I hate click-bait.
“Who was here in 2021?” (Biden)
The obvious difference is Trump is courting white supremacists and refuses to denounce anything they do in his name...

"I'm desperate to find someone who still likes me."
Has the KKK ever supported someone who wasn't a total piece of shit?
Probably not, birds of a feather…
"The best people"
Trump's defense: "I have a history of racist comments, actions, and business policies. No one should be alarmed or surprised by this."
“In fact, since I’m so clearly, openly, and historically a racist piece of shit, it’s kind of your fault for not stopping me more effectively, isn’t it?”
I bet you all those marching in support for Trump and Hitler went showing their faces, cause they're cowards
But Trump seems to think he found an airtight defense for his Michigan visit. When a reporter on Tuesday asked about his response to criticism over his visit, he responded with a question of his own: “Who was here in 2021?” The answer he was fishing for — and received — was “Joe Biden.”
Of course, the big difference is that the president wasn’t visiting right after racists praised him and Hitler simultaneously.
In his defence, the only argument he's ever capable of making, this one included, is "No u."
"support for Hitler"
Kinda too late for that boys!
I mean, I also support Hitler's most recent political statement to depose Hitler. Executed with German efficiency.
Why does he need a defense? We already know he's weird.
He needed a crowd or what?
Let him. He has destroyed everything and anyone that he has ever been close to. Let him mingle with the Nazi and KKK as well..
If he manages to encourage them to do stupid shit that'll land them in prison, just like anyone else who supported or worked for him, I'll be grateful for his service, though it's through the most backwards way.
Hopefully he's going to make America great again by absorbing all the shit and letting democracy wring it out like a shitty orange sponge.
Hey, you going to deny a man meeting his most important base?
I would have believed "I'm sorry, I'm stupid and lazy and just go where my handlers say to go anyways."
But it's also the fascism.
I don't think he needs a defense, honestly. If ever there was a legitimate right-wing claim of free speech it's a presidential candidate being able to visit with and address whoever he or she chooses.
But the rest of us are also free to deduce what we will from who he chooses to stump to.
Man anyone can be a presidential candidate. He’s the nominee.
Sure, but anyone has the right to address who they want. (And as noted, have that pattern noticed...)
I’m just saying that’s the reason it matters, I could address myself as a Presidential Candidate but no one is gonna care until Im the nominee. Beyond that, Trump’s immunity comes from that fact, or at least some semblance of it.
Agreed. But it seems odd he's out there preaching to the choir while Harris is touring battleground states.

That's a fair point but I think it comes down to the fact that the only part of his mind that hasn't been consumed by whatever brain rot he's got going on seems to be his ego. In that light, it's totally logical. (for Trump)
Not to put words in the previous posters mouth but my thoughts are that he is riling up his militant base in anticipation of either getting jail time or losing the election so that the most violent individuals in his base of support would maybe protect and fight for him. I think that was what the previous poster was inferring.
Ah good point I didn't catch that. Stochastic terrorism is definitely a Trump MO, so I agree there also!
Agreed. It's good that they're now saying the quiet parts out loud. We can see that there's definitely a pattern of racism in Trump's actions. Those of us that are secure don't have to support it.
He's been saying the quiet part out loud since he took out a full page ad in New York, demanding the incarceration of the Central Park Five.
Trump loves the kkk and is a Nazi sympathizer so no surprise here.
