Did y’all ever notice how often Donald Trump plays the race card?
Understand, Trump is perpetually drowning in legal scandals. He’s always being investigated for one thing or another. He was impeached twice while serving as president. He’s had so many frivolous lawsuits tossed by judges that Trump suits are essentially the litigation version of junk mail. And all the while, Trump complains. Trump claims to be the victim of a “witch hunt.” He believes they’re all out to get him. Trump’s massive ego can only be eclipsed by his massive persecution complex.
But it’s only when the legal officials handling his cases happen to be Black that he throws out the word “racist” without bothering to explain where exactly race even comes into play.
For example, when New York Attorney General Letitia James proceeded with an investigation into the Trump Organization—which has been accused of dubious business dealings—after a suit Trump filed to quash the case was dismissed, Trump threw a temper tantrum and inexplicably called James “racist” via his Truth Social platform.
He also referred to James as “Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James,” which made no sense because that’s not a nickname she goes by. My guess is either Trump, being the world’s biggest man-baby that he is, really misses the childhood game, or he was trying to figure out whether to call James a “pickaninny” or “jigaboo” and decided to split the difference.
Anyway, now Trump is calling Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is Black, racist for inviting him to testify before a grand jury in New York over his alleged involvement in hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. Once again, Trump took to his favorite white nationalist echo chamber to, without explanation, call Bragg racist and whine about his own former lawyer, who he allegedly made the payments through, being called as a witness.
