-existent AIDS vaccine during his speech on police reform on Tuesday.

“Before the end of the year, I predict we will have a very successful vaccine, therapeutic, and cure. We’re making tremendous progress. I deal with these incredible scientists, doctors very very closely. I have great respect for their minds,” Trump said during the briefing.

“And they have come up with things, and they’ve come up with many other cures and therapeutics over the years. These are the best, the smartest, the most brilliant anywhere. And they’ve come up with the Aids vaccine.”

Political pundits, health experts, and pretty much everyone else quickly took to Twitter to correct the president’s gaffe, some claimed he was lying while others called Trump “just plain dumb.”

Fox News personality Tucker Carlson noted Trump’s poor standing, which he noted is below the support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Poll: Majority of Americans Think Trump is Racist

By Tommy Christopher
Jun 13th, 2020

A stunning new poll finds that significant majorities believe President Donald Trump as racist, and rate him as “below average” or a “failure” as President.

Trump has gotten a lot of bad polling news recently, as his approval ratings have cratered and his general election opponent Joe Biden has widened his lead over the incumbent. A new Yahoo! News/YouGov poll is arguably worse news for Trump, as the results cut at his character and place in American history.

When directly asked “Do you think that President Trump is a racist?”, 52 percent said yes, while only 34 percent said no — an 18 point spread. Even a hefty plurality of white voters agreed Trump is a racist, 46-39, while only 14 percent of Republicans said yes to the question. Crucially, among independent voters, the spread was even wider than the overall number, with 53 percent saying Trump is a racist and only 31 percent saying he is not.

Why are there so many recent videos of white women trying to use their privilege as a weapon?

People refer to them as "Karens" which I don't care to do, but it's pretty obvious that there are a lot of white women who think they can get away with all kinds of shit because of their privileged status.

I think if it weren't for the fact that almost everyone has a video recorder/phone in their pocket, many of these people would've never been discovered.

Millions of Americans didn't know how pervasive this white entitlement mentality was until now.

It's pretty astounding and undeniable.

Trump says he's done more for blacks than anybody, calls Abraham Lincoln's legacy "questionable"

<...>

During a Fox News interview, Trump boasted that he had been better for Black Americans than any president in history. He then suggested that Lincoln’s legacy was “questionable.”

“I think I’ve done more for the black community than any other president, and let’s take a pass on Abraham Lincoln, because he did good — although it’s always questionable. You know, in other words, the end result –” the president said, before host Harris Faulkner cut him off.

More people come forward saying racist woman targeted them too

More people with videos and photos have come forward Thursday after recognizing a woman seen in a viral video berating a young woman working out on the stairs at Wilson Park in Torrance, telling the woman to "go back to whatever ... Asian country she belongs in."

A 42-year-old Torrance father, who identifies as Asian-American and wished to remain anonymous for fear of his family's safety, shared a video with NBCLA showing who he says is the same woman seen in the other viral video. She is seen yelling at him, while the father's 11-year-old son sat inside their car, and could hear everything.
