Predictions are a fool’s game. But I’ll tell you one thing any fool could have predicted: that Donald Trump’s appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention last week would involve him saying something stupid and racist.

Lo and behold, this is exactly what happened. When asked about Kamala Harris, Trump complained that the vice-president seemed to have undergone some sort of racial metamorphosis. “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black,” Trump proclaimed. “So, I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”

He added: “You know what, I respect either one. But she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, then all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a Black person. And I think somebody should look into that.”

While somebody is looking into that, they should probably also investigate what year Trump thinks it is. I know the guy was born in 1946 – 21 years........
