Reminds me of this racist poster by the local far right party (switzerland).
“Expel criminal foreigners. Achieve security.”

“I’m going to eat the sheep you don’t like”. Would be more spot on.
I love how this dude refuses to acually run against Kamala. It not a black man, it’s not Obama, you’re running against doofus, it’s a Black Woman. And, unless you’re a police officer, that’s at least 10x scarier for you.

Black Conservative Federation...........
Yes, they conserve the freedom of black people, gotta ration out that finite resource or else no one gets any! /s
While he is a racist POS, this quote is edited from what he really said. Here's the context and full clip on snopes:
While telling a story about Air Force One and the call sign for when a U.S. president is aboard the aircraft, Trump referenced its age and also former President Barack Obama, telling the BCF audience, "I love this great equipment. Although the plane's 32 years old, I ordered new ones, and I saved $1.7 billion from what Obama was willing to pay. I have to tell you, [he's a] Black president, but I got $1.7 billion less. Would you rather have the Black president or the white president who got $1.7 billion off the price? I think they want the white guy right now. Got $1.7 billion off the price."

That context doesn't change the meaning even slightly. If anything it makes it worse. He's talking about an issue which is not related to race in any way, but he injects race into it. It shows exactly how he sees every aspect of the world.
I agreethat the full clip is just as damning. Which is why editing it to be misleading is unnecessary and counterproductive
It's not really misleading. It's the size of clip that fits.
We’re still not seeing the full context. I assume this was part of a wider conversation about the role of race in politics.
He’s making the point that a president’s actions matter more to voters (specifically black voters in this case) than a president’s race, which isn’t a bad point. (And I guess that’s what the audience is cheering for.)
I’m not a fan of Trump, but I’m also not a fan of taking things out of context.

every time I hear the phrase 'quite part out loud' I'm reminded that despite everything he still has a chance.
anyone who thinks the quite part survived his presidency is a danger to themselves and their country.
the whole game plan has been sensory overload from day 1 of his presidency, pay attention idiots.
It truly does just boggle the mind. Worst part is he's got way more than a chance. He's trying his absolute best to fuck things up six ways to Sunday and it just doesn't seem to do absolutely anything. It's kinda wild.
The strongest memory of the Trump presidency was an exhausting series of scandals as he did this that and the other illegal thing. Felt like every single day some new leak or expose would be posted of something incredibly illegal he did, usually within the last 4 weeks before the article
