    You can't make this crap up. Here's Trump's actual quote.

    “The Black population in this country is going to die because of what’s happened, what’s going to happen to their jobs — their jobs, their housing, everything, I want to stop that. … They’re taking everything.”
    It's another lie. First of all, black unemployment is about 5% down from historical averages. Second, immigrants don't take citizen jobs; in fact, immigrants usually add to the number of jobs citizens have. Citizens generally don't want the jobs immigrants do, but because of the immigrant jobs, there is more demand created that creates more jobs.

    I'm sorry someone took a shot at Trump, and I'm glad he survived. But Trump is still the Hitler quoting racist looking to sow division in this country.

    Concern trolling about immigrants affecting them is the only time Trump and his zealots pretend to care about black people.

    Trump and the far, far Right's wet dream would be to have a Civil War between the blacks and immigrants.

    Unfortunately there are a lot of racist morons in America who are more than happy to vote for him.

    The quote in the article:
    “The Black people are going to be decimated by the millions of people that are coming into the country,” he told Bloomberg in an interview published on July 16.
    “There will never be a decimation like this, and they’re already feeling it,” he added. “Their wages have gone way down. Their jobs are being taken by the migrants coming in illegally into the country.”

    Whether you agree or not

    He made both statements. At one point he said decimated, at another point in the same interview he said they would die. AzCatFan didn't change Trump's quote, he quoted a different part of Trump's interview.

    I am trying to decide whether you were so eager to prove him wrong that you didn't continue reading or whether you are lying by saying that he lied. Either way, keep reading. The article says "His language then turns apocalyptic." Following that sentence is the quote in question:

    Perhaps you should apologize for accusing somebody of lying when you were either lying or simply couldn't be bothered to continue reading the article.

    Did and it is a BS site bent on falsehood. Why not post all of the quote as Trump was abundantly clear whether you agree or not.

    Instead, AZ called Trump a racist Hitler and a divider of the nation. after not attributing the entire quote.

    That is quite the shift in goal posts. First, you claimed that he changed the quote. That was false. You have yet to apologize for your falsehood there. Why don't we start with an admission of the fact that you stated a falsehood, as the quote is clearly visible in both the article and the initial interview linked in the article?

    ET left out the part of article in the OP where Trump said “die”… now who is the liar who should be ashamed of himself??

    His language then turned apocalyptic.

    “The Black population in this country is going to die because of what’s happened, what’s going to happen to their jobs — their jobs, their housing, everything,” he said. “I want to stop that. … They’re taking

    I quoted what I thought was relevant. And it was an accurate quote. You lied saying I misquoted Trump. Care to apologize?

    I also didn't lie when I said Trump quoted Hitler. "Poisoning the blood" is straight from Mein Kamph. And Trump used the quote more than once.

    I would also call "black jobs" and claiming immigrants will take everything away from black people is racist. It implies black people only work bottom level jobs that immigrants take. Which is not only racist, it's a complete falsehood.

    And I’m happy you’re referring to them as “black people” and not the other term I’ve seen you use, that’s an improvement

    The quote is clearly in the article. Multiple people linked it to you. Let me link it to you in the initial interview as well:

    https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2024-trump-interview-transcript/?terminal=true

    It is pretty clear that you are lying at this stage but trying to cover it by accusing the people who read the article of lying.

    Point out the lies, please. The only lie I'm seeing is your claim that I misquoted Trump.
