Donald Trump attempts to prove he is not a racist by retweeting a stolen picture of a black family from a news site and claiming they are supporters.

The link on the tweet no longer goes to anything, but before somebody tried to do a little clean up, it went to this picture here of what are supposed to be Trump supporters.


Look how happy they are to be supporting Donald Trump. Now how can he be a racist with that kind of support?

Wait for it.....
Yeah now that link goes to this online news story about a black family reunion in the Midwest.

Oops.

According to Buzzfeed the family in that picture are certainly NOT supporters of Donald Trump, and do not appreciate their picture being used to create a false narrative. 

And of course this all follows an episode where Donald Trump called a black supporter "My African American."

In the words of my daughter, "Epic fail!"

    Epic fail but also, please consider - in this world where things go viral on the internet, Donald Trump has just put this innocent family in the public eye. Donald Trump has decided to co-opt this family's image (kinda like owning a person?????) for his own purpose, and made them vulnerable to whatever uncontrolled hate-fest may be in store for them. A family, and their innocent children! It is not important what they believe or don't believe; even an attempt to clarify the record ("We haven't supported any candidate") could be held against them and subject them to hatred and potential violence.

    This is yet another reason why Donald Trump is completely unfit to get anywhere near the Oval Office.

      I'm Black, and we know Trump is a racist, we know he is a white supremacist. Trust me, he will not be getting the Black vote.

      I will suggest to all Latinos, Asians, and Muslims, do not vote for him either.

  7. "...they never showed the crowds...." The networks, in their deal with Trump, were not allowed to pan their cameras around to the crowd, but had to keep the cameras always on Trump.

      Why is it Donald Trump would say, in his earlier speeches that the media would never show how many people he was drawing to his speeches - by putting the cameras on the crowd?

      He'd taunt them constantly for not doing so....so, disagree w/your statement, 5:01 AM!

      That has to be a myth, that's not the way news organizations work. As 2:34 says, Trump always railed against the cameramen for NOT showing the crowd size - never mind the fact that the it was the job of the camera operators to take directions from their supervisors, not from the guy on the podium.

    So funny no one has to make up anything about Trump-all you need to do is use his own words and actions against him.

    Will be interesting to see how Republicans get rid of him before election.

      LOL--how are they supposed to get rid of the only candidate they have left??? Who would take that spot? Any self-respecting goofball who had humiliated himself the way Trumpf has for the past year would have gracefully dropped out a long time ago. Are the Rethuglicans going to tap one of the Koch Bros???

      Agreed. He used their picture w/o their consent.

      Turns out that 'his' African American - the one he so proudly pointed out to the crowd at one of his California ralleys ALSO is not a supporter, just some GOPer that happened to pass by there.

    2. Just add it to the ~3,500 he's already involved in -- he'll never notice, or, he'll bribe them, or threaten them to shut up about it. Hope it's the latter. More grounds for the lawsuit.

      I find it hard to believe that ANY Republican would want to go on the Trump ticket. Trump will lose the race to Clinton and the VP candidate will have ruined his/her political career!

      The only person I think that might be idiot enough to run w/Trump is Sarah Palin! We all know her political career fell by the wayside a long time ago! She'd do it for money and publicity!

    The GOP’s Giant New Headache: Donald Trump Brags About Making Money With Dictators

    Donald Trump is a candidate without a campaign – and it’s becoming a serious problem.

    Republicans working to elect Trump describe a bare-bones effort debilitated by infighting, a lack of staff to carry out basic functions, minimal coordination with allies and a message that’s prisoner to Trump’s momentary whims.

    “Bottom line, you can hire all the top people in the world, but to what end? Trump does what he wants,” a source close to the campaign said.

    In reporting on Trump’s operation, NBC News talked to three Trump aides and two sources working closely alongside the campaign, all of whom requested anonymity in order speak freely.

    Veteran operatives are shocked by the campaign’s failure to fill key roles. There is no communications team to deal with the hundreds of media outlets covering the race, no rapid response director to quickly rebut attacks and launch new ones, and a limited cast of surrogates who lack a cohesive message.

    Trump will likely keep insulting Hillary. He will likely keep raising issues of ethnicity, race and gender. He will lash out at opponents and shrug off specific plans. Hillary, having found her voice, will pound on the Commander-In-Chief issue, and the economy. Her own unpopularity will recede. Undecideds will break toward Hillary. Republicans will stay home in droves. Trump will win the Old Confederacy and a few Rocky Mountain states, but not by a lot. Hillary will win comfortably elsewhere. And the Senate and the House? Gone.

    This inevitability of this outcome is dawning on Republicans everywhere. What you are smelling is primal fear. They can see it coming, an inevitable tidal wave sweeping them from power. The Senate: Gone. The House: Gone.

    It’s going to happen. But unlike most Greek tragedies, where the hero destroys himself but everyone else survives, he’s dragging everyone with him. Trump is about to destroy the Republican Party in his own mad dash to oblivion.

    You know they should have called this bastard's lying when he said he saw muslims cheering on the 9/11 bombings. It was like watching a three year old lying and everyone just shrugged it off. Donald only know lies. He's never read 2 corinthians and even the christians didn't call him on it. I've never seen a candidate hold up the bible like he did as if were something he swore by.
