Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail!

And am I wrong to see some racial animosity by the POTUS with the tone of that remark?

He's such an idiot.

(52,496 posts)juvenile to insist on getting thanks before they've really had a chance to offer it.
racial to assume they'd be ungrateful (if they were white, would he make that same assumption?)
also, generally, accusing black people of being "ungrateful" is a racial dog whistle.
well, most dog whistles these days are getting quite loud to the human ear....

(15,396 posts)"see, I'm not a racist, I got those basketball players out of China"
It's how his feeble mind works. He probably thinks he singlehandedly improves the lives of all Chinese Americans because he gets his suits dry-cleaned.
He's a racist asshat, and Omarosa probably told him he needed to highlight how he was nice to some black folks.

(13 posts)to highlight how ungrateful "the blacks" are when a powerful white man deigns to help them rather than to crush them. F**k him. The basketball players, if they have any sense, should never utter a word of thanks to this white supremacist douchebag.

(37,428 posts)He never seems to have had much going on mentally, and appears to be deteriorating since taking office. Never having had a job before, he must be exhausted by even the minimal presidential routine of ordering others to do his work.

(1,307 posts)so he can claim he is a victim of the ungrateful "inner-city thugs". Wouldn't put it past him.
And, if they didn't, his huge vanity can't tolerate the distorted perception of a slight.
The man is seriously disturbed and twisted. What grown-up man would have thoughts like this ?
