    Listen I hate trump being a word salad clown more than average but this was barely a recognizable impression of an Indian. I’m super disappointed and I was shredded to find out it wasn’t even on the level of trump making fun of the handicap. It was like watching an episode of Jerry Seinfeld doing the stand-up intro to his show. Perhaps less racist than that.

      Not a thing the President of the United States should be doing, but that was nothing, at all. He imitated the man, for a single phrase, nothing outlandish. I do that all the time telling stories of personal interactions.

      Anyway, we’ll both be banned from lemmy for “inciting racism” or some such. 🤷🏻

        You should what he shouldn’t be doing fucking little kids. Or protecting anyone who has. Release the Epstein files.

          The hell are you on about?! I’m merely stating that little imitation was nothing to get up in arms about. Did you actually watch the video? I had expected something utterly heinous.

          FFS, the prime minister of Japan chased Trump around a palace today, corralling him like a toddler. Then he ranted to our seamen about fucking magnets. I can hardly be upset that he quoted Modi in his actual accent.

          I’ve been banned 100 times for speaking, uh, loudly about this administration. Go check my posts if you think I’m MAGA.

            Perhaps you should think both things are bad and completely bizarre thing for a leader of a country to do? You should stop becoming normalised to his weirdness. It is not normal, and never will be.
