(the detail is that he's talking about how she self-identifies rather than her appearance itself, but that would ruin a perfectly good nottheonion moment)

He is confused thinks Harris is Hailey. Saw that comment on another post and thought that makes so much sense. He fucking weird and a confused old man.

No he's not. Kamala is open about her Indian heritage... https://youtube.com/watch?v=xz7rNOAFkgE

There is nothing wrong with mentioning her heritage that she openly identifies with. However, being so focused on race at all is just disgusting in general.

Her Indian heritage is so well documented (https://people.com/all-about-kamala-harris-parents-donald-harris-shyamala-gopalan-7974352 as an example) that it's a bit disingenuous to claim that Trump is confused based on this fact. It's also well known that after her parents divorced that she stayed with her Mother primarily. It could even make sense that she identifies more as Indian rather than "black" (Jamaican in this case)...

TL;DR: He's not confused, he's just an asshole.

That's maybe the best thing about this farce of an election.

There is at least one basic guideline for being president now: the ability to think coherently, and we're starting to normalize publicizing very real concerns about 80 year-old brains doing what 80 year-old brains do.
