Posts a pic with Diddy… so he's pivoting back from being a racist to being a pedophile? Does he not understand that we already know he's both?

Those are his only modes, so...

"I'm not racist, I've met black people" has got to be the weakest defence I've ever heard. Even for the king of half assed excuses, this is pathetic.

He doesn't even have enough current pictures with black people, that he has to go back decades?

“If there was one person Donald Trump stayed loyal to it was Michael Jackson.” ... Trump ... didn’t believe the accusations of child molestation levied at the “Thriller” singer... The president defended Jackson as recently as 2015, when he tweeted that “Michael was very misunderstood - a great talent.”

He was just misunderstood, guys. He wasn't a pedophile. It doesn't matter if she's nine years old. Age is just a number. -- Trump, probably.
