      I’ve never a actually read this. This is horrendous and by itself - like so, so many things - should have effectively made him unelligible for office.

      Even if he’d been right about them.

      This also could easily have been written today, and shows an amazing example of what’s wrong with a huge number of people.

        Oh I was flabbergasted when I read it too. It’s also funny because it shows his speaking style hasn’t changed that much in 40 years.

        Shows Harris did her damn research though, and fully expected to be on the attack for the race angle. I never even heard about this ad before the debate.

          This is a very well known thing and has come up in tons of discussions about Trump in the last decade, especially his 2016 presidential run. I just personally had never read the text before.

          Doesn’t mean everyone is aware, but wouldn’t be THAT impressed by Kamala being aware of it.

          it shows his speaking style hasn’t changed that much in 40 years.

          Does it? My first thought was “who wrote this? Trump definitely doesn’t know some of those words” lol
