Racist Trump Just Bizarrely Pointed Out ‘a Mexican’ in His Rally Audience, ‘This Guy … He’s a Mexican!’
Donald Trump devoted a significant portion of his remarks at a campaign rally in North Carolina on Monday to mocking former Vice President Joe Biden for his speaking gaffes…and then took a bizarre turn when he singled out one of the rally attendees as a “Mexican”.
Trump jabbed Biden for accidentally referencing “Super Thursday” rather than “Super Tuesday” and for mixing up states at times on the campaign trail. The president also claimed that Biden and other Democratic candidates have small crowds, musing at the size of the gatherings of his own supporters at his frequent campaign events.
“Tomorrow, voters in states across the nation for Super Tuesday — not Super Thursday. Oh, he said Super Thursday! You can’t do these things. Can you imagine if I said Super Thursday? I would be over, right? I would be over,” Trump said of Biden.
“He’s constantly naming the wrong state,” the president continued. “Once that happens, you might as well leave the state.”
Trump, who has repeatedly made false or misleading statements and misspelled words on Twitter, said that Biden’s mistakes were “a little scary.”

Trump at one point suggested Biden wouldn’t really be serving as president if he were elected, claiming he would be put “into a home” and that “other people” would perform his duties.
“They’re going to put him into a home and other people are going to be running the country and they’re going to be super-left radical crazies,” Trump told the crowd.

Trump claimed that Mexico is paying for the wall, which it isn’t. It’s truly unreal to see Trump lie so easily. Nothing he says here is true:

Then Trump, with no explanation whatsoever, just singled out one of the attendees at the rally and called him a Mexican. Then seemed to suggest that because he had light skin, he couldn’t be a Mexican.
A very bizarre moment as Trump points to somebody in the audience and says, "This guy — he's a Mexican. You're about as Mexican as I am. Look at this guy. Are you Mexican? Are you? He is. It's like Elizabeth Warren. She said she was an Indian." pic.twitter.com/sfG8GsMPAD

Twitter had some thoughts:
Trump just pointed to a guy in the crowd, asked if he's Mexican, and insisted he's not really Mexican because he doesn't look Mexican.
Really want a reporter to ask Trump what he thinks Mexicans are supposed to look like.

I can think of few things more dangerous than being pointed at and called a Mexican in an arena full of people who regularly chant “build the wall” because their racist President has told them Mexicans are invaders and rapists.

Nothing says “presidential” like pointing and laughing at someone. Look at that audience behind him; the Springer show is underway! Except Jerry’s show had way more class.

This man is mentally unstable and dangerous. How does anyone still support him? Get him some mental health help.

Even the cult members behind him are making that "that sounded racist" face.
What was the "he is. he isn't." mental glitch?@ewarren said she was part Native American, not Indian. #Orangeface thinks Native Americans and Indians are the same, despite just visiting India.
