“I did not know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now wants to be known as Black,” Trump said.

“I respect either one," he added, "but she obviously doesn't, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went she became Black. ... Somebody should look into that too.” Trump said.

LMFAO. It's as if he can't grasp the idea Harris is a mix of both a Jamaican born Father and Indian born Mother who also married a Jewish man.

But yeah, she just now turned black and hates Jews... hmmhmm, sure lmao.

It's almost funny how close he is to getting it; Kamala isn't half Indian and half Jamaican, but 100% both of those things, and also this is in no way contradictory to the fact that Harris is American. Trump is a shortsighted dumbass but his confusion is actually legit here because what's happening is his mental model of race and ethnicity isn't compatible with the reality of how race, ethnicity and heritage is understood for many people. If only he would show a modicum of introspection, this confusion might've been a useful learning point. Unfortunately, he will allow himself no such growth.
