While he is a racist POS, this quote is edited from what he really said. Here's the context and full clip on snopes:

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."

every time I hear the phrase 'quite part out loud' I'm reminded that despite everything he still has a chance.

anyone who thinks the quite part survived his presidency is a danger to themselves and their country.

the whole game plan has been sensory overload from day 1 of his presidency, pay attention idiots.

It truly does just boggle the mind. Worst part is he's got way more than a chance. He's trying his absolute best to fuck things up six ways to Sunday and it just doesn't seem to do absolutely anything. It's kinda wild.

The strongest memory of the Trump presidency was an exhausting series of scandals as he did this that and the other illegal thing. Felt like every single day some new leak or expose would be posted of something incredibly illegal he did, usually within the last 4 weeks before the article

Last I saw the odds the bookmakers had them even (have they changed since the hurricane?)

Just checked again. Trump is odds on to win

I linked it in the post body with a twitter mirror

oh,I get an infinite loading screen.

Dunno why you can't view the video. It's 13 seconds long, and he says:

"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"

I don't know what price he's referring to (I'm not American).

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

wackadoo.

okay, thanks, I'll try it on my computer, maybe it's a platform issue with that site.

I believe the quote and you, I just find that idiot so literally incredible, as in unbelievable, that I have to watch and say these stupid things in person.

There are some instances that still run. Not exactly sure how, to be honest. The main two I know about that still work are

xcancel.com (what I linked in the body) and nitter.poast.org

Yeah it is so obvious now.
