He’s the story on Trump’s asking about of America would want a Black President or a White one?
The comment IS in context of the Presidential plane, Air Force One’s replacement, which has STILL not happened* ….
It IS STILL straight out racist…..
Trump originally delivered the remark during a speech at the Black Conservative Federation (BCF) Honors Gala. The BCF website describes the group as “the premier hub for Black conservatives throughout the country.” The event took place at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center in Columbia, South Carolina, on Feb. 23, 2024.
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.”
On the same day as Trump’s speech, the @kamalahq account on X — previously named @bidenhq — posted (archived) the same 13-second clip, only captioning it with the truncated quote, “Trump: Would you rather have the Black president or the white president? I think they want the white guy.”….
Note….
Trump HAS gone racial on Barack Obama from the jump….
*The two replacement B-747-8 where built for a Russian airline that gave them up ….The aircraft where first takewn over in 2018…They are due to be delivered operational between 2026 or 2027….Trump had a hand in the cost for the aircraft which have cost Boeing over $2Billion in loses….
