Donald Trump has completely deranged meltdown about speaking Chinese
With Donald Trump’s poll numbers continuing to get uglier, it’s becoming more clear than ever that the racist antics he used in the 2016 campaign aren’t going to work for him in 2020. So instead of trying to shift to a different strategy, Trump is naturally doubling down on his losing strategy.
Today Trump said that if Joe Biden is elected, “you’re gonna have to learn to speak Chinese.” This is absurd, racist, xenophobic, and extraordinarily desperate. Trump’s base loves this stuff. But the more egregious Trump makes his racist lies, the fewer people outside his racist base will fall for it.
Congressman Ted Lieu was on hand to kick Trump’s racist butt over the remark:
Dear @realDonaldTrump: I speak Chinese. I also served on active duty in the United States military—something you were too afraid to do—to defend your right to say stupid shit. https://t.co/3A3u1crH6v

Numerous people across social media have also pointed out that “Chinese” isn’t a language. Various languages are spoken in China, with the most popular one being Mandarin. But you wouldn’t expect a xenophobic ignorant stooge like Donald Trump to understand such things.
