    Trump’s entire political career has been absolutely riddled with what should have been career-ending PR disasters. Nobody can seriously believe that this one, or the last one, or the next one, will somehow be the one to do him in.

      While I 100% agree, his own surrogates like Peter Navarro are trying to distance themselves from Tony’s set. This means that Trumps team at least thinks this is a problem.

      Additionally, I don’t think there exists a realistic single event that will cause Trump supporters to leave in droves, but there are hundreds of thousands of Americans with Puerto Rican heritage between Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Maybe this encourages 10% of them to go vote if they were originally planning to sit this one out. 50k more votes for Harris would likely make the difference.

        The 2nd largest community of Ukrainian immigrants lives in Pennsylvania as well. Remember, ‘Feivel Goes West: An American Tale’ is about a Jewish Ukrainian mouse family.

        Trump team is fucking up with a lot of immigrants stories. I hope they all come out to vote this year…

    His voters, angry white man-children, love the joke and the pain it has caused. They are weak, scared, and angry and hurting people makes them feel better about themselves.

      Based on the 2020 results, he had (somehow) been making some inroads with some Hispanic voters. But between the report that he was big mad about the military having to pay for a funeral for a murdered soldier with a Spanish surname and this clear disdain for Hispanic citizens, maybe it’s becoming clear that in the eyes of Trump and his supporters, there is no such thing as ‘one of the good ones’. The best you can hope to be is someone they haven’t gone after yet.

        drumpf supporters always find a way to justify what he says and then develop a new more disgusting opinion that matches. How long until PR MAGA are explaining how PR really is trash and only their diapered Messiah can MIGA?

      It’s not a PR disaster because it might cost him his base. The question is whether it will cost him people in the middle who don’t particularly like that shit. It probably won’t,but if there’s a chance it costs him half a point I’ll take it.

    Until he is literally caught, on film, live, in the act having sex with a child, there’s no such thing as a PR disaster for this guy. Even then, millions will still vote for him.

        Trump would just accuse Kamala of raping an even younger, even darker skinned child and his base would clap their hand and coo and drool and continue to babble on.

        They’ve show they don’t care about the sexual abuse of young boys and they certainly don’t worry about such things as people of colour being human beings.

      What, pray tell, do you think the Russian P-tape is? It has nothing to do with urine. The letters that follow the P are E D and O.

    Trump has been a PR disaster since day 1. His cult does not care. He could walk out on stage and shoot someone and then continue on with his speech.

      Upvoted for the excellent pun. (For context, major Puerto Rico fuckup by the Trump campaign. )
